Translated Sangheili dictionary?

I found this on the interwebz. It's supposedly a dictionary with many Sangheili words and phrases translated into English. I'm not currently aware of it's source an it is most likely conjecture. But I still felt it might have some form of validity and be worth sharing. So what do you think of it?--Brute Honour Guard ("Talk") 00:43, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
- I really don't know what to think about this right now. Most likely it is fake. I just don't know.--ハローファン (H1234-NET) 00:47, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
- It appears to be fan made. No sources are cited, ie; Combat Evolved, Reach, Ghosts of Onyx which all have true Sanghelian spoken but without any translation - where for example do they come up with "Jinohag" meaning "to wear", or "Gro'gragort" meaning "enemy"? If indications are to be believed, Sanghelian is modelled on Forerunner, which was an entirely contextual language - one word may mean dozens of things depending on what precedes it or comes after, placement in the sentence, modifiers, etc. It looks like a cool glossary, and I'd definitely recommend it for fanon works, but it's definitely not canon.-- Specops306 Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek 03:31, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
Sangheili language?
Came across this tidbit on a Reddit r/halo post: "Bungie said in one of their podcasts that they were working with some people at a language college to develop a language for them. Of course there's the occasional English, but for the most part they spoke their own language." It seems to be used in this Halo 4 terminal video. So perhaps the Sangheili will have a proper conlang, at least! Neme 'Zusatee 21:23, 9 October 2012 (EDT)
- Attempts are being made to get some translations here:https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst128404_Finding-out-the-Elite-Language.aspx
- Also, I notice a lot of the words from glasslands are noted on the page. 22:31, 7 November 2012 (EST)
