Subject:
Language accuracy
So I've always wondered in Age of empires 1 and 2 what the heck people were saying (like when you comand a unit)
Then in age of empires 3 most of the languages were up to date. I speak spanish, swiss(interchangable with german), english and, chinese (Mandarin) so I noticed those Civ where acually speaking the langauge correctly (well execpt the british they still speak funny).
What i'm getting at is does anyone speak turkish or japanese or anything else, and are they speaking correctly or did the designers just have them speaking, jiberish.

Re: Language accuracy
as far as I can tell, their Russian is correct. In age of empires two I know the Teutons are speaking either East Germanic (AKA Gothic) or West Germanic. I also know that the Celts are speaking Cornish or Manx, the Byzantines are speaking Medieval Greek, and I know for a fact that the Persians are speaking old Persian.

well first we should probs figure out what language the iros are supposed to speaking, as theres a lot of somewhat different langauges spoken by 6 tribes that joined the confederation. i think we can rule out the tuscarrora(sp?) tho because they joined late.
