[Game} Language Game

[Ravinwind]

Ok the goal of the game is to say something simple in another language and have the person below it identify the language translate what was said into English, then say something in a different language, without anybody using the same language twice.
For example if someone said:

Hola

TPBM would say

Spanish Hello

I will start with

01100010 01101111 01110010 01100101 01100100

[Katleen Vranckx]

Ascii bored

ni hao ma

are we allowed to use google translate?

[Ravinwind]

LOL Also spelled 你好吗 it is Mandarin for How are you? I think

The above was actually binary lol ACII DEC/ Char would have been 98 111 114 101 100 for bored.

LOL and sure I think for most people they will have look up most things on the web to try and get it

expiscor

PS Its amazing the games we come up with to amuse ourselves in the we hours of the morning isn't it lol

[AutumnVoid]

Latin "to find"?

レイベンスカイが大好きですよ。 (Putting this into Google Translate is quite funny, I hope someone will work it out though )

[Ravinwind]

LOL Its Japanese and says you love Ben Ray Skye lol

שטערן טרעק

[AutumnVoid]

Yup, Good ol' Ray-Ben-Skye City hehe

That's Hebrew for Star Trek!

나 배고파요!

[Ravinwind]

LOL I thought that's what you were going for lol. LOL and Was Yiddish for Star Trek lol but I guess technically close enough lol.

Ooh Korean food does sound Good about now, alas all I have is bologna and cheese in the fridge

LOL above was Korean for I'm Hungry.


Moeg van die armes.

[Katleen Vranckx]

that's either west-flemish or south african for tired of the poor (they're basically the same language)

i gá caife

[AutumnVoid]

That looks like... Irish (Gaelic?) for "I need coffee"?

Tôi có thể có một cà phê quá? Không có đường, xin vui lòng.

[Katleen Vranckx]

з молоком?

vietnamese for: can I have a coffee too? no sugar please.

[Ravinwind]

LOL was Tired of being poor lol but yeah

above was I believe Bela-Rusian for "Got Milk?" I think.

Here's one I don't think will work with Google Translate lol

Hab SoSlI' Quch!

[Katleen Vranckx]

tss, no need to start insulting people!
yes, so my mother has a smooth forehead, so does yours! (Klingon)

pedo mellon a minno

[Ravinwind]

"Speak, friend, and enter" Khuzdul the Ancient Tolkien Dwarfish Language

dif-tor heh smusma

[Katleen Vranckx]

live long and prosper (yes, I'm making the V-sign too) - Vulcan

and pedo mellon a minno is actually elfish (Sindarin), it was on the door of the dwarf mine, but it was made by an elf. But close enough

urugal-she ba-ra-ed

[Ravinwind]

LOL See I was going to say Sindarin, but I was tired and couldn't remember lol I knew it was on the Doors of Durin leading into Moria but could remember if the Script was Elvish or Dwarfish lol

Ok this ones taking me a bit looks like Ancient Phonetic Sumerian kind of

Urugal - she
Netherworld Daughter of Nanna(Moon Goddess) and was the ruler (Queen) of those that had passed beyond the veil of death and sat in judgement

ba- ra - ed
pass over, stretch out, bar access to or open wide pampered or spoiled

So in Context thinking translation may may be something close to but not exact to something like

Judge of the Underworld bar entrance to paradise to those who do not work toward salvation

ایک آسان وقت آ گیا ہے.

[Katleen Vranckx]

it is indeed sumerian, as it's a dead language translating between it and modern day english is quite difficult, but it basically means: go to hell!

yours is 'time is simple' in Urdu I believe (we're really starting to get challenging!)


sorry, it's an image, otherwise the letters weren't recognized. I realize this makes it very difficult, if you can't find it, i will add the phonetics

[Ravinwind]

Ok don't give the Phonetics yet, but give me a clue.

I am seeing symbols that look like symbols for letters similar to Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. Is it a root language common to all three?

Or is it a modern language like computer code or HTML that uses letters from various Language groupings?

[Katleen Vranckx]

it is a living language, though it could be extinct in a few generations. The languages you mentioned are on the wrong continent.

[Ravinwind]

LOL OK well lets see its not Slavic though several of the Characters are similar, Know its not Cherokee Navajo, but haven't ruled out other Native American languages. Lets see the Aborigine only had spoken language.

Ok give me another clue lol there's just so many language bases that use triangles in them lol As well as some of the other symbols lol Have gone through like 30 languages I knew that used one or more of the symbols but haven't figured out which one has all of them in it yet. LOL The fact that I knew it was a living language helped as that eliminated a whole bunch of options.

[Katleen Vranckx]

go north

[Ravinwind]

LOL Ok Should have figured it was an Inuit Language I think Inuktitut

And am probably far off on this Translation but I think it says something like the Inuktitut Language will never perish.

Quvianagli Anaiyyuniqpaliqsi suli Nakuuluni Ukiutqiutiqsi

PS http://www.languagegeek.com has .ttf files for almost any language encoding lol Lets you type in other language formats on your computer such as the picture file you posted above, such as AboriginalSans and such that have those language characters in the script pack. LOL Not that helps with the above since there are not any Inuit online translation services lol

[Katleen Vranckx]

Sorry, lost track!

yes it is inuktitut, it means 'One language is never enough'
tnx for the languagegeek tip, will check it out!
