    Default Re: "Quisque est barbarus alio"

    Why choose? You could have
    a. the motto in all the ancient languages that you can manage (latin, greek, celtic, proto-germanic, punic, aramaic etc., assuming as i believe is the case that the EB team has collectively the required knowledge)
    b. alternate loading screens with alternate languages for the motto (this would be cool I think)
    c. animated start-up screen where the latin morphs into greek morphs into lepontic etc. (and for Christmas I want a Ferrari)

    Greek would have been much more universal in 272 BCE. By Ad 14?

    P.S. This isn't Proto-German of course but I found myself thinking 'Jedermann ist jemand Barbarisch' but that sounded more like 'Jederman ist jemand Bayerisch', i.e. Everyone is a Bavarian to Somebody.
