I want to hear some turian language words in ME3! Kinda like the quarian "Keelah se'lai". Just a word here and there of what the actual turian native tongue sounds like would make me a happy.

edit: top again!  I seem to have a knack for this lately. lol

I wonder why words like 'keelah se'lai' and 'siha' and such don't get translated through the translator but other species colloquialisms related to religion and the like, such as 'By the Goddess' and 'By the Spirits' do.

EDIT: Stupid quote tag messing up. D<

Brandon Keener Garrus could say anything in any language, I'm sure I would love it. 

DAT VOICE!

Agreed 100%.

I find it funny how all the alien words we've heard so far sound really nice and melodic in our tongue. I'd love to hear some asari or salarian word that sounds like 'glorglegorf' or something really... not pretty.

[kglaser]

Aris, that's an excellent question...I do remember Shepard saying something like "My translator must be glitchy" or something when Thane called her Siha. Maybe for some words there is no proper translation outside the original language?

Like Qwib Qwib?

Aww, Qwib Qwib is cute. xD Besides, it's apparently a reference.

I mean something that really sounds unpleasing to the human ear, preferrably from a race like asari where most of their words are soft and flowy-sounding or salarians where they have some harsher tones in their names and such but are still fairly melodic. Something that goes against the 'soft, pretty species have soft pretty words' formula. And unlike 'Qwib Qwib' it's a totally legitimate word.

So something that sounds kinda Klingon-y, perhaps?

Independent mandibles

Not 100% sure, but I think we can actually see this in Garrus's loyalty mission. Look at 2:30. Looks like it. 

Lips and kissing

There's definitely some motion in his "lips" when he speaks in the game(s). On the other hand, the "material" looks just like the brow-plates and the mandibles. So one guess is as good as another. I prefer to think the face is entirely covered by carapace. It's not as romantic as "less pliable lips" but seems more logical.

Purring

I imagine you could definitely feel the vibrations from a turian voice through touching. I also like the idea of turians humming or growling in low tones. But "purring" has all the wrong connotations for me. I associate it with cats, pets, furry little things, animals I need to feed and take care of. Not with a big strong turian.

Question

Which is correct: Garrus' or Garrus's?

Yeah, I suppose. It seems to be a rule of thumb that 'tough' races like Klingons, Krogan, Orcs and Darkspawn all use words that are hard and gutteral, whereas elves and such use softer sounds with lots of 'L's and the like. But it seems weird to me. An entire language developed over millenia has to have at least a couple of words in it that don't use only the handful of letters and noises that 'sound right' for their species.

Then again, I don't know a lot about linguistics, so it could make perfect sense and I just don't get it.

@AnimaTempli101: What that made me think of.

low growl/humming  might explain it better then purring. I wasnt refering specifically at cats (i dont think he makes any animal noice ). Just something raspy that goes with his voice

Pretty sure it's Garrus's.


I don't like the idea that they "purr" because I've heard that concept in fanfic is lifted from werewolf fiction and that makes me think of Twilight

My personal opinion is that it's not a "purr", per se, but that that's the closest humans can come to describing the noise/vibration. I envision it as something wholly alien, for which "purring" is the closest description.

[Twilight_Princess]

I think of predator style clicking when I think of turians making a noise to show they are content.

[kglaser]

D'AWWWW!

[ThatDancingTurian]

Awwwwww! That right there, what we need in-game.

I support turian clicking, that sounds interesting.

[kglaser]

The idea of clicking, while appropriately alien, creeps me out, and I'll tell you why: It's because of some of my previous exposures to sci-fi aliens:
--The aliens from one of my favorite ST:TNG episodes. Schisms spoke in clicks. This stands as my personal creepiest TNG ep ever.
--The aliens from The Arrival, a PC game I have based on the movie of the same name, also spoke in clicks. (They were NOT friendly.)
--IIRC, the aliens in "Fire in the Sky" also communicated in clicks. I can't verify this, because the relevant scene in the movie, which I'd have to watch on YouTube to verify, terrified me so much that I had nightmares for 6 months, so I can't rewatch it to find out...but I seem to recall they were clicky, too.

So, I can't support clicking. LOL XD
