Chapter 296: Language Storm (I)
Language is a very important thing in human communication, there are more than 5,000 languages in Shijie, and there are more than 1,000 that have not been recognized by Shijie.
If the difficulty of the language is divided into four categories, then the easiest ones are French, English and other pinyin languages, and the most difficult language is only one, that is, Chinese.
Many Chinese students will refute this, they will think that Chinese is the easiest, and English is the most difficult to learn. But in fact, the language difficulty is only relative, just like a person who knows neither Chinese nor English, and you ask him to learn two languages at the same time, and then ask him what language is difficult to learn, then the answer is obvious.
However, no matter how simple the language is, it has been polished over hundreds or even thousands of years. Indeed, come to think of it, it is very strange for people in Western fantasy, that is, people from otherworldly continents to speak English or other languages above this shijie, and it is easy to say that Kede's "Outsider Series" is because that continent was originally the earth, and it makes sense that the main language is English.
But for the rest, don't you think it's weird that an elf or orc is speaking in English? A new shijie should speak a completely new language.
Anyway, Shama is uncomfortable to look at, but weird is weird, do you still expect to create a whole new language? Writing a book to create a language is not something that no one has ever done, but that kind of language is all on paper, and it is estimated that no one understands it except the author, and the kind of language created cannot be spoken, is that still called language? There are bugs at all on top of the logic. Even Chu Xing only mentioned the scattered language of foreign people in the books.
Chu Xing, a master of Western fantasy, knows how to avoid its edge, but Su Shichen ......
"This su really dares to do it, and he really dares to create elf language." Shama was amazed by the audacity of the author of The Frozen Throne. I didn't expect him to dare to do this.
This Elvish language is written in a very strange way, similar to Arabic as a string of strings, and Shama admits that it is very beautiful, but it is difficult to imitate, even if it is written in the book, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not wrong.
"This kind of writing is so weird, it must have been written casually." Shama continued to watch, and it was the appearance of this elven language that made Shama completely take her eyes off the plot of the book. They all concentrated on the study of the author's own elvi language.
I studied and studied, but I found that this weird elf language really seems to have a certain pattern in it, and some of the parts of many elf languages are the same. In other words, this Elvish language is not written casually?
Shama became interested, and was about to transcribe all the elven words that appeared earlier, and when she studied it slowly, a strange word "shierak" suddenly appeared in the book, which was what the orcs said to the elves in the text.
What does this word mean? What does this word made up of letters mean? ”
Chinese people will have the habit of checking Xinhua dictionaries when they encounter words they don't know. Equally. People in the United States also looked up words they didn't know when they encountered them, but they looked up the Oxford English Dictionary, but Shama searched through the dictionary and didn't find this word.
"It's strange, this is the latest version of the Oxford Dictionary, how can there be any words included?"
This is not scientific, and suddenly Shama thought of something, and remembered that what the elves in the book just now said was the author's own elven language. And now it is the words that come out of the mouth of the orcs, and it is not an English word. And a completely new language created by this author?
Thinking of this, Shama's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself, "Won't it?" ”
In fact, it's difficult to create a completely new language with a little more logic in a book. After all, language seems simple but is actually extremely complex, and there is only one human head, and now this "Frozen Throne" is about to appear in the rhythm of two new languages?
Shama couldn't believe it, but her gaze slowly moved down, and sure enough, she saw such a note in the blank space of the book [Beast Language: Stars]
"Oh my God! No way! Was this su decided to create a language for every race? "Sharma feels like she's going crazy, no, to be precise, the author of "The Frozen Throne" is crazy, is there really no problem with creating language without any scruples?
Is there really logic to the language created in this way?
Shama tried her best to calm her mood, she had seen an arrogant author, but she had never seen such a crazy author, this was simply breaking through the lower limit!
Shama thought that was the end of it, but then two new languages appeared, the lingua franca of Azeroth, and the goblin language, especially the way the goblin language was written, if the elven language was written in a strange but beautiful way, then this goblin language was weird and ugly, and it was a ghost drawing charm to describe it in a Chinese word.
"No, this author is so crazy, I really can't stand it!"
Which other book on this shijie is written in five languages? The most important thing is that four of these five languages are created by the author, so are you sure this is not a book written by aliens?
Shama doesn't think Su Shichen is crazy anymore, she completely thinks that Su Shichen is unreasonable.
Yes, although she thinks that the race of the novel shijie should not speak the language above the earth, and the elves, beasts, goblins, and continental lingua franca should indeed be different, which is a fact, but there is no need to write them all, how do you let readers see this large number of new languages?
"Does this su know what a new language is? The new language should be able to be pronounced and written, not just write something that no one knows and call it a language. "Shama is crazy.
