    Saka = A mixture of Khotanese Saka/Pashto most likely, but we don't have people proficient enough to create a mixture-language of the two.

    Sauromatae = Iron dialect of Ossetian. Problem is that we haven't found people to write the commands, text etc.

    Pontos = The elite used Greek and Greek is already ingame and assigned to Pontos. (There is also a tablet found in a guardhouse in Amaseia containing guard instructions, all written in Greek).

    Well, yeah, that's my point

    Do the words "EB 1.2 release" mean anything to you?

    Not really, the Alans were closely related to the Sauromatae and whatever scarce Ossetic speaker remnants of them are the closest living language to Skytho-Sarmatian we have, so theretically their ancient language can be reconstructed from it.

    foot and I have done work on an Armenian voicemod. I dont know if he has the Armenian translations of the commands, but I remember he would email me the commands he wanted to be translated, and I would email it back after translation.

    2.- New Punic voicemod:

    Our voicemod translators and actors have performed an enormous feat: to bring you the punic voicemod. An huge amount of work has been put into this feature, which combines the labour of translators, voice actors, coders etc.

    So, I've been reading the EB forums since this summer, and was quite content with not posting anything to the various interesting threads. But I had to register after reading through this one. I've recently starting taking more of an interest in historical Indo-European linguistics, but I'm particularly interested in the development of the Armenian language. I got giddy reading that there would be a Proto-Armenian voicemod, but I'm really curious as to how you're reconstructing the language?

    I understand how the EB team managed for the Germanic voicemod, as there are various daughter languages at your disposal. But the only daughter language of Proto-Armenian I know of is Classical Armenian. So how are you going about reconstructing it, without being able to compare it to anything else?

    Any insight you can shed on that would be much appreciated.
