The Protoss Language

This is just a random thought.

While the Starcraft Lore does not say this, I assume the English language (or the language of your installation of Starcraft) of the Starcraft Universe originated from Earth... but the Protoss is probably NOT from Earth... by this logic, I believe English is not the native language for the Protoss.

We already know that certain units, e.g. Dark Templar, utter words that sound extraterrestrial. So they should have their own language.

My point is that perhaps it would be a fun fan-project to design a Protoss language, similar to what linguists did to invent Klingon... it would certainly be a language that can be used for all Starcraft fans to communicate with each other.

En Taro Adun.

I believe it would be a lot more fun to speak zerg rather than protoss.

Seems like it would rival Klingon in being the most anti-poon language of all time.

I'm sure if you just gargle, vomit, and fart, you could at least buy some food from a Zerg restaurant.

ahaha love that video

laugh every time it gets to the overlord part xD

Remember this game is really old (SC)
I wasn't surprised that there already was something up pertaining to the Protoss Language

It'll be only harder to come up with something original and new for BW

Well protoss dont talk, they dont even have mouths. They they communicate through telepathy and apparently can speak to alien races with out problems when they first meet them.

I'm pretty sure only the Overmind, Cerebrates, and Queen of Blades are sapient among the Zerg. And the Overmind + Cerebrates died over the course of SC and BW. There's not much left to have a language.
My strategy is to fork people.
