Your fight is over: Yu gonplei ste odon.Translation Examples Main article: Vocabulary Notable Phrases By the time that Bill Cadogan hears it again on Bardo, he can still understand the language, but it has evolved so much that it "sounds so different" to the version that he knew. It is also likely that while in the Second Dawn Bunker, the Sky People also learn Trigedasleng.Ĭallie Cadogan tells Becca Franko that she learned Latin when she was 10 to help create the language. During the six year time skip, many more Sky People learned Trigedasleng, including Nathan Miller, Monty Green, John Murphy, Raven Reyes, and Harper McIntyre. Some of the Sky People, most notably Octavia Blake, Clarke Griffin, Marcus Kane, and Bellamy Blake, began to learn Trigedasleng after repeated contact with the Grounders. Īt the time of the Ark's descent, it is believed that most Grounders speak only Trigedasleng warriors (and certain other Grounders) speak both Trigedasleng and Modern English, a fact which they are careful to hide from their enemies. For instance, "mother" got changed to "number one" which later became " nomon". Its development was also influenced by an early code-system that was developed shortly after the Nuclear Apocalypse.
For example, "get knocked down" is " ge smak daun," which sounds like "get smacked down" and "stop" is " hod op," which sounds similar to "hold up." Trigedasleng is descended from a heavily accented dialect of American English which has evolved rapidly over three generations.
