In order of fluency for me: English (native), Latin, Spanish, German (basic, understanding not communication), Esperanto (very basic), Greek (beginning to learn) I can also understand many languages with a dictionary and grammar.

The set of languages which I speak fluently is smaller than what people might expect, but I am willing to curl up with a grammar book of many languages to dabble, of which I have done so with many. 天火狐 On 29 June 2017 at 10:31, V.J Radawrote: > I am purely English speaking rip. > > > On Friday, June 30, 2017, CuddleBeam wrote: > >> >More generally for everyone, what languages do you speak? >> >> In order of fluidity: >> >> Spanish (native), English (native), Swedish (native but I haven't >> practiced in forever so jag minnas inte mycket av det), Japanese (unhealthy >> amounts of anime lol), German (very basic), French (very basic), Lojban (if >> I have a dictionary with me). >> >

Re: DIS: Decoding attempt
That's pretty good, actually. It's transliterated Neo-Akkadian for "If I were to send meaningless messages, would it do anything?" I have an interpretation of the rules. Instead of debating about it, I think it is much more interesting to do things that test it and see what Agora decides. I feel my stance on the issue as worded is quite clear given the translation of the moon language, although I would like to see what o comes up with. 天火狐 On 29 June 2017 at 02:47, Ørjan Johansenwrote: > After googling a bit, here's my attempt using > http://www.assyrianlanguages.org/akkadian/search.php and > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian: > > Orig. transcription > Dictionary lookup > Suggested translation > > šumma našpartamrāqtam > szumma naszparturaqu > If message-acc void,meaningless-fem-acc > > ašpur, mimma epēšū? > szaparumimma epeszu > i sent/wrote, anything do/act? > > Greetings, > Ørjan.
