In Response To: S'pht & Pfhor languages (Vid Boi)

: OK, Star Trek has Klingon, LotR has Quenya/Sindarin/Khuzdul/black speech and
: I don't know what else...but Marathon only has random characters in
: terminals! So I was thinking shouldn't we create a language for the S'pht
: and Pfhor, just to have one? =)

: Plus, it would be a great pastime for linguaphiles like me, and maybe people
: making their own scenarios could use them...!

Someone tried to create a Pfhor font once. It has been used in scenario design.

: If the idea sucks, please stop me before I spend too much time on it :P

: (By the way, do the Pfhor fighters have masks or do they simply not have any
: mouths? =)

Aye masks. Check the original Pfhor concept sketch in the Marathon Manual and also the cover of IMG July/Aug 1995 for a much clearer representation. Both are available on the Story page.

Cheers
Hamish
