Reman General/Ship Name Dictionary?

cmdrwhitneycmdrwhitney Member Posts: 48 Arc User
in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Does anyone here know a good source on the Reman language and words, if there even IS one? (Yeah, yeah, extremely complex language with pictographs, etc., I know.) I suspect that this particular language doesn't get a lot of love from the fans or the community, but other than a random name generator (which doesn't help, I'm looking for specific words), I don't have any other ideas on this. Maybe it doesn't exist, but I just thought I'd ask.

    I'm pretty sure that they speak the same language as the Romulans. I personally use this dictionary when naming my Reman and Romulan ships:
    rihan.org/drupal/dictionary/a

    I agree with the post above, given the limited information we have (canon-non canon) it can be reasonably assumed they speak the same language, or at the very least, speak a similar sounding language, something like French and Haitian Creole.

    Funny. As I see, they don't have words for the most common body parts? (if you know what I mean...) Poor them.

    The dictionary isn't complete. Most of the terms on there I believe are non-canon guesses as to how the Romulan language should work. If I'm not mistaken, Romulan is based (at least somewhat) on Latin. If the word you're looking for isn't on there, just look up what it is in Latin.

    Edit: Also, I don't know what you mean. A quick search and I was able to find head, shoulder, body, torso, arm, leg, finger, toe, knee, hand, and foot. So basic body parts are there. Unless you were planning on naming something after a lewd body part, in which case, I'm glad you couldn't find what you were looking for.

    There's little enough canon on Romulan, I don't think there's ANY on Reman.

    Considering that, canonically, Remans are just sorry cannon fodder goblins for the film that killed Star Trek for a long time it's no surprise there's no thought into a culture or language for them. The time people did something like invent Klingon are long gone.​​

    I guess if we go with the mind "assault" on Troi. That's the only thing we have and there's been no depiction of Remans anywhere else in Trek movies and TV outside "that movie."

    My Reman flies Breen ships all named after famous Thots. Very easy to name.​​

    Sorry, but you missed. By Thot Much. Or maybe Thot Right There was your plan. I Thot It Over and decided Thot You maybe were trying to be humorous. Then I smiled and didn't give it a Second Thot.

    There is an dedicated STO name generator at http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/name_generator.php

    There also is the site http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ which I often use to get some inspiration for fantasy names. Look at a couple and twitch them a bit to your liking.

    Both offer no ship names though.
