Latin Project
« on: February 24, 2010, 12:00:38 pm »

Hey guys! I just got a good (I believe) idea. How about we try making the latin language in DF? I started making it, then decided that it would be better and faster to get some help, since I don't know anything about latin, except, of course, that it sounds cool.

This is the current file. The arrows (<) flag words I couldn't find a translation too, and I marked where I stopped. Perhaps somebody could check it over and lend a hand with this?

EDIT: Trying to get the file up... Stand by

Oh, OK, thanks. Would've been bad to do the entire thing and realize it had been done before.

Even if you got all the Latin translations of all the words, you could only get as far as Dog Latin because DF doesn't know how to inflect words—that is, modify them to indicate syntax like in any real-life language.
