|quote=The Roshterian tongue is truly a marvel to behold, an infinite trove of jewels for the student of languages ... While its words and affixes display some affinity to our own language, they are even more akin to the languages of the Nurians and of the Tíogall, indeed to such a degree that its Talmic provenance cannot be doubted. Curiously, the Roshterian speech in particular is pronounced with consonants with tongue-curling not unlike those of the Gulyasj language ... | |quote=The Roshterian tongue is truly a marvel to behold, an infinite trove of jewels for the student of languages ... While its words and affixes display some affinity to our own language, they are even more akin to the languages of the Nurians and of the Tíogall, indeed to such a degree that its Talmic provenance cannot be doubted. Curiously, the Roshterian speech in particular is pronounced with consonants with tongue-curling not unlike those of the Gulyasj language ... noit has a proclivity towards using lengthy words for single utterances where a multitude of smaller words and prefixes combine in a quite volatile manner, reminding one of the language of Old Tíogall texts ... In my view the language is proper for further study, for surely it will yield a great wealth of information concerning the common forebear of Talmic languages. | ||
