PART D
LANGUAGES
In the book Reign of Rulers, the idea of creating a story using medieval story mixed with science fiction seemed like a really bad idea, but after reading the Lord of the Rings I fell in love with the story and wanted to write a story about some of the evil characters including the Witch-King of Angmar, the Nazgul, Sauron, and the Mouth of Sauron. After deep research about the Lord of the Rings, I was able to develop a long story. While writing I usually like to put foreign languages into my writings to give the reader a better understanding to the technique of the story. These writings include Minbari, Vorlon, Shadow, and Black Speech.
Minbari--The Minbar language is possibly one of the most difficult to read do to it's light print, for Minbari don't believe in dark letters, and in general don't even like to write their own language, they prefer to write in English, but the Grey Council and Warrior Caste uphold the language and writing it is much more difficult! In general, Minbari language is all backwards, they have no punctuation and no word for 'goodbye', for to say goodbye would to lie, and Minbari don't believe in lying, for the average religious Minbari believes they will all meet one another sometime in the future.
Vorlon--The Vorlon's are the forth race to develop a written language, their language is one of the easies to decipher for all the Vorlon language is just curves and dots. The Vorlon language has never been translated into English or any other language for it breaks all customs, even the ships and encoded in Vorlon text.
Shadow--The Shadow language is one of the most cursed languages, only a few can read it. If you try to speak the language the words can put you under a hypnosis. Below is the alphabet in Shadow, the Language is used by the Drakh, Liberator's and Shadow's. The Liberator's were the ones who created the language to terrify its enemy, if you want to try speaking the language all you have to do is stress your vocal cords as high as you can go, and whisper the letters silently, but with using your teeth and lips, not your tongue (Tongue creates to much vibration and a too deep). If the speech sends you to the hospital or causes any sharp pain then you've spoken Shadow.
Black Speech--The language on Mordor(Khazad'dum) is a language that if spoken will infect you with Black Breath. There are three types of Black Speech writing styles, but the language style is difficult to translate from English to Black Speech unless if you had a long time to study it. As we know the following letter appear in the English writing, they include sh, d, r, b, th, k, m, p, t, l, k, gh, z, g, n, h, s, f, and kh. Black Speech does not include the following letters, c, j, v, w, and x. Below is the language of Black Speech, or also called Tengwar:
