Has a language been created yet?

Postby cutienerdgrrl77 » Wed Mar 25, 2009 1:42 pm

You know how the Lord of the Rings fans have done with Elvish, and the Trekkies have done with Klingon.

Has anybody done Cybertronian yet?

Thank you, Name Violation.

I had found the Autobot & Decepticon, but the Maximal & Predicon are new to me. Are they from Dino & Beast? Because I never followed those.

My main question was whether somebody had developed a spoken language yet.

I highly doubt it. The only time we've heard Cybertronian was during the Bay Movies, and those sounds were far too complex to be mimicked by normal humans.

Oh har-har, Name_Violation! :D

Actually, I think my cat said that to me this morning when I kicked him out of bed when I shut the bedroom door before going to work (no kitties in the bedroom when I'm not home).

N_V, wow. You are a font of pure awesome. I tremble with respect.

As for the 'spoken' version, well, I don't want to sound like the complete freakin' geek that I am, but....

A spoken version meaning solely 'audible' would be kind of limited. I like to think our robot friends are a bit more advanced than we are. Think of this--I can sit here yelling my freakin' head off, in my upstairs office, and you can't hear me. (I kind of hope my neighbors can't either). Impractical dealing with range and the fact that large military coordinations would require instantaneous (or close as possible) information over a large and very noisy field.

Anyone who's dealt with a radio in human combat can tell you how much that sucks. In fact, the first thing you learn in the military is the alphabet--alpha bravo charlie delta....etc, because you can't rely on your ears that well. Same thing with numbers. Five is 'five' but nine becomes 'niner', because in combat, confusing the two numbers means someone's dead. And we still deal with pretty small-scale operations (as opposed to the TFs' sometimes planet-sized missions). We still have time lag because of our audio equipment.

Digital signal travels better and faster. As your little texting device probably tells you. It's also more discreet (no one yelling out something through your walkie that gives away your position).

While you've GOT a digital signal, though, why stick with just audio? Why not have a 'visual' or some other component come along with the information? It's hard to imagine, because we're stuck with our little human imaginations, but why not be able to send sound, image, and even other 'non-audible' information along the same signal, just like your satellite dish TV?

Add to that that word communication is hopelessly open to misinterpretation. Even if someone understands your words, they can misread your intent. That's why we have all of these emoticons for internet communications. Even in face-to-face, according to an FBI study, MOST of how we take a message has nothing to do with the words used. It's all about tone of voice and body language. That's how us little close-living primates were raised. (Generously, I think 25% of what we understand from a spoken communication is the words themselves). Why would our robot friends who did not grow up picking lice off each other stick themselves to the same limitations? From two galaxies away, how do I make sure Megatron knows that that was a joke?

If I were to imagine a Cybertronian language (and N_V knows I have) I'd imagine those noise 'bursts' were encodings a bundle of different information. Way too fast for us to hear or reproduce. Way to complex for our primitive vocal cords to manage.

HK, I've thought about this WAY too much. I shall go beat myself for my hopeless geekitude.
