speaking ancient??

[kernl sandrs]

Ok so we all now know how to use ancient in MS-word, but how about speaking it? Surely after so many episodes someone has come up with a way to verbally express these characters? Can someone provide me with some means to correctly pronounce these characters?

Who are you going to talk ancient with? You can just make stuff up cos nobody will know what you are on about anyway.

Every ancient word written in the series can be translated directly into English substituting specific symbols for specific letters (1 to 1 comparison).

They're endless Easter eggs. If I remember right, the front of the Jumper says "do not enter the stargate while cloaked" (I read this on these forums, didn't try it for myself)

Since the words don't match with the story, there isn't a way of actually pronouncing them... maybe.

Well Klingon from star trek has become pretty well known for being spoken amongst hard core fans

A word on the side of the life signs detector says "dude".

seeing as english is based on a latin alphabet, and ancient is ther root of the latin language we can assume they are similar alphabets. makes you wonder whether the ancients also had to change word endings for different person and mood, also wether they were esactely similar.....

oh i study latin so i might be able to come up with a few things to post later.
