Emperor Harkonnen Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I think I know where the name landsraad comes from. probably norwegian(or another scandinavian language). the reason is that the word would mean "country counsil" in english. (that is if it was written landsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hmmm, Landsraad is dutch from my view. It means council of the country indeed. Land = country, 's' means that 'country' 'owns' something. And raad = council Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 the same in danish ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Thorup, that sounded incredibly cynical.It's Germanic. Leave it at that. (Note Germanic the language group, not German).Council of the countries (= planets, in the imperium). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I see you try to take away my dutch humor :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 actually the germans don't even call themself germans but deutsch, germanic is the people in germany, scandinavia, and some other countries in middle europe if I'm not mistaken.

Timenn Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Yes, I knew that. But it is more that it is not something specefic dutch anymore :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 well vikings conquered some areas in the Netherlands maybe you got from there ;) heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hmm, but as far as I know they didn't bring some language stuff. Mostly it was Germanic. And some French, and English. And also much Greek. And latin, but viking? Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 The Teutons (Vikins et al) were Germanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Yes, that means that the vikings are an offspring of the Germanic tribes. And so are the dutch. It's more that you can call them 'brothers' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Galactic language of "Duniverse" is anglo-slavonic hybrid as described in appendix. So, first half is from english "land" and second from slavonic "rada", what means council or parliament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 Landsraad do mean the same exactly in both languages. only the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 hmm this could go on and on for ever and the anglo-slavonic well the English vocabulary have ancient danish words in it too from back when the vikings conquered england.and Thorup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 lets use the word scandinavian , instead of danish. it was just as many norwegians as danes in england. and yes I said that before, that we used aa before. said it in the first post in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 yes scandinavian will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Like Nema said, let's keep it on Germanic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 You see Timenn, this is the ultimate plot we have to take over the world. Every one has the word and thinks it's his, not noticing the Dutch invluance in all of it.Makes you wonder when they are going to find out all the other things. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
