In Response To: Re: language (Mr Yun) : Wok wok wok may just be an expression. ;) Could be. All I know is it has less syntax than a language which combines information about "I" and "getting guns." Or "He" + location +some point from here." : Since we're dealing with aliens, human language isn't necissarily the same : model. Never said it was. : Maybe Elites are mostly telepathic, :And maybe they don't have language. Who knows? :or speak at really low frequency... To the extent they do speak their frequency is quite low. :or : high, Based on what? See above. :maybe they are using simple syntax so that stupid grunts will : understand...maybe Elites dont bother speaking to them in complete : sentences. Maybe. : I think the answer is we can't understand them...because we can't! :) : - Cortana certainly can, otherwise why would she tap into their "com channels?" I'll opt for the entertainment factor as an explanation of linguistic difference rather than something based soley on reference to the fictional world.