Putting down "The Frozen Throne", she was already mad at Su Shichen's way of writing, and she didn't want to watch it anymore, and she couldn't help but comment on the Internet.
Turn on the computer and type in "The Frozen Throne", and strangely no one is talking about it, which makes Sharma extremely surprised. Because the events and promotional animations of the Black Godfather completely made "The Frozen Throne" a hot book, it can definitely be said to be a hot topic. With so much unbelievable original language in the book, how can no one care?
Deep search, but the results are still the same. On the Internet, there are people who discuss characters and plots, but there is no discussion of self-created languages, as if the four original languages did not appear at all.
What's going on?
Shama immediately made a call to her little friend, because yesterday this little friend of hers also said that "The Frozen Throne" is very good.
"Apple, you've watched The Frozen Throne! I know it's pretty good, but is there any original language in it, what? Didn't show up? Are you sure? Good. That's it. ”
The little friend's answer was no, and he told her with great certainty that he didn't, which means that she was the only one who saw these four languages?
"Am I buying a pirated copy?" Sharma was skeptical. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible, because the bookstore she went to was very large.
And there are very few pirated copies of this shijie, not to mention that this is still a rice country, but this is the problem. Weishenme she saw that the author of the book was original in four languages. I picked up "The Frozen Throne" again and read it again, and the four languages created by the author were still lying quietly in the book.
Enchanted?
Curiosity kills cats, and every woman has a cat hidden in her heart, this conclusion is also common in the United States, she has completely forgotten the idea of commenting on the Internet at first, and now she just wants to find out what is going on.
Shama, who has been investigated with great difficulty, finally found what she wanted to see on the overseas official website of "The Frozen Throne".
[The English version of "The Frozen Throne" was released in Europe and the United States. There are 100 books with unexpected surprises, and here's a trick to surprise. 】
I see. This special edition should mean that there are four original language versions, and "The Frozen Throne" has at least millions of copies in the whole of Europe and the United States, and there are only a hundred such books, it seems that her luck is very good, no wonder her friends don't know.
What's the surprise? Read on......
【Continental Common Language】
Letters: AaBbCcDdEeFf
Phonetic Transcription: [a][b][c][d][e]......
【Animal Language】
The beast language has 23 consonants
The dictates kh, sh, th, and zh are fricatives, while the ch and j are fricatives. In Dothraki transcription, c and x never appear, except that c appears in the diad ch, which is pronounced like ch in English check......
There are also elven and goblin languages, which are not alphabetic at all, and all of these languages have tables like English words, yes, even elven and goblin two things that seem to be abnormal have tables, not only as simple as tables, but also how to pronounce them.
"This is the description of those self-created languages that appear in the book?" This complete table shows that there is a logic in those languages, and that the author is not the only one who can understand them, and Sharma checks them with the various languages that appear in the book.
It's crazy!
In addition to these texts, there are also videos.
The person who recorded this video was none other than Su Shichen, the author of this book.
"As I said before, I want to create a shijie, language is the most basic thing as a shijie, and if you want to create a real shijie, you must first create a real language in terms of language. Of course, all I have is an ordinary brain, so naturally it is impossible to create words like real shijie, but in order to be perfect, I can only create a few main words. Su Shichen talked eloquently in the video.
"First of all, I will introduce the beast language to you, what is the most intuitive reaction of the orcs to you? Barbarism, right, so the beast language should be like this Vezhfinsajarhaesheseresvozigereoadoroonshiqethi! From Su Shichen's mouth, a completely unfamiliar language came out, like an alien language.
Shama fully believes that if it is roared, it will definitely be very feeling, and the language of the beast clan is to have this kind of burning feeling.
Next came three other languages, all of which came out of Su Shichen's mouth clearly, especially the goblin language, which had a low and hoarse pronunciation, which was incomparably compatible with the goblin race.
That's amazing!
"Details about these languages can be found on the official website, and they are completely learnable, and there are a lot of words in each language, and I hope readers who are lucky enough to get this version will enjoy it."
Able to write, read, and learn like a real language, Shama was dumbfounded, the author of The Frozen Throne really created four languages for one book?!!!
In addition, the official website also publishes some architectural images and maps of The Frozen Throne, which completely shows the whole of Azeroth in front of people's eyes!
There are also four languages, and Shama is already worried about whether the Alien Continent will be surpassed, this su is too crazy, it is completely believed that the language created by "The Frozen Throne", the Shijie created, will blow what kind of storm will blow.
Just as Shama thought, the whole country exploded the next day......
ps: Taketori is really greasy, give you a thumbs up, and guess what, what are the words that the kitten said in the book? Elven language doesn't need to be guessed, Tolkien's Ring, but what about the other three? (To be continued......)
