Lawl, k. I'll try.

Japanese and either Mandarin or Cantonese, then some language useful for Biblical studies, like ancient Greek, or maybe Latin, then something like Hindi and Afrikaans just for the fun of it.

If we're talking just for fun I might pick Persian, Igbo, Bengali, Shqip and Quechua. It is a tough call though. Unfortunately I doubt I'll ever have to make the decision for real. hehe.

Ok L_D. Let's see you get this.[/quote]
Thanks for killing my lucky streak. :lol:


[quote name='Hassan' date='18 May 2010 - 05:50 PM' timestamp='1274219426' post='2113105']You can probably get this

Old Church Slavonic. Joseph, Bethlehem...

[quote name='Hassan' date='18 May 2010 - 05:50 PM' timestamp='1274219426' post='2113105']A bit more difficult

I was going to say that I have no idea but it looks familiar and I believe I could select the right answer if this were multiple choice, however, as I type this I can see the image URL inside the quote box and the filename says georgian.gif. :sadder: Still, you pwned me with that one. My lucky streak is fast coming to an end.


[quote name='Hassan' date='18 May 2010 - 05:50 PM' timestamp='1274219426' post='2113105']If you get this I will be amazed.

Bah. I won't even try. There are so many languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet that I know nothing about. Molvanian? jk. pwned again. :smokey:

AWESOME!

My sister-in-law taught Elvish in the Tolkien society so I'm sure she would know these ones. I just recognize the writing as being from Tolkien but couldn't guess on the specifics. Some kind of Elvish? lawl. That's a Frodo quote.

Admitting zero knowledge of the actual language I could still say with 80%+ certainty that I'm looking at Thai script.

Oh wow, pwnage.


Okay, what language are these inscriptions?

There is still major cheezburger waiting for the person who solves this enigma.

Here is something else with the language on it.

:lol:

The first one is Tolkien's translation of the Our Father in Sindarin, and the second is the Hail Mary in Quenya. :love:

So beautiful... :cloud9:

I'd totally want to learn both Sindarin and Quenya. Hahahaha! Entish might be a bit too much for me. I think I'd get frustrated by the length of words.

However, if we're talking "normal" languages to be fluent in, here's my top five:
1. Latin
2. Italian
3. Welsh
4. Korean (I've forgotten a lot since my childhood. :shame: )
5. Spanish

I tend to go for beautiful sounding languages, or languages where speaking it just feels good rolling of one's tongue. However, I do not find Spanish to sound all that beautiful ( Sorry. :paperbag: ) but find it to be quite useful. I'm somewhat functional in Spanish, though definitely not fluent. And I can comprehend a lot of Latin and Italian, but yeah... definitely not fluent.

Anyhooo -- if God wills me to enter a certain convent, perhaps I'll be learning a bit of French, German, and Igbo next year. :clapping: That would be awesome!

To say the least, I am AMAZED at your knowledge of languages, L_D! :notworthy: Very cool. :smokey:

I think this has to be one of the most beautiful scripts I've ever seen. I have no idea what it is though.... my first thought would be something from ancient India-area.

I am a total dunce when it comes to these things. :dunce:

:sadwalk:

Hahahaa!

Awesome. I feel the same way about the sound of a language.

This thread is making me sad in a way because I used to actually find time to study language on a regular basis. Jobs are so lame. But wait, I used to find time even while working full-time. :idontknow: Let us weep... My Latin has suffered terribly and there is no excuse since I'm Roman Catholic and I often pray in Latin and assist at the EF Mass. :doh:

I think it would be neat to do like a survey of linguistics to gain a general familiarity with the major language families of the world and alphabets. I think this would be a neat course for high schools. A game like this thread might be fun for kids too.

I'm being something of a tricksy hobbit with these. perhaps more tricksy than your Tolkien languages. :evil:

I'll expound upon the clue to the first one by saying that a two hundred thousand year old civilization with written language cannot be of this world.

I weep. :weep: Methinks I need to find time to study language on a regular basis. Since leaving the convent, my Spanish has gone WAY downhill... oh the shame.

Okay. I resolve myself to find time to study! :yes:

And I think the bolded bit would be an AWESOME course!
