 ===Language===
 I'm curious about whether communications between natives and outsiders without any language [[skills]] turn into purely random gibberish or if there's a discernible, repeatable transformation taking place which can be figured out, like the Al-Bhed "language" in the Final Fantasy game series.

		+	'''Update!'''

		+	An outsider spoke to my native Mamoru today. Neither of us possess any language skills from the skill tree, but I could make out some of what they said:
		+
		+	They said, "Hum, cu yun uheththidu mun? Ing'mun arar Ing du'thi shurar nuhing. Ing ar Thimunnuh. Ar orrshureth."
		+
		+	My thoughts:
		+	*My initial interpretation was: "Hmm, can you understand me?" (something something) "I'm a Scientist. An outsider."
		+	*"Hum, cu yun uheththidu mun?" -- In retrospect, now that I see the "th" pair in "uheththidu", maybe it was "Hey, can you assist me?"
		+	*"Ing" seems to be the pronoun "I"; "Ing'mun" is possibly "I'm".
