I can tell you with confidence that linguistic science also takes that disparity into account. Weapon types are bad enough but it gets really funky when you translate mythological creatures when there is no cultural / language reference to that kind of pantheon or races. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The answer to all of these questions is: alternate universe. There is no Navezgane County in our version of Arizona, hence this is not our universe. In this alternate universe, Navezgane exists, AK-47s are plentiful, Kukri's are called Machetes, and Grandpas can shoot AR-15s during WW2... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wth are you even going on about? I thought I would add a final comment before I unfollow this thread ....I am not going on about anything, I am an old man who should have learned that today's generation knows it all and doesn't need my voice. So as you all know from the alternate universe that this is reality I will leave you to it. 1 hour ago, Kyonshi said: "As far as i know" Thank you I did not get that, but then today's shorthand is different then the one I grew up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, I watched a video somewhat recently I think it was on TikTok where someone pronounced all the Egyptian deities in actual ancient Egyptian, opposite of their Greek names. It happens in Paleontology all the time. My most recent experience with something like this was learning Quechua (Incan tribal language) from someone who knew zero English, but also spoke Spanish. I had to translate the words in my head from English to Spanish, so he could translate it from Spanish to Quechua and then back again. I had to add in Youtube sessions to even out my practical understanding, and even then the accents were somewhat different because of regional variances. It was a fun but also frustrating exercise. TOTALLY reinforcing how bad humans are at language. At least in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries, there were concerted efforts to standardize a national language. Don't get me started on Gen Z's internet coded language, or my experiences with Bostonians and most New Englanders in general. lol, but.. thats just MY damage.
