I mean, look at binary: one, zero. That's it. Great language. In binary, 0 and 1 aren't words. They're letters. There's technically an infinite number of words, since there's infinite ways to combine 0 and 1. _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours.

I'm trying to determine the robustness of Mando'a by translating various things from English into Mando'a, but the grammar is kicking my sweet tushie. I've been out of school too long. I can't even remember what a terminal vowel is (among other things) . EDIT: Further to this - inspired by Dha Werda Verda, I decided to translate Ka Mate (along with leader commands). My grammar is quite atrocious, and some words I couldn't find and had to repurpose other ones (which is actually in keeping with the Mandos in general), I was able to do it. Ke sushir ti gar shushaie! Ke tsikador! Ke tsikador! Ke gane peti'baar, daab! Oya! Ke nynir gaan gratiir dirycir baar! Ke nynir cetare muun ganar liser! Muun ganar liser! Kyr'am! Kyr'am! Oyacyir! Oyacyir! Kyr'am! Kyr'am! Oyacyir! Oyacyir! Ibik gemas jag Meg jorir ka'ra Ka'gyce dral Solus at laam! Tug'yc at laam! At laam, tug'yc - ka'ra dral! Oya! It does need expanding, of course, but I think it's viable as a language, as is. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Scenes in TCW series for instance usually change to fast for me to read the Aurebesh signs in the back. Most of my knowledge of Huttese comes from the Legacy comic. I don't even try to bother with Mando'a.
