en cherchant des messages pour la rawathèque, je suis tombé sur celui-ci :
Citation :Q : In the Book of Ti'ana you see that Gehn was taught to speak D'ni, however Atrus knows just little of the language. So how did Gehn and Atrus communicate?
<!--coloro:#000099--><!--/coloro-->R : Anna is the source for both Gehn and Atrus speaking in English. Gehn wasn't merely taught to speak D'ni, he lived in and with the D'ni until he was eight years old, at which time Anna (his mother) and him fled to the surface during the downfall of D'ni. Anna realizing that the language of D'ni isn't going to do Gehn much good on the surface taught him her native language, English. Then Atrus (Gehn's son, Anna's grandson) is born on the surface and is raised by Anna, who first teaches him English (to survive on the surface) and also teaches him D'ni so he knows his heritage and to teach him critical thinking outside of his natural language (kinda like being taught Latin).
So, both Gehn and Atrus knew both D'ni and English. Like most dual language families, they would slip back and forth between D'ni and English in the middle of a conversation, because different languages have different strengths and weaknesses. However, for simplicity in the game, we had them stick to English (or whatever language the game was translated in). <!--colorc-->
