Language help

[brainofck]

I need some help with foreign language dialog for Skeletal Remains.



I want their baby to be speaking baby talk in many languages. Like how in English babies say "ba" when they mean ball, or bottle, or bye, depending on the baby. That kind of thing.

I'm thinking Daniel would enjoy playing around with languages at least two of the adults spoke, so that would be Ancient, Spanish, English (obviously), Arabic, possibly French, possibly Abydonian/Egyptian/goa'uld. And Chinese, since that is the language source for the local language Daniel is studying.

Anybody know Latin well enough to suggest something in "Ancient?" Or Spanish? Or Chinese? Any suggestions welcomed. I already have a wonderful person who has volunteered to research some Arabic ideas for me.

And if you have your own ideas about other languages I haven't mentioned, toss 'em out. Maybe I'll go that route after all, if I get something good.



Oi. Doing research for porn.

The Latin is "mater" and "pater," though, so I'd think it'd be "mati" and "pati" if you're going to go that direction. [ponder] Although if you shorten it even more it's still "ma" and "pa" so that works. [nod]
