    Have a question for David Petersen, creator of languages in Defiance?

    Hey guys,

    David Petersen is going to be our guest on the third episode of Across the Badlands. If you have a question about the languages of Defiance (or want to know something about how they were made!) please leave it here. I'll be asking a couple of your questions when I meet up with him this week.

    What was the inspiration for the written Irathient we see in Irisa's journal? And will we lore nerds ever be able to check out the 198 page long dictionary?

    David, can we expect more creative cussing? WTJ (What the Jek) and Shtako are fine but limited.

    Will he be creating languages for the other voltan races?
    Does he plan on creating or collaborating on a rosetta stone type app for android or iOS tablets/smartphones to teach us these languages? if he doesn't have plans, he better make plans. People would buy this.
    Aside from Trenna Keating, did any of the other actors or actresses have difficulty picking up the languages?
    And aside from Tony Curran, did any of the other actors or actresses pick up the languages quickly and easily?
    How easy or difficult are the languages for the average person to learn?

    Will probably have more later.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    In what ways did language evolve, change over time, with a melting pot of 8 races on earth?

    How nice dahanese - you put this post in and yet you don't address the myriad of bugs and other things plaguing this game. But something we all expect from you coming from rift...

    There's a place to put everything, and bugs go to bug feedback and complaints go to emails, this is not the place to complain. This is for what is upcoming in the livestream, refrain from posting offtopic remarks, especially those offering no constructive value. If it really matter at all to say, he's not a developer that is managing the programming aspect of the game atleast, so this is the wrong person to talk to anyways.
    Thank you, -Slay

    Will any of the Votan languages mix with English to create something similar to the 'Nadsat' used in Anthony Burgess' 'Clockwork Orange'? I was always fascinated with the Russian/German/English mix he used to create new words/phrases. As these new races in Defiance now live together side by side with humans, is it likely that something like this would or indeed does happen?
