Beast Tribe Linguistics

[KageTokage]

Amal'jaa don't have any real speech quirks to them as far as I've noticed.

Ixal have a backwards sentence structure, placing their verbs first, Yoda-style (IE, instead of "I will do this", they'd say "Do this, I will"). Refer to the races of man as "featherless".

Sahagin draw out their S's at times, as do the Ananta. Refer to the races of man as "softskins" and "striders", respectively.

Sylphs tend to speak in the third-person, referring to themselves as "This one".

Goblins have made up several goofy words of their own, like "braincase" = head, "jinglyshine" = gil/money, and probably have the most complex linguistics of all the beast tribes as a result. Refer to the races of man as "uplanders", presumably due to them generally being taller then them.

Gnath always refer to themselves as "we", perhaps out of habit from back while they still a part of the Onemind, but aren't too quirky aside from that.

Moogles have the whole "kupo" thing going on, as per usual.

Vanu like to use similes instead of simple adjectives much of the time, something such as "fierce like angry Sanuwa", being an example. Their manner of speech is also noticeably simplistic. Refer to the races of man as "netherlings".

Kojin don't have any noticeable speech quirks, but do have a more formal, polite manner of speech, as is often typical of the Japanese whom they're based on.

Namazu have a tendency to describe of subjects of their sentences further, oft adding "Very *adjective*, very *different adjective*" after them, or simply emphasize the point with a "No, no", or "Yes, yes".



I'm curious as to how they all speak in the JP version.
