:If you check out the [[Ancient Laudean Lexicon]], you'll see that "jiu" is the word for "snow", not "man". su'lade is "male" or "man". This may screw up your following argument. ALSO, I was thinking that there could be three levels of language - Modern Laudean, Old Laudean, and Ancient Laudean. There would be a huge gap between the Ancient and the Old (via "dark ages") and so words and meanings get changed. Modern would be much closer to simply Old Laudean. Thoughts? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]], 20 MAR 2006, 16:16 EST | :If you check out the [[Ancient Laudean Lexicon]], you'll see that "jiu" is the word for "snow", not "man". su'lade is "male" or "man".

Well these changes will need to be made to the English to Laudean Dictionary then as I got snow and man mixed up. | |||
I think the Ancient Laudean Lexicon needs to be made clearer on the Ancient Laudean page because I was specifically looking for words and completely missed that link. | |||
Overall, what your talking about is creating three languages instead of one. This is problematic because the three languages would have to be related. It would be more beneficial to have Modern Laudean as that can be used in sim, however, we cannot create all three at once because then they will not show similarities and be unrelated. | |||
It also seems like three times more work than to simply create one language, so personally I'd advocate listing a modern version of the word everytime it is created in the Ancient tongue. | |||
