    Was wondering if there is any facility within Gateworld that deals with the language of the Jaffa and Goa'uld? Any help greatly appreciated.

    I think there was some talk about GateWorld having some kind of Goa'uld words and phrases. Not sure, though. Can't get on GW...

    I know Wikipedia has some. Here's the link:

        Here are a few links to (unofficial) Goa'uld dictionaries:

        http://www.prophet.phlegethon.org/Fi...goauld_dic.htm

        You can also find the Ancient writing system at a wonderful website called Omniglot, they have like every language ever invented (real or fictional):

        Hope that helps any fellow Stargate linguists!

              Wow! Thanks! I've wanted to learn a bit of Ancient for ages! Sad linguistics student.... seems French, German and Dutch aren't enough for me.

                Nice links, thanks! I've been fascinated by language for a long time. I searched for Scots language on the Omniglot site. I was suprised how different I speak Scots compared to the sample paragraph. I couldn't pronounce some words on the first pass. Very interesting.

                  Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

                    I hope there's a book out like the Klingon Dictionary. Maybe a little more comprehensive than the Klingon Dictionary which doesn't have words for something thing you think they should have words for.

                      I just looked at that link and it's pretty cool. I didnt think that they would have that much info on the language.

                        I've also seen goa'uld dictionaries on www.scifigate.net (of course that site seems to be down more than it's up) and www.chevron26.com
