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.

Louis is exactly right. In FoR it says that the suit that the spartians wear translate teh grunts language. How or why other languages are not translated is anyones guess.
