CoffeeMUD has a dynamic language system. Speaking out loud with the SAY, YELL, WHISPER or any CHANNEL command will result in translation into the current language you are Speaking. You will not see this translation, and it is subject to errors if your proficiency is less than 100%. Others who can speak the same language will receive both the native language and a translation (also subject to a proficiency check).

  • Some languages are animal languages and cannot be learned normally (although you might be able to speak them if you polymorph or shapeshift into that form).
  • Some languages are dialects, and can be understood by others who speak the base language or other dialects of the base language. (Pirate speak is a dialect of common, for example).

If you are speaking in a different language when you write on a blank item, then that item will be written in the language you are speaking, and only understandable by others who speak that language. Items may only be written in a single language, which will be determined by the first language used.
