Since your last turn:

• Kara Nimi said "*Clears her throat and shuffles some papers* Ahem." (13 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Good evening ladies, gentlemen, teachers and students of the MCM, and any others. Since I and some of my brethren are enjoying a stay here, I would like to take this opportunity to present a lecture." (13 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "The topic of zombie language may have been covered before, so for those who have already studied this quirk of Malton's culture, please consider this a refresher. For those who are new to the idea, listen well. You will find it quite helpful." (13 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Communication is a necessary and vital skill in all walks of life, but since the apocalypse we have seen some peculiarities in the change of language in Malton. The ?rise of the zombies has also given rise to alternative methods of communication..." (13 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...as well as the addition of many new terms to our everyday language. However, the most bizarre change (from a linguistic perspective) is undoubtedly the creation of zombie languages. I'm sure anyone who's spent time as one of the walking dead..." (12 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...will have noticed the strange sounds that take the place of English in this state. While 'young' zombies - that is, those who have not spent much time undead - do not use these sounds very efficiently..." (12 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...it seems that zombies are in fact capable of learning to master these sounds and form a rudimentary style of communication. The most common of these styles has been named 'Zamgrh', in reference its common ‘phones’, or sounds." (12 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Due to their altered state, zombies are physically incapable of the range of sounds found in human languages, and are restricted to the following sounds: the consonants ‘b’,’g’,‘z’, ‘m’, ‘n’, and ‘r’, and the vowels ‘a’ and ��" (12 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "As memory of the English language must remain – indeed, zombies have proven perfectly capable of understanding humans – these sounds are used to phonetically render some English words. That is, they try to mimic the sounds of English..." (11 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...(and sometimes other languages) with their limited phonetic capability. For example, you may hear a Zamgrh-fluent zombie refer to itself as ‘’mah zambah’’. This literally means ‘’My zombie’’, and serves as a substitute for the first-per" (11 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "In this fashion, a zombie can attempt to convey simple concepts to humans. Obviously, the more complicated the message, the more difficult it is to render it into Zamgrh, but a clever zombie can piece together simple words to make itself understood." (11 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "The difficulty lies in finding a clever human to decipher its words. Some words are very similar to their English equivalents and are easier to guess, including ‘zambah(z)’ – zombie(s), ‘harman(z)’ – human(s), ‘z!ng’ – sing, and ‘zahnz" (11 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Some are less clear, such as ‘barg’ – eat or ‘habganna’ – want. Thankfully Malton’s linguists have already done the heavy lifting and there is a zombie lexicon available, which I urge you to take a look at here: http://tinyurl.com/zamgrhL1" (11 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "So, now you know about Zamgrh, and can learn to speak it. What do you do with this knowledge? Surely these creatures have no interest in idle conversation when there are BRA!NZ to be eaten?" (10 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "This may be true of many zombies, but just like the diversity of humans in Malton, so too will you find zombies of many different personalities. A few greetings in a commonly-spoken language, and you may just find..." (10 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...that your uninvited guest is suddenly more interested in interacting with you in a less violent manner. It may seem implausible, but I have seen it happen. In one such case, there was a rather pleasant zombie that resided in the Quartly Library." (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "It grew so adept at Zamgrh that it once narrated several excerpts from ‘Harrah Rotter’. Needless to say, it would not have had the experience necessary to translate the book had it not practiced through the constant communication with the librarians." (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Other examples of beneficial reactions to this mutually intelligible language are evidenced by the translation of many popular songs into Zamgrh. In fact, the verb ‘z!nging’ lends itself so well to the zombie language that there has been..." (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...a sort of trend in Zamgrh music and accompanying dance routines. While it is true that zombie dance parties often end in bloodshed, it is still preferable to be given a show before dinner. After all, it’s not like death isn’t fixable these days." (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Some of these song translations have also been recorded and can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/zamgrhL2" (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "To conclude this lecture, I would like to note again the paramount importance of communication. While maybe no longer a matter of life or death, it can make all the difference in how often you find yourself transitioning from one side to the other," (9 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "...and it is how we spend this time that will define us and our changed city. Thank you for your attention. I am available for questions here or through the Philosophe Knights post system: http://philosopheknights.org" (8 minutes ago)
• Kara Nimi said "Praise Knowledge!" (8 minutes ago)
