Fish-Man Sociology and Linguistic Studies

Part I: Fish-Man Language

Overview of the first octopus

What is Fishman Language? Fish-Man is the language spoken by all Fish-People on Azeroth.

The nature of fish-man language: structurally ---- phonetic system that expresses actual meaning; functionally---- communication tool (some scholars believe that it has the role of a thinking tool, but it has not been found that the Fishman language has a writing system); In terms of language family---- equality and no class.

Classification of the second octopus.

(1) Common languages and regional differences

At present, it has not been found that there is a standard common language of the fish-man language, but some scholars have studied and believed that the fish-man language does have a common basis (wow wow woo woo goo: comrades, rush! and regional differences (differences in the beginning and end notes). This view is widely shared.

(2) Causes of regional differences

At present, most scholars who study the language of the fish-people generally believe that there are differences in the language used by the different branches of the fish-people. This is largely due to long-standing geographical isolation.

(3) The division of the dialect area of the fish-man language

It can be divided into three main categories: Kalim dialects, Eastern Kingdom dialects, and Northrend dialects. Although it can still be subdivided, the prevailing belief is that there is no language barrier between the fish-people within each of the three main continents.

Characteristics of the third octopus language

(1) Phonetics: consonants are dominant; The vowels are extremely underdeveloped. (Of course, this is mainly because the understanding of Fishman is not deep enough)

Note: Some scholars believe that the fish-man language has zài tones, but there are not many supporters of this view.

(2) Vocabulary: the morphemes are very developed; Words are generally formed by using the method of root compounding and stacking; Words generally have no less than five syllables.

(3) Grammatical aspects: different syntactic structures are the main ways to express different meanings; The ordering of words is not standardized, and there are many different combinations (some scholars tend to regard this phenomenon as different ideographic ways); The functionality of words is mostly singular; Modal words are abundant.

The status of the fourth octopus

Fish-Man language is an important entry point for the study of fish-man thought and culture, so the research on fish-man language in major organizations is becoming more and more extensive and in-depth.

Tidal flats outside the town of Nanhai.

Gollumda, ahhh

(I know where the tall and skinny fish are hiding)

Oops, whoa.

(Can't beat the tall and skinny)

Wow, whoa

(Don't be cowardly, just do it)

Mudada, Gollum, let's go, wow wow.

(Calling More Brothers)

Wow wow wow woo

(Comrades, rush!) ）

As the most powerful warrior of the Shatterfinned Clan, Amdaba has been fighting against the oppression and plundering of the Shatterfinfish people by the Naga Clan on the Second Landing Bridge all year round. Able to kill deep-sea sharks independently, Amda Bar has a size and strength far beyond its peers, if you query the attributes, it should be:

Rusty small anchor (the tail anchor of the Gilneth Kingdom merchant ship Titanic, which unfortunately ran aground and sank on its way to the town of Nanhai. Attack 37-59, Crush +3, Heavy Attack +2.

For unknown reasons, the Naga in the coastal area has disappeared recently, and the bored Amda Bar is ready to go to the beach to dig up mussel shells to eat, but I hear the people talking about those guys who have the same face as Naga and have Amdam Bar Gu (patterned grouper, which means fat pot-bellied fish in fish language). So Amda Bar decided to join the hunt.

After going ashore, without the protection of Mother Sea, Amdabar's body felt significantly heavier, but the warehouse where Amdabar was stored was not far from the shoreline, so Amdaba could still hold on.

It was a wonderful smell that smashed the brittle wooden walls and filled the olfactory organs of Amdabar.

But as soon as Amuda Bar ate the third fish, the screams of the clansmen came, grabbed the iron anchor, and Amda Bar walked out of the warehouse.

was surrounded, Amdabar understood that this was a trap, there was really no free fish to eat on the sea, and the surrounding clansmen saw Amdabar, barely maintaining morale without collapsing, but there was no determination to fight.

Amdabar took a few steps forward and slammed the anchor in his hand to the ground.

Ahh

(It's a pure fish, just go head-to-head!) ）

At this moment, a human stood up, he untied his black bearskin coat, drew the saber at his waist, refused the shield handed to him by the tin can next to him, and pulled out the saber at the waist of the tin can with his backhand.

The people around him seemed to try to stop him, but he was stopped by his order, and he walked to the distance of ten steps from Amdaba (about fifteen meters, Amdaba is about two meters high on land. ）

Rata rattle.

(I'm going to crush your bones)

With that, Amda Bar charged, but the anchor was extremely heavy on land. Amu, I feel like I'm a little out of shape. The human jumped to the side like a frog, and Amda knew that if he swung the anchor as originally planned, he would definitely smash the air, so he decisively swung the anchor and smashed the ground, and stopped his body abruptly. The human rushed over, and Amda pulled the anchor and swung it up, the sound of the iron anchor breaking through the air with the rubble was particularly deep. Amda could already see the scorching blood spilling on his body, but the iron anchor swung and the human's form shattered like foam. Misses the enemy, and the iron anchor's inertia brings Amdabar down on his back.

Amu, I wanted to pull the anchor to create a disturbance and get up, but with a bang, I felt that my hand was very light, hey, where did my palm go?

Amda suddenly felt something kick in his head, and there was a Venus in front of him, and when the dizziness subsided, he could only see a human foot, and the other foot was stepping on his chin.

It was as if something was touching his cheeks, and it felt cool.

Woo mm

(You're amazing)

After finishing speaking, he found that he had become taller, but it was strange that he couldn't control his body anymore, and when he wanted to speak, he couldn't make a sound.

What are the humans cheering?

Amuta, thinking about it, fell asleep.
