Ta'agra - The Language of the Khajiit

RaZakhar

Hello everyone! We have been sharing The Ta'agra Project with the community for a while now and we thought it would be a good time to post about it here on the official forums too.

For almost two years now we have been working on a massive fan project of developing and expanding Ta'agra, the language of the Khajiit. All throughout the previous games, we collected together all of the available words that could be translated, about 100 total words, and used those as the foundation for the project, examining the sound and structure of the existing language to build off of that. To date we have invested over a thousand hours of work into this project and have made tremendous progress towards putting together a complete and functional language. While not entirely complete yet, we feel there is enough content here to share with the community. We have been excited to see Khajiit roleplayers all throughout ESO, in all three factions, using bits and pieces of our language in their roleplay, and we'd like to share this with the rest of the community too.

As of today, we have over 1700 words with direct translations from English to Ta'agra, and if you include synonyms paired with these words, our translator will process over 3100 words, giving fans and roleplayers an extremely robust system for forming complete sentences and ideas in Ta'agra. We are also working with the community all the time to add new words and further refine the language as we go, and we plan on continuing this project for a long time coming. We have also consulted with several skilled linguists to help us make the language solid and unique, but still easy enough for your average player to learn.

We hope that everyone enjoys this language as much as we have enjoyed creating it and would love to get the community's feedback on our project! The translator, dictionary, grammar guide, and much more can all be found on the Ta'agra Project web site:

We noticed, also, that there is some new Ta'agra content in the game in the TG DLC on the PTS, and we would love to be able to add this new canon Ta'agra to our project (and of course make any changes to accommodate the new content, if necessary). If possible we would love to get transcripts of the Ta'agra words spoken (and sung) as well as translations, if they are available, but we would need assistance from ZOS for that.

This is a bold move, but one I welcome. I'm in the middle of creating my first ever Khajiit build and your site has proved to be very useful and informative. A hearty well done!

We just published a major update to the Ta'agra written script on our project web site! We hope everyone enjoys it and appreciate any feedback that people have.

Does this still exist? the site seems down. If not, does anyone have the word list from there? I could use it.

I seem to reach the site just fine.
