The Waldenian Dialect

 

Guide:

The ‘th’ replacement is interchangeable with a ‘z’ sound or a ‘d’ sound. It depends on the person, most Waldenian peoples prefer the ‘z’ or ‘zh’ sound. As for the suffixes of words, ones that end with a ‘d’, will usually be replaced with the much harder sound of a ‘t’. Consonants like these are typically made much harsher by a native Waldenian speaker.

 
Sound Transformations:
w -> v or vh
th -> z or zh
tr -> tw
sh -> sch

Keep in mind that this is a fantasy language and I want to be original whilst also using the dialect most Waldenian players already use. Only some words will be derived from the German language, some taking inspiration from the germanic language family as a whole.

      How do we get there? How did you get here, by the way?' [Will asked].
      He heard Halt's deep sigh and knew he'd done it again.
       
      'Do you ever,' the older Ranger said with great deliberation, 'manage to ask just one question at a time? Or does it always have to be multiple choice with you?'
       
      Will looked at him in surprise. 'Do I do that?' he asked. 'Are you sure?'
       
      Halt said nothing. He raised his hands in a 'See what I mean?' gesture...
       
      'Halt,' [Selethen said], 'I could be wrong, but I think you were just guilty of the same fault. I'm sure I heard you ask two questions just then.'
      'Thank you for pointing that out, Lord Selethen,' Halt said with icy formality.
