Lieber Sphere,

Sie haben sure eine Weise von Sachen oben verwirren, don' t Sie? Mindestens ich verstehe, welches I' m-Schreiben, meistens. Bildet mich Wunder Sure, was ich vor hier wusste. Noch stören Sie noch, Fishbowl.

Keine Liebe,
Wissenschaftler

[ translation: Dear Sphere,

you sure have a way of messing things up, don't you? At least I understand what I'm writing.

No love,
Bookman (apparently his name is Wissenschaftler in german? ROFL)

NOTE: lavi is supposedly quite multi-lingual (nearly 30 languages in my headcanon) so if you're speaking an earth-language and are fine with him understanding you, let me know. he does speak english in the series though :D ]

So, you have also been affected, Rabbit. I can almost understand what you have written... interesting.

Can you understand what I am writing?

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Ich bin beeinflußt worden. Irgendwie verstehe ich, was Sie schreiben.

[ "I've been affected. Somehow I do understand what you're writing." ]

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, I can just about make that out.

This is a very odd event; I cannot work out what the 'rules' are for it. Some people can be understood by everyone, but others are just talking jibberish. [Pen taps] It is most strange.

Der Bereich aß das Wörterbuch.

[ "The Sphere ate the dictionary." It did explain it, didn't it? worked for Rabbit, at least. ]

[burnt_orangesky]

[That made her laugh.]

As reasonable an explanation as any, I suppose.

Es ist meine beste Vermutung. [ "It is my best guess." ]

[ a few pen taps and he decides to write the same thing in another language that he'd seen on the journals this week, just to see what it would do. ]

Мое наилучшее предположение.

[burnt_orangesky]

[And we're ignoring the German, because that's pretty straight-forward...]

I beg your pardon?

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

[ a few more pentaps and rabbit tries another language i wish babelfish had swahili XD ]

당신은 이것을 읽을 수 있는가?

[ Can you read this? ]

[burnt_orangesky]

[ooc: I should decide just how many languages she knows, lolz.]

That looks somewhat familiar... at least one person has written in that language. There have been a great many more who wrote in a language similar to, but distinctly different from, that one.

[A pause as she realizes what he's doing]

Es vos testis mihi, Libri?

["Are you testing me, Bookman?" In Latin |D]

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

[ since babelfish doesn't have latin, pretend this is latin: ]

< latin >"Seeing what ya can understand. Seems we've found something yeah?" < /latin >

[ i dunno how many languages lavi knows but since he's a historian who travels the world, i guess MANY, including dead languages. let's be linguists together! ]

[burnt_orangesky]

[ooc: Here and here are some other translate-y sites that have languages Babel doesn't XD]

Ma compréhension des nombreuses langues semble irrégulière, au mieux. Je serai obligé de prendre des leçons, si cela devait se poursuivre.

["My understanding of the many languages seems spotty at best. I shall have to take lessons, should this continue." French XD]

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

[ omg they have swahili XD ]

Je ne sais pas ce que j'entends pour le moment. S'il semble reconnaissable, alors je pourrais le savoir.

[ "I don't know what I understand yet. If it seems recognizable, then I might know it." ]
