cassidy 0 Posted May 20, 2003 on alien planets (by that i mean ) do they have different languages in different areas? because on earth we have, what, 200 or so different languages (its just a guess, probably wrong) so why dont other planets seem to have more than one language?

Stelfan 0 Posted May 20, 2003 I can't seem to remember anything that suggests that others only have one language.. The UT solves that problem.. Could be that they have it like here on earth, most people learn English.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted May 20, 2003 In the ENT episode Civilization Hoshi specifically mentioned there were several languages on the planet. However, in general it has always bothered me that ST planets have a homogenized culture, language, etc. Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans basically the whole planet(s) is(are) unified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelfan 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Most evolved races seem to be very unified.. At least the ones with Warp technology.. But there have been many examples of factions that are rebelling.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted May 20, 2003 I think the UT just makes it appear that there is only one language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelfan 0 Posted May 20, 2003 I think it's great that the UT isn't very evolved in Enterprise, so we can see the language problem too, I think it makes everything a lot more realistic and interesting.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptwright 1 Posted May 20, 2003 im sure theres different languages on the different planets, but between the ut, and the fact that your dealing with a certain part of whatever planet, it seems to only have one language, but im sure thats not the case.

Yillara Skye 1 Posted May 21, 2003 I think it's great that the UT isn't very evolved in Enterprise, so we can see the language problem too, I think it makes everything a lot more realistic and interesting.. I loved when Hoshi was called upon to decipher what the Klingon in Sickbay was saying. It was hilarious when she said what she thought he was saying...I don't remember which episode, it may have been in the pilot, but I remember it being very funny! I believe that there are many languages associated with a particular race, and then of course as many of us learn English...I am sure they have a particular language that they learn so they can better converse with others from their worlds. Then the UT helps out and makes it so they all seem to speak English. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I guess it is a good thing that those cultures are ''unified'' but it still bothers me a bit :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a good question. I hope so! Maybe this far in the future, everywhere has an international language (like English is supposed to be on Earth). I have heard it mentioned that different areas speak in different accents, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
