I am a descriptivist linguist for the Mando'a language. I show what it can do, not what it MUST do. This is a place for discussion about Mando'a, and Mandalorian society and culture. Feel free to use the head cannons from this blog (or reblogged from others) in your RP or writing. All words and descriptions are taken from the mandoa.org Mandalorian Dictionary.
Want to support this blog? Buy me a Kofi?? Or buy some Mando'a themed items? Or visit our Discord? Stop bothering me about VRChat avatars. It's a huge invasion of my privacy to keep finding me online.

“Ode At Ni” A Sonnet by Menn Do’a

Bic ibic kyrbej ni akaan Solus ni dar'liser ba'slanar Dar'liser tsikador adol ge'kaan Ogir cuyir naas tengaanar

Nayc eyn eru'e akaan'ade Nayc eyn eru'e verde Ni dar'liser cuyir ner mando'ade Ni dar'liser cuyir gaa'taylir be ibic werd

Eyn eru'e ni dar'liser nyn Par solus parjai ni echoy Ni vercopaanir ner aru'e dar'cuyir atin Ni dar'liser mar'eyir shereshoy

Haar akaan cuyir arasuum'la Ni ori'shya trikar'la

Su'cuy, I Came Crossed Your Post Of The Sims 4 And I Wanted To Know How You Got The Helmet For The ik'aad. I've Looked Everywhere for One But All I Can Find It A Boba Fett Copy. Hope To Here From You. Vor entye, This Is The Way.

The helmet mod I made myself. I made the mod as a copy of the in game Boba Fett helm but I retextured it and made another for children. I had another that was a copy of another mod that was the Sabine Wren helmet from that SW mobile game and made a handful of retextured of that too. I don't even know if I still have the files for it tbh

Yes. Jokes aside, the Mando’a language was made for her books. So it’s pretty based on those books :P even though I haven’t read them myself

Ah - stop, no it's not. It was originally made for a computer game (Star Wars: Republic Commando). Karen Traviss expounded upon the vocabulary presented in the soundtrack of the game.

So a lot of the words are from Karen Traviss but the language was already in the making. The soundtrack lyrics are from Jesse Harlin.

I know this looks weird, since Hard Contact came out before the video game, but the information is from Traviss herself so I chose to believe it.

Yeah, I’m not active anymore and have barely touched Tumblr in months. I might pop in and reply to asks every now and again but I probs wont do proper translations because they take a bit of effort. I’m here for memeing and maybe talking about fictional warrior culture every now and again I guess
