Long story short: I am the author of the original First Tongue Dictionary posted on the old White Wolf Forums. If you want to see the archived versions of versions 1.0 and 2.0 of that dictionary:
Collected Compendium Courtesy of Litheon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...-844XrYK7kfePo
And here is a handy spreadsheet made by our very own nikink that provides Grimmified Sumerian to create words from: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...HjcEkfi-rspTyE
I will be resurrecting and posting the newest dictionary here. Please post any requests below for translations so that I can add them to the dictionary. You may also post translation requests for your game.
Things I am currently working on:
- The building part wordlist
- All the derangements
- Some more Mage vocab
- The S-homonyms
- The individual wordlists for WAtP shapeshifter cultures
- The spices wordlist
- The gemstone wordlist I had picked out (which I now need to find again)
- Compling canon words
- The names of the Changing Breeds in First Tongue
- Names for generations for The Young Man In the Cafe
