Re: language

In Response To: language (protexts) : How is it the Grunts speak English and not Gruntese, the Elites speak some : sort of language lacking in clear consonants (sounds like they're always : saying "MOVE EM OUT," but it's really distored), Jackals sound : like skreetching cats, and Hunters have nothing to say except to laugh : when they kick your a$$. : WRT Grunts, if one were to take the language issue seriously, either 1) the : foreign lanugage skills of Grunts is so advanced they can pick up English : effortlessly, 2) they have had extensive contact with English speaking : humans, or 3) for some bizzare reason, they study English as a 2nd : language. : Of course one can't really take the language issue seriously. Making Grunts : say stupid things in English is strictly an entertainment issue. : --MattM Fall of Reach suggests that your suit has translating abilities built into it - the obvious inference is that the language of the grunts is easier to decipher than the language of the elites (or the jackals).
