Learn to Speak 87 Fallen Words!

Welcome to Eliksni Grammar 101, where you'll learn how to talk in secret to friend and foe alike. Featuring 87 words, ranging from nouns to adverbs. This project to unravel the mysteries of the Fallen language has been in progress since the release of the House of Wolves DLC, and boy has it been a [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/122860874]long and hard journey[/url], but I'm very satisfied with where it is at the moment. It's probably wisest not to take Variks too literally; he likes to ad-lib here and there. I've taken a degree of liberty with the words not directly translated by Variks in the game, by essentially working on a very long, very difficult crossword puzzle. While it's unlikely to be perfect, nor 100% accurate, I think it's as good as we'll get until Variks decides to feed us some more varied translations! Here's hoping for Destiny 2! I'm told that we have a department of Bungie known as the "FishTank" to thank for the Eliksni language existing at all. I know those dudes are the ones that make the ViDocs and various other neat content, so if it was indeed them that developed the Fallen language, thanks for giving me something to do other than grinding for max grimoire for the last 3 years! If you enjoyed this, please let me know! If this is useful for you, I'd love to hear about what you plan to use it for. Whether it's for creative works or for absolute pure banter. Also, be sure to stay tuned to the [url=http://errata.ishtar-collective.net/]Ishtar Collective's blog, the Errata[/url]. I've been graciously invited to write a blog post to give you guys a deeper insight into my process and notes from transcribing each word. I'm excited to get started on that. Until then, I'd be happy to answer any questions! Cheers!

  • Is that really Dee Bradley Baker doing that youtube video or someone that can impersonate him very well in Variks voice?? Then I'm impressed actually. That video also reminded me of the dovahkin language in Skyrim o3o
