Pygmy (language)

Last wiki revision 2018-09-13

Pygmy is the presumed main language of the pygmies.

There was once a great leader of the pygmies whose name translates as "Dark Tan Helmet". The titan symbols covering the Ornate Tablet Fragments are noted to be far too elaborate for pygmy scrawl.

  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • say = Said by the Pygmy Witchdoctor
  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • say = Said by Yngwie
  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • Oomlot = Pygmy tribe on the Lost Isles. Also the name of their home village.
  • Oostan = Pygmy village on the Lost Isles
  • Nord = Northern subregion of Oostan
  • Ost = Eastern subregion of Oostan
  • Sor = Southern subregion of Oostan
  • Skarf = Hyena mount of Sultan Oogah
  • yell = Said by Yngwie
  • Volcanoth = Fire turtle worshipped as a god by the pygmies

The pygmy language may or may not be related to the goblin language, given that goblins and pygmies are said to share an unknown common ancestor.

  • "Gobin" = "Goblin"
  • Aside from the obvious similarities of the two words (the pygmy word only lacking a single "l"), Yngwie says say when aggroed by goblin players, and many of the phrases he yell out seem to be orders to kill, capture and/or sacrifice the captured inhabitants of the Town-In-A-Box.
  • Nord = "North"
  • Ost = "East"
  • Sor = "South"
