Misc Notes

Very sloppy beginning from me (Xiaou) for what I hope will become a page on the sylvan / fey language.


Orleron wrote: O'Ma and Titania have different versions of sylvan, with O'Ma's version being derived from the same spirit language as elven, and thus related about as closely as sanskrit and german, which are both indo-european languages.

Each race within both fairy races has its own dialect of sylvan, which is regarded as a separate language, and is about as close as Italian and Spanish.


The road map as I see it then for O'ma fey follows: Avlissian Spirit Language------

  |---Avlissian Sylvan(known by all sentient woodland beings )
        |---Sylvan dialects follow
        |---Nymph
        |---Sylph
        |---Dryad
        |---Nixie
        |---Centaur (near indistinguishable from Sylvan)
     |---Fairy Common (spoken by both Titanian & O'ma fey)
     |--Nanshilae---Nanshilae derivatives

I've based much of what I've done here on the page on Nanshilae because that is probably appropriate. I've kind of de-hebrewed the nanshi here and added more suffixed vowels like -ay or -i to make it more sing-song. Also, there is a fair bit of Japanese and Spanish folded into the word list. Finally I found a terse word list of actual sylvan so that is where everything else comes from. I hope this gives a good starting point to someone.

Some nonsense sounds from the pixie voice set as found in a google search. Seems a good phonetic template to me for the style to shoot for:

Fliji yuma boogba! ---You will regret that!

Migio falafay - iga! --- You will die - here!

Soolna? -- Yes?

Wimi, ninfa! -- Oh, thank you!

Namo...fima ni. -- No...I can't.
