From what I remember of the fluff, City Speak is a language derived from English, Spanish and Japanese. I leans heavy on slang usage (and of course not only knowing which word from which language to use when, but also how to conjugate them), so simply having a fluency in the 3 base languages will not work. It is favored in the various Barrens of Seattle an like areas....
Being a player since sr1, some of the details get muddled.. Did I remember this correct? Can anyone assist with references from the books? |
