this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler
and that is terrible

Anyway, I pronounce it as /ju˞ɹɪst/

It's not sad, it just means that only two people on the forums can read IPA

The right way to pronounce is «Ürist»

Because dwarfs deserve many ümlaüt.

(Note: IRL, there's no umlaut in «umlaut»)

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Ist "Urist" «jer ist» oder «ör ist» oder «ür ist» oder «˙r ļst» oder  « :o rist »  oder «Jennifer» ?

Too much fun with this here thread.  Too much fun.

In Russia, Urist pronounces you.

That way.

Actually in Russia "you-rist" means "lawyer", that's why many russian folks think that my nickname in some games means "lawyer" :D. But I pronouce it "oo-rist".

Perhaps the community should do some work on constructing the Dwarven language (Dwarfish?), accent, pronunciation and everything. It's been done before; look at Avatar or Klingon.

Is there an existing thread for this that anyone knows of? If not, I'd like to get that project started somehow. I've started writing some songs in Toadese, but it's a little difficult without words for "to be" etc. Also, it would be one of the things that the community could do to help Toady while he focuses on other stuff. If he agrees and we do this, in-game poetry, songs, long books/slabs in Toadese etc. might not be as far off.

I like to make music especially for Dwarf Fortress and Soundsense in my spare time (https://www.youtube.com/simonswerwer, http://soundcloud.com/simonswerwer). Also check out Toadese Language Utility to read and write DF dwarven texts (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136098). Bang the tankards!

Hm, that would be neat. Especially adding the little dwarven words.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

No such thread exists yet. Community project? Community project.
