[Communication help] language speak write Syntax: speakSyntax: write Shattered Kingdoms is the home of many kingdoms, few of which share a common language or system of writing. When you are born into the world you will know only the speech of your homeland. To learn the speech of other countries, you will have to find a teacher to train you in that tongue. When you hear someone speaking in a language which you do not understand, the message will be garbled. Because small words are mastered more quickly than larger words they will be the first to be translated perfectly as your skill at the language increases. Keep in mind that both the person speaking (or writing) and the person listening (or reading) must both have fluency in a language for the words to be translated perfectly. Speak will list all of the languages that you have at least some practice in speaking. Speak will allow you to change the language you are speaking. For example, 'speak taslamaran'. Sometimes you will wish to know what language someone is speaking to you, so that you can switch to that language in which they are fluent. You can tell which language someone is speaking by examining the color of the text at the beginning of a message. The languages are color coded according to the following chart: Empire Tongue Taslamaran Tongue Zhensh Tongue Sylvan Tongue Uxmaln Tongue Aghelian Tongue Deep Tongue Firmyrn Tongue Immortal Tongue Write will list all of the languages that you have at least some practice in writing. To write a note you must be holding a writing instrument of some sort in one hand and a parchment of some sort in your other hand. For example, 'write taslamaran' will allow you to enter the text editor, where you type whatever message you wish to write down. See also: say reply legend2
