Nearly Dead Languages

>>29057522
I believe Hindi, Portuguese or Russian would be the next step.
Arabic is also a widespread language, but Pokémon games are banned in large parts of the middle east.

Portuguese, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic? Any of the big ones.

they should also get actual Pokémon names in each language instead of just a handful.

>>29057522
Russian or Greek. Although the games may be not popular enough there to justify translating them.

>>29057522

Considering that with those 9, they cover the vast majority of the human race (top 3 most widely spoken languages are Chinese, English, and Spanish) AND the largest part of their market, why would they waste the time and money to target incredibly niche audiences?

Sure, you could tap into Hindi and Russian or Portuguese, but so many people in those markets on top of the fact that the markets are weak comparatively, so why would you bother?

I know. I'm the first one to make that criticism, often. My point was that people would still bitch about the language, hence why I think this is the best idea: >>29058572

>>29059003

I think you can depict Allah, it's Mohammed you can't depict.

I think the whole point is so that Mohammad himself isn't worshipped as a God or anything more than man, like Jesus is in Christianity.

>>29059130
No, Allah is the one that absolutely should not be depicted. He is above Mohammed in that regard, although muslims take depictions of him very seriously as well.

Nobody should really be depicted at all in Islam, but the more important the person is the worse it is to actually do it.

>>29059175

Oh, alright then. Guess that makes sense. Kind of helps explain all the iconoclast Muslims.

>>29058932

>>29059678
Almost all of them have alphabets and written records, Egyptian is the only one that's truly 'guessed' because they didn't write vowels (like Arabic and Hebrew). Others like Mayan and Aztec are still alive, and the rest have living descendants , and through some semantic fuckery they can de-evolve the words and reconstruct older languages.

Nintendo has been translating their games into Dutch lately. Anything with Mario in it or Tomodachi Life is in Dutch now.
But we don't have a nationwide second language and learning English doesn't hurt so that's basically our (unofficial) second language. We're pretty terrible when it comes to speaking English, though.
