Inter-Species Interactions

The Game of Empire.

Diana Crowfeather, human, Imhotepan daughter of a Terran and an Atheian, travels to Daedalus where she is visited in her hotel by Shan U, Cynthian, who enquires about her Wodenite companion, Axor. At the time of Shan U's enquiry, Axor is visiting the local priest of his church who is probably human. 

Later, when Diana and her Tigery companion, Targovi, walk through an unterraformed area of Daedalus, some of the odours are:

"...indescribable in Anglic or Torboko."

-CHAPTER FIFTEEN, p. 348.

Targovi, having:

"...acquired a good many tag-ends of human languages other than Anglic..."

-ibid., p. 354 -

- refers to "'...the mise-en-scene.'" (ibid.) Having just googled this French phrase, I realize that I had not known what it meant. In Targovi's time, the phrase must be Fransai. French has become Fransai just as English has become Anglic:

"...in Fransai Jean-Baptiste, in Anglic John the Baptist..."

-Poul Anderson, The Day Of Their Return IN Anderson, Captain Flandry: Defender Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, February 2010), pp. 74-238 AT 9, p. 143.

This post has referred to four intelligent species:

Cynthian

Wodenite

Tigery

- to six planets:

Imhotep

Terra

Atheia

Daedalus

Cynthia

Woden

- and to three languages:

The Eriau-speaking Merseians are not far. Indeed, some are hidden on Daedalus.
