Purpose
The purpose of this project is to create a dictionary or lexicon that
will allow players in Blizzard Software's MMORPG World of Warcraft to
communicate between the different languages that each species uses. It
has become apparent that an official venue for communication will not
become available via Blizzard, so we are on our own in creating this
resource. This is not a hack or against the TOS because you're simply
learning the game. Just like learning a 2nd language. As long as you
don't use a file to do this then you should be fine. I love to just yell
to some horde about to gank me "L A t t f" which translates to N I G G A
but you can get banned if reported for that.
Languages
Our first focus will be on two main languages, mainly:
* Alliance Common ( Common)
* Horde Common ( Orcish)
There are also the following sub languages:
* Dwarven
* Gnomish
* Darnassian
* Troll
* Taurahe
* Gutterspeak
Please visit the Language Annex for a list of all of the languages and
the races that speak them.
