I love Elizabethan…it’s gorgeous. Unfortunately, I don’t think that I’m all that great at writing in it
And honestly? “Coy Woodnesse” is the sweetest phrase on Earth.
Bonjour!!! Commo ca va? Je tres bien. Parle tu francias? Je suis (eating) la glace. Jaime boucoup la glace!!!

4- It was Pig Latin.
One improvement I can make to basic Pig Latin is also using the word ending -us alongside with the word ending -ay. Example:
Iay eallyray ikelay isthay eadthray vs. Ius eallyray ikelus isthay eadthray.
The second seems more like a real language, does it not?
Speaking of Pig Latin, my social studies teacher played a CD called, Oresnay, Oresnay, sung completely in Pig Latin. It was mostly slow chants, and they were supposed to give us an idea
what real medival chants sounded like. It said some funny stuff that was totally unrelated to the Church, which real chants then were about. Has anyone else heard of this CD?

les claviers francais sont differents que les aux etats-unis, pas seulement parce qu’il y a des accents mais aussi qu’il y a les lettres dans les autres places: q, a, et w je sais certainement. qu’est-ce qu’on aime faire?

GAPAS could you take this therd off the site? Nobody ever posts here. Even though I love this site, being a quadrilingual. Could you revive it?
61 (Cliff) – You’re quadlingual? That’s so cool! What languages do you speak?
Herestillim.
61- I happen to love this thread!
why would you want to take it away from me?
WHY?!
anyways, I’m learning sign language. : D
I started last year, and then stopped a bit over the summer, but now I’m starting again.
So now I am fluent in English, okay at French, fluent in writing Elvish, and know quite a bit in sign language.
Hablo espanol* muy bien.
*Yes, I know there should be a little squiggle above the n. I’m too lazy to go into Character Map.
Iand Agegulanspeak wellyver. Allteraf, ittedvenini.
64 (Fortune Cell) – I’m learning Sign Language, too!
I’m fluent in English,
Proficient in Spanish (I passed the proficiency exam, anyway),
Fluent in written Elvish,
and okay-ish in American Sign Language.
I know all the letters in sign language and as much as I could decipher/remember from that blonde at church three years ago. I can letter-sign now.
I’m going to this random college for a feild trip and we’re learning sign language there.
Oh! I can also read Japanese. I only know a few of the actual words, but I know both of the alphabets (Katakana and Hiragana), and I know a fair amount of Kanji (Chinese Characters)
I speak English, Spanish, Lushootseed and S’Klallam. Also I speak a little Tlingit and Armenian.
I’ve never heard of Lushootseed *looks up*
Lushootseed (also xʷəlšucid, dxʷləšúcid, Puget Salish, Puget Sound Salish, Skagit-Nisqually) is the language or dialect continuum of several Salish Native American groups of modern-day Washington state. Lushootseed is a member of two main divisions of the Salishan language group, Coast Salish and Interior Salish.
My aunt and cousins used to live in Armenia, but only my aunt knows Armenian.
What’s it like to be quadlingual?
70- its actually really fun. But the sad thing is that Lushootseed is endangered. There’s only about 3000 speakers left and 200 of those are over the age of 70. Also, I am actively working with the Rosetta Stone Foundation on Lushootseed and Sklallam along with elders of those respective tribes, because there is a direct possibility that I could be one of the last speakers.
Every week, 10 languages (about) becomes extinct. There are 200 languages with less than five speakers, including Siletz Dee-Ni and Yuchi. In 1993 Lushootseed was a language that 17 people spoke, but since it was inserted into Native schools, it has risen. I advise everyone to learn lushootseed. www. tulaliplushootseed. com
Too bad they banned 1337 on here.
I would really love to learn it–is it hard? I’m learning Spanish, and hope to one day become fluent. I also would like to become fluent in Sign Language (I’m planning on taking an advanced course this summer to get better). I’d love to help save endangered languages!
73- well, it looks hard at first because it has a new alphabet, but once you get going its easy. Halh ha’adzo! (good luck)
Yeah, I was looking at the website and all the little letters that look like exponents were really confusing
Are there verb tenses?
75-yes, but its easy. you add ?es- to a word. so lhalhil means “he lives there” and ?eslhalhil means “he lived there”. The alphabet is easy. good website: http:// www. geocities.com/pugetsalish/alphabet2.htm
[The GAPA’s aren’t keen on external links, but this one looks all right, so I’m refraining from zapping — Rosanne]
The exponents are easy, just pronounce them, so gʷ is pronounced gw. The only irradical letters are xʷ (wh, like you are blowing out a birthday cake), x̌ʷ, which sounds like khf, ƛ, which is a really fast tl, and ɫ, which you make by putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth and blowing out.
Sorry Rosanne, but I’m just trying to save an endangered language…
Also if you go to that website you might not be able to understand me because that website is in Southern Lushootseed, spoken by the Suquamish, Duwamish, Squaxin, Muckleshoot, and Puyallup peoples, and I speak Northern Lushootseed (Lummi, Nooksack, Snohomish, Skagit, and Sauk-Suiattle
So there is only present tense and past tense? Are there changes in tense for He, She, We, They, I, You, etc.?
I’m working on the vocabulary, but it’s hard because there won’t really be a way I can practice with another person, verbally. I guess I’ll work on the written, then if I move to Washington or something I’ll learn to speak it
…or maybe I’ll make THF learn it, too.
Well, no there are no tense changes. You use the verb for every thing. so for example, eshiiÉ« means, to be happy. eshiiÉ« chud means, I’m happy. eshiiÉ« chuf means, your happy. But the difference between the past tense marker and the verb eshiiÉ« is that there is no silent mark before it.
So what words have you learned so far?
Well, I’m working on the phrases on the first website you gave me: How is the day? It’s cold, It’s hot, It’s raining, It’s snowing. The alphabet is still rather confusing, though, so it might take awhile.
I’m glad there aren’t different verb tenses for everything, because then it would be really really hard. Is the grammar and sentence structure similar to English?
Not at all. In the sentence: We will unwrap this thing that the hunters gave us: ɫugwexhalijed cheɫ ti?e?h ds(h)el?dub e ti s-?ub?ubedi. Literally, Will open it we this me given to by the hunters.
That should be really difficult to learn. ::ponders::
I think what I really need is an English-Lushootseed dictionary. The library doesn’t have one, so I guess I’ll find one online or something. Is there an easy way to learn grammar/sentence structure, or is there no pattern?
Dawn Bates, Tom Hess, Vi Hilbert. Lushootseed dictionary, search it on Amazon.
It’s $40.00. Hmm. Maybe I’ll beg my library to get it
Eschal Chuf? Sorry it costs so much. well first learn all the stuff off the websites. Then if you want to continue, then buy it. also there’s a chock full of stuff on the Tulalip elementary school website, google it. huy’
hello, anybody home?
Yeah, I’m here.
I haven’t learned much, though, I’ve been insanely busy with NaNoWriMo and I’ve been sick so I have tons of make-up work. But I’ll try to learn more over Thanksgiving Break
I have no language learning talent whatsover, except for the fact that I’m almost fluent in Spanish.
Wait, I know leet.
Okay, Spanish and leet.
88- well, it just comes to people naturally sometimes. I don’t know where I got it from because my mom can speak two languages and my dad can speak one. so can my brother. But I can speak 4 because i am teh pwnage at languages.
89 (Cliff Eagle) – what languages do your parents speak? how did you learn the other languages/how long did it take you?
My dad speaks english. My Mom speaks english and spanish. I learned spanish through my school, Lushootseed through my relatives, and S’Klallam online.
