Arunafeltz Linguist

[Linguist Dictionary]

Language distinguishes humans from animals. Every single intellectual life form has their own language.

Language is a method / system which delievers one's feeling or thinking by voice or letters. Anyway, its purpose is to communicate.

Difference between a language and a sound is that language is a socially implied promise by making common system of communication to make it possible to understand eachother.

That Socially implied promise, if we could grasp the meaning of a system and structure, we will be able to understand other intellectual life form's language...

...................................And just who might you be?

This is a restricted place under control of our Commander. No one could enter here without proper approval... Are you acquainted with our Commander?

Language is a distinctive feature of human race compared to animals. Every single intellectual life form has their own language.

What the heck?

If you are so bored, why don't you go fishing?

Ah~ I've heard from our Commander about you. You've done much for the Midgard Alliance Camp. Anyways, what brings you here?

Confusion is a feeling that comes from distraction of one's mind when something that couldn't be predicted happens. I'm not a person who easily gets confused.

I'm a linguist from Arunafeltz. I'm a scholor who studies a system and a structure of every kinds of language in the world.

And...don't you think the reason man like me is here is that there's a predictable cause?

From what I heard, you've done much for the Midgard Alliance Research Group.

And while you were helping us, I believe you've seen and visited many places here in the other world.

Have you met the other world's people by any chance?

Looks like you haven't encountered them yet.

Rumor here says that there's a fairy-looking and a giant wood people living out in the fields next to our camp here.

Apparently these people are speaking in a strange languages that we humans can't understand...but no one seems to be able to remember how their languages sound like.

A NEW language!! This is an exciting discovery for a linguist like myself, but as you know, there's dangerous monsters outside... It's not possible for a mere scholor to go out wandering around.

I've said this much, I think you'd be able to guess what I'm going to ask you to do.

The Alliance Research Group has great interest in other intelligent life. Each country's secret agents are making every effort to communicate with those two races, there's just not enough information.

Do me a favor and go outside of the camp, find the fairies and wooden giants, and remember everything that they are saying, word for word so that I can hear what their language sounds like.

From the look on your face, I think you have something crossed in your mind.

You are back!

So, What were they saying?

Of course you remember them exactly as what they've said, right?

Now, let's start with the Fairies! What is the fairy's language like? Please write them down here sentence by sentence!

And?

Mmm... Hmm...?

I see...?

Is that all?

So...If we put'em together,

RLGHLRXLA TKANTLFDMS

WJACK TNAHRDNJSDMFH

WLSGHKWND !!

It'd be like this.

Hmm...?

You sure this is exactly what they've said?

I can't understand anything from this...

Would you please go back again and check if it is exactly what they were saying?

Good. then next is the Wooden Giants! What's their language like? Write them down sentence by sentence just as you did with the Fairy's.

This is it?

So, If we put'em together,

TJDTMFJDNS CJFDI

TKADLFDMF QKATOS

EKDTLSDML DLFMADMS..

It will be like this.

Hmm...I don't get the idea...

.Hmm....Hm..I see...

....Ummmm...

- Dictionary stared at the paper intently. -

According to the Expedition Camp's investigation, there is a different ethnic race that is similar to fairy's, along with a different ethnic race that is similar to giants.

It is said that they are using a language that cannot be understood by people from Midgard... ...Although we all say this, nobody is able to remember their conversation / words.

A New language!!! As a linguist, I cannot sit here. But outside, there are many different monsters, as a scholar, it is too dangerous to go outside.

and as our conversation has reached this point, you should have an idea of my request, right?

The Tripple Alliance Research Group is very interested in other intelligent life. In order to try and talk to them, national officials have carried out secret effort in every possible way. However, because of lacking information, they are facing difficulties.

If you've encountered those races around the Expedition Camp, you must memorize their conversation! Then report back to me!

............................

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I....CAN'T! UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Whaaaat~~iiis~~ thiiis~~~ Just how do you read thisssssss~~~ I can't understand a single rule in this~~~~ Huh?

..................................

Hmph!

Yes?

...................Hmph...

Ah! Well, It's not as easy as I thought. These languages can't be heard anywhere on the Midgard Continent. No known phonetic rules seem to apply here.

It's hard to grasp their rule or system, and before everything else, I don't even know if this pronounciation is right. I've never heard of this kind of pronounciation.

Ah, right, I heard that a Rune-Midgarts Magician knows a way to conduct research based on a sample of language, would you go and ask him to help me?

The Rune-Midgarts Magician is wandering inside of the Expedition Camp.

It's difficult to continue on a research without some more samples of language. Please do my favor.

I heard that Rune-Midgarts Magician knows a way to conduct a research from a sample of language, would you go see him and ask him to help me?

The Rune-Midgarts Magician is wandering inside of the Expedition Camp.

It's difficult to continue this research without some more samples of language. Please do my favor.

- The Linguist is writing on a paper as if he's obsessed by something -

...Oh, Hello there.

I heard that you brought us a Gem with the other world's language recorded within it. Thanks to your help, decoding process is going well.

Actually, it's going TOO well...

It's a wonder that at the moment when I heard that language first-hand I could decode it flawlessly in spite of myself. It must be the blessing of Goddess Freya.

But the problem is...

How are we going to put together this tremendous data and make it into a portable translator... I just can't figure out how.

I wonder what the Mechanic Engineer from the Schwarzwald Republic would think... Would you be kind to go ask him?

Just how are we going to put together these tremendous data and make it into a portable translator...I just can't figure out how.

I wonder what the Mechanic Engineer from the Republic of Schwarzwald would think...Would you be kind to go ask him?

So, Finally we were able to make a translator!

How is it working? Isn't there any problem with it?

I hope this translator would help you with your journey.

However, Although using a translator is important, the basics of language and communication is that you should try to understand others.

You should not just rely everything on a mere machine...don't forget to be understanding. Enjoy your journey in the otherworld with that translator.
