latin in runescape?

[leinfo]

so, i have been taking latin as a foreign language in my school, and i have noticed some latin in runescape, example: Canifis(town)

 

 

 

canis-dog(latin)

 

 

 

so, i was wondering, has anybody else found any thing like i have

 

 

 

also, i have heard that miscelania is somewhat latin, correct me if im wrong, but a friend told me that miscillaneous has latin routs, sorry if i am incorrect

 

 

 

but has any body else found anything like i have?

A lot of things in runescape are derived from other languages or just things around earth. I know awhile back someone posted about the barrows brother names. And obsidian is an actual rock if you didn't know. Good find though =p

Most mages in the game are Latin (Zammy mage speaks Latin when he teles you, elemental mages south of Fala speak latin)

ahriman, the evil god in zorostrianism goes to ahrim but that's persian and a religion

 

 

 

Anyway, i have taken latin for 3 yrs and it's not canis which is dog, it comes from canis lupus, the scientific name for wolf. But yeah, that's it not to much of a difference. Latin's an awesome language. Good choice.

thank you :D yea, its pretty great so far, but mostly we sit at a computer using this program called "rosetta stone" ugh it sucks...alot..... they tell u a phrase, then you have to guess the phrase that matches some picture, and the pictures are horrible, like puella(girl) scribbit(write) it had shown a girl wearing glasses and a picture, the worst part of the program, is you have to figure out the definitions on our own, nobody telling us but, anyways, latin rocks!

Various Black Guard soldiers speak Latin in Burthorpe.

cool, i also take latin, 3rd year now. Started in 6th grade and a few months into 8th grade :) . But one thing you should know is 60% of english comes from latin, so yes very easy to find a derivative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing imperfect tense with irregualr verbs atm. (the 2nd imperfect tense already know the first one.. get more and more annoying..)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fatue, pueri!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Translate that.. lol its easy.

[hellbellz]

Isn't Latin an unspeaken language these days? That's what my grandpa always said.. But a lot of words are derived from Latin words. Odd :-k

lol, i started like a eek ago at the change of semesters, but yea, i thought that latin had no helping verbs like : be am is are was were been being do does did have has had may can might could should would will shall must:

[InkofDeath]

latin is what people call a dead language, its called this cause like with english, english gets slang words like pal, sup, and so on, but with latin no slang words or any words are changed in oral or on written work, so basically if a scientist discovers a new cell o something, he'll name it in latin and it'll be translated from latin to french,spanish,italian,english,and nay other language. English is made up from alot of languages and continues to be made up from various and sometimes more languages.

 

 

 

(spelling sucks by the way=/)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think jagex even posted on the main site about using different language words for purposes that may involve the game becoming a bilingual or multilingual language game.

book called "canterbury tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its about a pilgrimage (basicly going to the place relgiously) to a city called "canterbury." I read it was over a year so i dont remember it, also might have helped if i payed attention, it was pretty popular book in like the 1400's when ever it was writen. just check spark notes or something

The spell which stops time in RFD is called 'Tempus Fugit' - time flies

 

 

 

and Latin is still spoken in the Vatican City :wink:

[eggzs]

[AniseCookies]

Latin IV :) I've seen a lot of Latin stuff in RS. But I always forget to write it down. I know just yesterday, I saw something to do with Sanguis, or blood.

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

There's plenty of Latin dotted around RuneScape and the English dialect. Where do you think we got "portal" from? The Latin word "portas", translated as "gate". ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glad you're observant.
