Forum:Language

The language(s) a character does or does not speak are very often significant points in the character's development--often at least as significant as race, religion, nationality, et cetera. Should we have categories for English Speakers, Spanish Speakers, French Speakers, German Speakers, Russian Speakers, and Yiddish Speakers? Those six we could fill with no effort at all. I was thinking we limit it to characters who speak real world languages for the moment, with fantasy language speakers joining later once we have all the bugs worked out. (Algarvian, Classical Kaunian, Unkerlanter, Valmieran, Raumsdalian, the Bizogot Tongue, and the language of the Rulers are all important. So are Elabonian, Sithonian, and the Trokmoi tongue, but we have no characters to fill those and never will.  Most others are rather less significant.  Oh, and the Race's language, that's important too.)  We might even split into native speakers and people who learned it as a second language. Turtle Fan 01:09, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
