Will Nords have their own unique language?

Post » Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:59 pm

I doubt it but I thought I would ask; will we hear any Nords speaking in their Nordic tongue? In TESIII Morrowind, you hear some Dunmer mumbling in their native tongue. In Redguard, we heard a Khajiit speak in his native tongue. It would be nice to enter a tavern and overhear a light conversation that was in pure Nordic dialect and not the typical Tamrielic that we always hear (English, German, French, Russian, etc... depending on your country.) Or is the Dragon language the only language they have spent time creating?

I wish they would add some phrases like in Morrowind, but I doubt it. They probably put all their efforts into the dragon language.

I don't think so, 'cause it was never in any of the other TES games that I know of. Could be cool if they could talk in Norse. I think it was more of a Morrowind thing too, 'cause the spoken dialogue was separate from the written dialogue. I hope some of that is in Skyrim now, since the voice acting should be much more diverse than Oblivion's.

Although Dunmer would say N'wah in Oblivion (I think), their native word for foreigners.

Maybe, we'll have to wait and see I guess. :\

I just hope when they get drunk.. they sound drunk.
Nords + alcohol = bloody fun time.

I always wished each race had their own language. I'd happily accept subtitles for the sake of fictional languages created.

Not if they only say some things in their own language, like in Morrowind. It was usually when they were talking idly.

But we're in Skyrim. It doesn't make sense for us not to understand the bloody language of the place the game is set.

It's like if the Prince of Persia games were done completely in Arabic.
