    Summary

    This is the various conlang dialogue I translated for Netflix's The Witcher. The language featured in the show, Hen Linge (also referred to as the Elder Speech), is based on words and phrases that can be found in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher book series. Almost all of his material was incorporated, though there were a few inconsistencies that needed to be ironed out. And, of course, where new material was needed, I created it. Sapkowski's original conception for the language featured many words from existing natlangs, albeit altered. Where I created new words, they were a priori.

    This now also includes the Roozh Linge dialogue from The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Roozh Linge is an aposteriori language Jessie Peterson and I created together.

    Summary

    The Guardian Stalker’s beam scorches his flesh and shatters his collarbone. It carves its way through his sternum and boils his blood and tries to stop his heart. Link lands in an undignified heap in the wet grass. He knows, in this moment, he must be dead. He’s been hollowed out and torn apart, and there must be nothing left. But if he’s dead, why is she still screaming? He must save her. It’s his duty. She’s the only person he has left in this world. Using his last ounces of strength, he wraps his burned, broken fingers around the hilt of his sword and lunges in her direction—
    He remembers that night, when his lungs stopped working, when he tried and tried and still failed to save her.
    ---
    Link wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection. Everything falls apart from there.
