a language mod (proposal)

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

Having discussed this with a member of the Chivalry total war team, and following his suggestion, I have decided to start a thread to deal with a project to further perfect Chivalry total war: namely a more complete voicemod. after much thought, I have decided that some of the factions have the wrong languages attached (conspicuously HRE and England). here are some of the languages that will go into this mini-mod(hopefully):
definitly:
1-old french
2-middle english
3-old high german
4-old spanish

possibly:

old polish and russian.

here are a few commands (early middle english(up to c.1250), southern dialect-still being researched, and may be a bit innacurate)source: http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/lookup.html :

unit names:

knights=knighten (though its better to use old french cevaler(from chanson de roland-the ))

sargeant=??

stop, halt=> stonde(th), stande(th) (lit. stand up)

run=> rinne(th), erne(th)

move, go=> Gath; to banere

fight!=> to fiht ward; toward fiht! (similar in for to : to helle ward)

form line=> ?(not yet found-the only words found so far are 1300 onwards)

taunts:

fie!=> fi on thee(judging from the sources, it was used in a derogatory manner

dogs!=> curren doggen (or just= doggen)

little obvious=> hellehounden!

these words and phrases may seem easy to pronounce, but actually, germans would find this FAR easier to pronounce...why? here:

o=bone a=father i=feet or bit ou=hund in german (but a long u) e= et tu? (in latinor french pronounciation, but at the end of words is a bit like sonne (in german)
u=hund ee=long et. oo=long version of bone y(as a vowel)=feet ae=hat
gh= nicht (again in german)

all letter are pronounced..

Well, looks good so far.

If you'll have finished files (and issue-free tested in your 0.96 version), then let me know that via pm, so we can put it into the dev/internal beta for testing.

You can also provide this work with others together, just make your own voice-team if needed.
Of course full credits will be given to you (and others who work on this) for any implemented work, that makes it into release builds.

I have the vocab for middle english done, and in theory I can just record them. all I need is a better microphone (or stronger lungs, whichever), that way, it doesn't sound like a bunch of ants screaming. also I just got word from a volunteer.

also, since I don't want to crimp your schedule, I propose to perhaps have this done as a mini mod perhaps?

I hope you get this to work. I'd love to see my French Knights charging about yelling 'Montjoie St Denis!' before ploughing into a line of peasants

this is no commentary-its a call to volunteers, something we sorely need. like to help?

Indeed I would. I have no sound recording equipment however...and no knowledge of medieval language . I think I know how to put a soundmod together though, once I have the files themselves.
