So, because some people in OOC asked, uh...
I. I'm a hideous person. I hold that language is an
extremely fundamental part of someone's culture, and the structure of a language can tell you a lot about the culture they grew up in. Thus, I started to think about what sort of language Cybertronian is anyway. For instance, despite the fact that there are "Femmes" and "mechs" in several continuities, these things don't scan directly to "male" and "female" as we know them since Cybertronians don't reproduce sexually; thus, such a language wouldn't have gender pronouns. And then I went "it is however a pretty damn stratified society, particularly for 'cons which have had a military structure for
millions of years.
S-so I created this. Orz. It's the barest beginnings of a conlang. It's
far from complete and probably completely wrong especially since I don't know jack about IPA notation. Also, since this was mooostly done to alleviate my own boredom, it focuses on G1 (s-sorry animooted, beast wars, and movieverse casts!) Also, this isn't based on anything official other than my own insane ramblings, so... no, Hasbro hasn't actually made a conlang, they usually just use funny symbols that are actually English.
( moar behind cut )( Significantly more incomplete information about continuity differences and written language )Finally, my own horrible attempts at actually pronouncing this stuff!
A shoddy attempt at actually pronouncing Starscream's nameVre` ʘǁzva? Dekh A`kho!-zva.Botcast and... everyone. Can feel free to ignore this, it's not necessary for headcanon I just. Did this to amuse myself.
orz.
