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.

Thankyou very much Aneama.
 Right scholars! Here is the first lesson in Golgatian.
I will teach you the necessary phrases to have a simple conversation.
Hello- Idole
How are you? - Ice hud ter?
I’m fine- Ead we vofe
Not too bad- Fez zec qri
Not very well- Fez idra melo
I’m alright- Ead we hrulniz
And you?- Hai ter?
Ditto (just incase)- Ilyde
What’s your name? - Mirz we teru frod?
My name is… - Ta frod we…
Goodbye- Vrudqad
Phrases/words that Alaundo might use:
Well met, and welcome to the forums: Merh tez, hai melsete ze zie verite.
Well met, and welcome to Candlekeep: Merh tez, hai melsete ze Shaireleik.
Realmslore- Rehroerere (strange word, I know!)
Library: Roquart
There you go scholars- the first lesson of Golgatian.

| 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. |

| but if the word order is much the same as english then there must be many rules, i am not sure that this language exists with any boundaries, i mean no accusation but i believe you are writing any old giberish then making up meanings. |
