[quote][b][u]UPDATE: 15TH AUGUST 2015
I have updated the video with NEW translations.
The final [i]two[/i] clips show what the Silent Fang called us.
Will update the dictionary below in due course.[/u][/b][/quote]
[quote]See below for my interpretation of a Fallen Dictionary of sorts.[/quote]
I first posted this over on [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/36nk08/spoiler_how_gives_us_our_first_chance_to/]Reddit[/url], but I figured I'd share my results here!
[b]Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't yet ventured into the story missions. [u]You've been warned![/u][/b]
Spent a good few hours figuring out the phonetics for Skolas' dialogue, and I believe I've translated fairly accurately all of Skolas' words; they might not be perfect, but it's a start! But thanks to Variks, we can now begin to roughly translate Fallen dialogue. I believe he gives us just enough variation on defined words to even begin to interpret generic Fallen mob dialogue, given context clues and the like.
I'm excited to begin to phonetically lay out sentences and match them up to the translations already provided. Perhaps we can discover even more lore as a result, straight from the horse's mouth.

So, what is a vandal really saying when they cry out, "oh shi7...." ???

7 RepliesSo Variks is actually pro House of Wolves??
-
How did you get the language?
-
Whether or not you're right, this thread is awesome! Some people have some really cool ideas.
-
Very cool. I definitely feel like Wolves has far more plot and backstory (at least in the game), than anything we've played in Destiny thus far. Bungie seems to have learned its lesson; we got information about the battle of Twilight Gap, for example, and even if the missions were still just 'go here, kill these dudes', we still got a plot in terms of what Skolas was up to. And the final part of Kell of Kells was pretty awesome.

7 RepliesI've been trying to do something like this recently. However, my theory was that the fallen used to be human, and they were speaking in broken English. I'm glad you started translating, it could help figure out what exactly the fallen are.
-
4 RepliesI have always been curious about how/why the house of wolves would name themselves after an earth mammal. Devils, Winter, Kings, Rain, Iron, and Judgement are all concepts or objects that would reasonably be cross species understandable, but unless fallen had doglike mammals on their previous planet wolves are a weird choice to name your whole house. PS - Due to the fact that fallen refer to their own houses by the names we use, Im assuming they use and made these names and are not just names given to them by guardians. i.e. the vanguard naming that particular house wolves.

I think bungie just stomped on somebody's toe then recorded it, and BAM! Fallen dialogue

This would be great to mess with your friends
