Lord of Admirals Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 This is a project I've been thinking of starting for awhile. I've wanted to try and learn as many words in Sangheili as possible. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. Q. Where can you find examples of their language? A. There are a varitey of sources that provide examples of their language with translations. Campaign, Spartan Ops cutscenes, Spartan Ops Gameplay, and the Jul 'Mdama Terminal. Q. How do we know they use a grammar structure similar to our own? A. The voice actor for Jul 'Mdama himself confirmed that Sangheili is heavily based off of Japanese. Q. What if I'm unsure if I'm translating correctly? A. Post your findings in this thread and provide your source material so a group effort can be made. The Sangheili Dictionary By The Lord of Admirals, 343i.Org, Halo Archive, and Halo Waypoint A. Arum - Noun - A cultural puzzle meant to teach Sangheili youth patience and determination. B. C. D. Didact - Noun - The Ur-Didact. Domo Incanon - Noun - Human Domo - Noun - Human. shortened. E. F. G. Garei - Noun - You. H. Heiro - Noun - Hand. I. Incanon - Noun - Human. shortened.

BaconShelf Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 We also know that they use names in the same as us, may sound obvious but I felt it was worth mentioning. (Glassman, Phillips, Halsey, Didact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Admirals Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 We use their names in our language too. Right now, I'm trying to understand why they use english words for Didact, Forerunner, Promethean, Knight, and Artifact. Also, two words I'm stuck on: Uchanse - The most varied word I hear. Sometimes it sounds like 'Nchanse, Uchanse, or even Uchanke. Intoyuko - Sometimes they pronounce it very differently, like Intaiyuko for example.
