I am clarifying since people like to run around using Google translator and attempting to speak Japanese or throwing out random anime terms. Saying you speak Doman is not saying you read Doman. It is easier to just nip it in the bud then have people continue to spam kawaii desu all over the place.(08-15-2017, 12:26 AM)Rowena Everstone Wrote: There is no Doman language. It is just a different dialect. They don't speak Japanese or anything as such. It is common speak.
Untrue. Doman has its own script (clearly displayed in the game itself in multiple places during Stormblood), and the Doman culture developed on its own for thousands of years before being reintroduced to Western culture only about one generation ago.
It's not directly analogous to Japanese (that would be Hingan), but it's not an identical language to the one that Eorzean Hyur speak.
ETA: The place where the confusion comes in is that many Domans do speak [Eorzean] Hyuran Common. Younger ones (under 25 years) might even have been raised speaking it. That doesn't, however, mean that Doman as an independent language doesn't exist.
