But... but I created Semnat... YOU CAN'T STEAL MY BABY FROM ME!! I GAVE BIRTH TO IT!!! NOT YOU!!!!
18th November 2003, 4:36 PM
That baby is half mine! I helped create it!!
... ... I'm going to, at this point, just walk away and we'll both pretend that I never said that. Okay? :barf:

You TOTALLY didn't create semnat! It's not an English word even!

Huh, its a word in Romanian... but what does it mean? :)
19th November 2003, 4:07 PM
I made up that word back in Junior High school and I certainly didn't know that it was an old Romanian word.
Hey, I even found out that califat is a real word as well! But I still made it up! ... SHUT UP!!
19th November 2003, 4:47 PM
Well... they weren't English words, anyway, and that might count for something. :)
19th November 2003, 10:24 PM
Well, I never heard of them before so I made them up to me.
20th November 2003, 1:57 PM
That's it, correct spelling and everything. How'd you know?

I'm sure every kid at one point or another made up their own imaginary language :D.

I made up my own alphabet back in elementary school. The only person that bothered to memorize it was my friend Eddie, but it was still cool since we were able to write long letters using my neat little alphabet. I still remember a lot of it. :D

What? It's Al Bhed.

Al Bhed is a really dumb-sounding language. It's like one of those fake languages that little kids in Barnie make up.
1st December 2003, 8:06 PM
I guess you don't like Dinosaur language either... Same thing really.

2nd December 2003, 6:20 AM
Actually, I think some thought was put into making the Al Bhed language. They wanted to make it so finding each of the primers would translate a letter and make it readable, by just changing letters around. In doing so, they made it so the new letters would work similar to the other letters that would be around it. All the vowels are replaced with other vowels, M becomes S, D becomes T, and so on.
So in reality, Al Bhed is a much more advanced language than your puny dinosaur language! Cu, drana. Buuborayt.

General Scales! (Proper nouns are the same in both languages...)

2nd December 2003, 12:55 PM
I don't care how much thought they put into Al Bhed. The language sounds almost as lame as SFA's Dinosaur language.
*shudders*
2nd December 2003, 1:05 PM
... huh?|
2nd December 2003, 1:34 PM
But they were fun little langauges! I wanna know what Al Bhed was in Japan. It would have had to be COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY different I imagine.

They were stupid languages that made me want to kill every single Al Bhed and Dinosaur in those two games.

You're no fun... elitist....

Stop being such an elitist and just enjoy it okay? Besides, America has no accent. It's the REST of the world that has accents! :D (Yes, I'm fully aware the only accent-less nation is the robot nation...)

2nd December 2003, 4:44 PM
Uhh... what in the world is this "Al Bhed"???
2nd December 2003, 4:45 PM
It's a language that works just like Dinosaur language found in Final Fantasy X (and possibly FFX-2, though I haven't played that to be sure). Just like Dinosaur language, you have to change different letters around, and it's mixed in just such a way that afterwards everything still sounds like words. I'm not sure WHAT the language is like in the Japanese version though. I imagine it's pretty different.

Al Bhed is used in FFX-2 as well, as well as the primer system to decipher the language.
It's fun!

OB1's right. I took Spanish for two years and anytime I spoke it it sounded horrible.

I took Spanish for 5 years (2 in Jr. High, 3 in High School) and yeah, I'd rather not speak it... :)
2nd December 2003, 8:10 PM
My dad has the worst American accent you could imagine. When we lived in Croatia he tried so hard to learn the language but couldn't get anything right, especially the accent. Poor guy. :)
2nd December 2003, 8:15 PM
If that's the case I'm NEVER removing my sig! That's funny!

Nice try with the reverse psychology, DJ but it won't work!
2nd December 2003, 8:58 PM
Learning foreign languages is tough, but possible. I definitely agree that by far the hardest part is trying to sound like a native speaker... it's relatively easy for some people to just learn the words, but speaking them accurately? WAY harder.
3rd December 2003, 7:42 PM
ABF...I know you're just trying to fit in what with the comic in your sig and all that...but don't you think you could use a smaller comic?

Apparently there's no need to complain anymore. :D
