What Does Vilani / Zhodani Sound Like ?

[domingojs23]

I imagine spoken Vilani sounds like Hungarian, and Zhodani like Farsi.

I imagine Vilani sounds like Sumerian and Zhodani sounds like Thracian. :twisted:

Umm, do you have samples of spoken Sumerian and Thracian ? Thanks !

I "hear" Vilani as a middle-eastern language (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, etc.), and Zhodani as a northern Slavic language (Russian, Polish, etc.)

Sorry, I was having a bit of fun with you. Though I suppose some scholars have tried to reconstruct spoken Sumerian, Thracian still remains a mystery language. Though I'm sure the Sumerians were a lost Vilani colony.

Just to keep the proper stereotypes in place, I'd go with Jeff's languages.

Vilani's supposed to be a tonal language like Chinese. Zhodani should be spoken with a faint telepathic accent.

I see Zhodani being close to the dead Middle Eastern languages or near dead such as Chaldean .Vilani I see being closer to the old Latin or Slavic .
