    Roegadyn = German?

    So how much of the Roeg dictionary is actually reminiscent of the German language?

    I've noticed a few words and I'm curious, since I don't actually know German

    Bhrat -- Meat
    Wyrst -- Sausage
    Nahct -- Night

    Germanic to be specific. Some of it corresponds to modern German, but most of it is older forms of the language.

    Definately following a German/Nordic language pattern

    I think a lot of the names of Roe npc, seem to be based on old Saxon names.

    From what I Glean from the Rogaedyn dictionary that a lot of the words sound kinda Germanic/Scottish/Nordic with a mix of Potteries' slang in there too. (Unless you're from around Stoke-on-Trent in England, you're probably not going to get what that is, sorry ;; lol)

    I know Stahl is steel in German, so there are definitely some Germanic influences in the culture's language.
