Title: No! I refuse to speak English!
Post by: Gellule on July 16, 2005, 09:50:41 pm

Actually I will. It\'s just that I will call the language I use the Yliakean.

This thread is just to let you think about the RP name of the language we use... Your opinion?




PS: Ok, Yliakean is not a new word! (Search Yliakean = results)...

Ahh, now this is much better; three cheers for Yliakean!

Rumley, do you mean something like this?

Gellule opens a heavy Ylikean dictionary and reads:


Y?lia?ke?an

adj.

• Of, relating to, or characteristic of Yliakum or its people or culture.
• Of or relating to the Yliakean language.

n.

•   (used with a pl. verb) The people of Yliakum.
•   The original language of Yliakum.
•   A translation into or an equivalent in the Yliakean language.
•   A course or individual class in the study of Yliakean language, literature, or composition.
•   also yliakean

         1. The spin given to a propelled ball by striking it on one side or releasing it with a sharp twist.
         2. Bodily movement in an effort to influence the movement of a propelled object; body Yliakean.
[/list]
[/I]


 :D I do like the last part (noun 5.) with the ball yliakean. Make me think about the kind of game Yliakum people play. Do they actually have any game? Hags, for sure, and...

We should come up with something better for (noun 2.). It does not reflect the various influences on our Yliakean language. Historians of Yliakum I summon your help.
