Like you know Holy Roman Empire would speak Italian, Portugal spoke Portugese etc etc. Personally I've never played MTW but I doubt it was that way in the game. lol I wonder what the Aztecs would sound like.

Wouldn't it be cool if all the factions spoke their respective languages?

Yes, that would add alot to the athmosphere. I doubt it will be in the game though as it would take the dev team alot of time. I hope they make it possible by mods.

Italian was spoke by some nobles in the HRE, but most of it's speakers would speak German.

That would be really cool. You could pick up a few words in various languages.

A few danish commands for those modders: Hold linjen!, Lĉg an, fyr!!, Angrib!, Trĉk jer tilbage, Til muren!.. etc..
Use your imagination
In MTW, the Muslim faction units spoke Arabic, the Eastern European ones spoke Russian, and the Western European factions spoke Latin.

Of course it should... and I don't think it is difficult because many games have done it before (such as Age of Empire 2).

It shouldn't be so hard to do this time (compared to RTW), since most modern languages are fairly similar to early ones. The only problem is that the languages did change, even if they are still understandable...e.g. English is totally different (in terms of pronunciation, lexis and orthography, not really grammar and structure I guess) in 1530 from 1080. I guess they could if they wanted to deliever the whole package do different language sets that change at set dates.....but I can't see that happening.

Doubt CA will implement this, but the pre game speeches held in the original languages of the medieval time whould be great. Could be added as an option for those who crave a more realistic feel to the game. Might not sell too many more games for CA and whould reqire hiring a lot of linguists, CA are, after all a capitalist corporation. the best to hope for is however latin for the Europeans, arabic for the Moslems etc, or the danes speaking modern danish, the french modern french and so on. Well there is still hope, there are lots of great modders out there with a real thirst for realism.

they would?Like you know Holy Roman Empire would speak Italian
This isn't the crisis!
Funny, I always thought they spoke Greek. It didint sound like Russian to me though maybe that was cuse it was so hard to hear. :original:The byzantines spoke Russian?

Well I doubt that CA will include this, but it's a great idea anyway, so here some commands in german(for the Holy Roman Empire):
Attack!: Angriff! / Los, Angriff! / Stürmt an!
Hold the Line!: Haltet die Linie! / Haltet die Stellung! / Bleibt standhaft!
Pull Back!: Rückzug! Verlasst eure Stellung! Bringt euch in Sicherheit!
Just those I can think of right now, maybe I'll add some more in the future. I KNOW they DIDN'T speak modern day german and maybe I'll find some sources so these will be more accurate sometimes, but for now I think it's enough.

medieval officers\nobles = french
medieval clergy = latin

Holy crap (no pun intended) so the Holy Roman Empire actually spoke German? I'm surprised I dind't know that. Well I guess that leaves Venice and Milan to speak Italian (lol right?). Actually though this was before Dante then all the different Italian city states spoke a completely different version of the Italian dialect, unlike countries like Britain, Germany or France, Italy had more than a dozen completely different versions of Italian, it wasn't until Italy was united that it was decided that they needed one form of official Italian dialect so they chose Dante Alighieri's Italian because he wrote la Divina Commedia and therefore that was the most popular form of Italian and became the one spoken today. I think it was the florentine dialect if I'm not mistaken lol. Could you just imagine though, a whole peninsula where they can't understand each other? lol

It may seen cool for a while, but it can get pretty annoying. When I click on the units, I want they to say 'yes' and 'attack!' in a language I can understand, not some crazy foreign language. If they did this, it will pretty much get rid if the whole point of a prebattle speech.

Even German there were Highland German and Lowland German in Medieval. For Milan should be Latin or Italian, but for Venice I am not sure. For England (sorry, there was no Britain in Medieval time) the people spoke English, for France surely they spoke French (but not sure for South France). For Byzamtine... I think should be Greek or Latin, but the North part of Byzamtiun I'm not sure... may be Russian? For Spain... also not sure, because Spanish sounds like Latin... About the Muslim countries... I don't know what was Moor speaking, but I heard they had their own language... For Egyptian should be Arabic or Egytian... But I 'm not sure for Middle East (Damacus and so on...). For Turk there were different Turkish language too.

It would be cool if the English spoke Middle English, the Scottish spoke Scots Gaelic, and the Welsh (which I hope will be there) spoke Welsh.
Of course, you could run into AOE III style problems, and have them saying things that make little sense, voiced by non-speakers from the Southern US.
I am in complete disagreement with that. Complete disagreement. I would prefer the real words. Besides, it's pretty much implied what they're saying anyway. Not everyone would prefer modern English all the time.It may seen cool for a while, but it can get pretty annoying.
