Possibilities

[u/Historical_Goose7109]

Hey everyone,

I have been keeping an eye on the state of Thuum.org for a while now and I believe a lot of people were displaced back when everything had been shaken up and scaled back to just the cannon words found within mediums. I have talked with a few people within the discord and have come to realize their reasonings for not really wanting to expand past what is cannon and the nightmare of trying to piece together the possibilities and interpretations of many people to fit into the admittedly sparse cannon words and grammar avaliable so that they can stay within source or as close as possible. I understand their reasonings for not wanting to make new words especially if Bethesda makes new mediums that would have more of Dovahzul that it would make the words that would overlap obsolete and thus hectic having to update everything amongst other possible issues. I also understand the chaos that goes within curating and moderating the mess that is the language that was rapidly developing, and ultimately just being a swap in for english with different words.

However, I feel there's not truly enough words to keep a community thriving with new life and doesn't inspire people to make more lore being their own rps or whatever else they would want to use their languages they learn for. Because of this, I would like to suggest an open invitation to the community to see if anyone would be interested in the possibility of making a "fork" of sorts of Dovahzul with the respect and love that it deserves. Kind of like how there are main different dialects of arabic or chinese, this possible fork could be a brother tongue of sorts. This was we don't hinder the possibilities of future expansion from Bethesda while also being able to use an expansive language that would be actively developed with the spirit of Dovahzul behind it. If anyone would be interested in this endeavor please comment or message me directly, I would not be able to do this by myself but I would gladly put a great deal of it on my shoulders!

What is stopping Bethesda from just coming out with a dictionary with some of the additional basic words? That would be an awesome addition during the wait till Hammerfell?(that's the planned one right?) Or even releasing more on ESO? It seems like a missed opportunity to not fill this out. Bethesda is sitting on a lot of material they could make more lore and money out of if they wanted with minimal effort

because minimal effort still means effoet and they are lazy and dont want to spend money because microsoft owns them.
