I probably shouldn't comment on this, but said TNG character was originally going to have two or three pairs of breasts.
Tsolyani sounds cool. Mayan rules. Not that I know anything about it of substance.
I consider myself linguistically inclined, but I don't know much so far. Maybe I'm not as interested as I think I am.
I'm interested in Native American languages, but pretty much just the most major ones, like Cherokee, Maya, Nahuatl, Quechua, Aymara, and Guarani. Of those, the one I'm least interested in is Cherokee because it seems more difficult/ different from European languages.
European languages I'm linguistically interested in: Faroese, Sami, Karelian, Basque, Romansh. As for dialects, Stavangersk and Gutnish.
African languages if I ever get around to it, I think I'll stick with Swahili.
Asian languages the one I'd try first would be Vietnamese because it would be easier to learn to read, and Korean would be good because I like its writing system.
I love mauling languages.Comment

The only knowledge of Star Trek I have is of the original series which I watched avidly as a child in the 70s.

The sample of "nice Norwegian" in my post above is Stavangersk, or pretty close to it anyway.

Are you talking about Maria Insert-this?Originally posted by molly bloom
Mmm, Greek via Norf London, judging by her accent.
I think she was lashed across a naked breast in the remake of 'The Wicked Lady' with Faye Dunaway.
