Does this dictionary now reflect everything listed in the zombie lexicon page?

I think so. I'm not sure, feel free to verify. Daniel Hicken 04:26, 1 April 2007 (BST)


"Barg z!ngz" - food" - YES! And here I didn't think anyone got that when I spoke at the Quartly Lib... ummm. Damn. Let's try again: Arragh! An Rrrgang nah z anabagah grab-gab grh Rrrgang gabbah-gabbah anzagh rabrarah. - Wolfgang Puck 00:03, 10 May 2007 (BST)

Sorry I didn't get that at the library... Daniel Hicken

Has anyone tried to turn this dictionary around to make translation from English to kiZombie easier? --Evan Cord 17:33, 23 July 2007 (BST)

Evan-- if you're using Firefox, just hit the / button and at the bottom of the screen a window will pop up for you to type in a search term. This makes it quite simple to browse the dictionary in English. If you're using Internet Explorer (DON'T!), I think you can hit Ctrl+F for a similar but clunkier function. --Buddhagazelle 21:13, 23 July 2007 (BST)

disregard of ! as a vowel

Mah zambah nah grah "!". "!" az harm, "!" az zzzzargh, mah zambah ahm "!"-zaggar --~~~~ [talk] 22:51, 17 October 2007 (BST)

Manah, manah zambahz grah "!" az barah. Mah zambah nah zgr!b!r z!ngz az mah zambah z!ng zam ab. Mah zambah zgr!b!r anrah z!ngz mah zambah z!z ahn Marban. Daniel Hicken 04:44, 18 October 2007 (BST)
Mah zambah nah grah ahn "zgr!b!r"-ang, anrah "graagh"-ang. Manah zambahz ganna grah "!"? abar mah zambah nah grah zam "Zamgrh"-zambahz. Mah zamgrh-grah az "!"-nah zamgrh-grah! [OOC: !-free dialect] --~~~~ [talk] 17:19, 18 October 2007 (BST)
Ah gah "zgr!b!r z!ngz" anrah har, an zah R!g!. An mabah !z nah arr zambahz, bag manah, manah zambahz gah "ggh mm amr mmr am rm am mmm mm mmmmm mm rr" an gannah annarzanz !g. Nah zambah grah, zah. Az mambrrrng, nah zbaazh. Daniel Hicken 04:22, 19 October 2007 (BST)

Alphabetization of ! as a vowel

All matters of disregard aside, should ! be alphabetized as a punctuation mark, before "a", or should it be alphabetized like the letter "i", between "h" and "m"? --Sterling Bershadsky 00:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

As a punctuation mark --~~~~ [talk] 09:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Personal Pronouns

We lack some personal pronouns here.. What do you think of Gaar for your (sing.) and Grazzar for your (plur.)? --Kenny Larson

I think it should be 1 word for both. kiZombie is a simplified language and no reason to make 2 words where for exapmle english has 1. Oh and mah zambah mmm gaar zamgrh! --~~~~ [talk] 19:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, but then we should remove the plural "you" too :) Should I proceed? --Kenny Larson 12:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Please, don't remove anything. You see, kiZombie is not an unified language. Actually every zombie speaks on it's own dialect of kiZombie. For example, few headers above i'm complaining that "!" is not an "i" for me, but i didn't remove such words. The purpose of dictionary is to cover as much as possible of different words from different zombies. You can add both gaar and grazzar, i'm not against, though you know my opinion on it. So basically you can add whatever you want, in common sense limits. And back to the question, i only use gaa myself :) --~~~~ [talk] 21:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
What about "y'all"? -Ornithopter 18:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Some of these are pure awesomeness, though there are some, that i don't like. I might come in with list of explanations later. Great job anyway! --~~~~ [talk] 18:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
No problem. That's why I submitted here instead of the main page. Let me know any specific problems (incorrect letter use etc), and I'll try and sort it out. --Portalcore 08:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
