One thing that I studied in Rede was the Golgatian language. It is notoriously difficult to learn because the language has hardly any rules. I suppose the thousands of years of adapting has made the Golgatians' minds better equiped to learn it. I am a bit rusty, but here are two phrases in Golgatian for you:
Nuedyofae, vellem zurielodre. Ta frod we Pendangorth.
Which means: "Greetings, fellow travellers. My name is Pendangorth."
And just for Salius Kai I think it is:
"Mewsete ze zieke mrole ev wavofoze lacelefad."
Which means "Welcome to these walls of infinite knowledge."
Tommorow, if you wish, I can teach you how to say phrases like: "Hello, how are you?" etc. and perhaps teach you how to have a simple conversation in Golgatian. |

Do you use a specific set of rules for this language construction?.

Good question. Actually, the word order is very much the same as English- there is a great deal of history behind Golgtian. I'll speak with you more on Monday on the subject if you wish. |
