Introduction and Summary of the contents of my Web-site:
This dialect of the Gerudo language is one of many interpretations. So far, I have not seen any other versions on the internet, but one cannot assume that they are the only one and cannot claim to fame with it. Being a Linguistic Anthropology major, I know the ins and outs of building a language. I decided to get some practice and invent this "Language of Thieves". Many people have produced versions of the Hylian Language (I am pretty fluent in one dialect of it), so, breaking away from the ordinary, I decided to hypothesize the language of Ganondorf's tribe. I figured "Who would want to hypothesize the native language of the bad guy from OoT?" No one! Or at least a rare few. That is why I did it.
This language was invented because I have an interest in foreign languages (I speak a few of them: most are from "Zaathalah"--Packed Earth Society does not want me to mention the word "Earth" because they own this whole web-site: I'm just a contributor) and I am obsessed with Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series.
This language is a phonemic language as opposed to ones whose characters are words--like Chinese or Japanese Kanji--or symbols that are sounds--Japanese Hiragana and Katakana alphabets. The Gerudo Alphabet is basically The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which is a standard in the study of Linguistics.
New songs! New version of Crah Lira Daphil and a brand new song called SHEIK? based on Yuki Nagato's (Chihara Minori) SELECT?
Crah Lira Daphil (Begin this Legend)the song this is based on isBoken desho, desho?
This song is about Princess Zelda's life as "Sheik" (hence the name). A nice, sweet little ballad about the Sheikah Tribe. Special thanks to my friend, Sage of Shadow for the inspiration!

Thanks to MagmarFire (creator of the Sheikian Language) of Tower of Hades message board: I have written and performed some Sheikian-Language songs that will be featured at the end of every new episode of Ask Princess Zelda! An even bigger thank-you to Kyoto Animation for the off-vocal versions of the songs from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
To note: I am not a very good singer, but I am only posting these to show off how versitile Sheikian is. And the creator is my friend.
For the lyrics and or the translations: e-mail me!
Thank-you! Join my staff!(English) A novelty song from the end credits of an Ask Princess Zelda writing contest I held last month. This one is based on Hare Hare Yukai
Niya mar'beyrig LinacetKoi no Mikuru Densetsu was the song this was based off of. This song was featured as the Alternate Opening song for my latest Zelda fan movie The Legend of Lina: The Beginnings of a Hero. The person singing is supposed to be the title character: Lina.
Niya mar'beyrig Linacet (Princess Zelda's Remix) Princess Zelda sings this version. It is slower, more "bluesy".
This song is about Link getting greedy and losing his passion to save Hyrule. Princess Zelda sings this one. This one is based on Mary Timony's Dr. Cat

See all of the banners
below of the web-sites that dared to hookshot across the bridge and into Gerudo
Valley. Congrats to IZC for being the first to get a "Membership Card" and
becoming a Gerudo! You can be a Gerudo, too (without having to sneak around the
fortress). Just e-mail me and tell me a little about your web-site, send me your
banner and you're well on your way to becoming a Gerudo. The only condition is
it has to be either Gerudo-related or Legend of Zelda related.
If you would like to see these movies in Gerudo: click on Gerudo Only
; also make sure you watch the Gerudo-Language movie trailers I made!
Unfortunately, the Ice's Zelda Central banner is not working. Until I can call some male, Hylian construction workers to fix this, to go there, click here www.generation17.com/izc. Ice's web-site is one of the oldest Legend of Zelda fan-sites. It may not have any languages from the Zelda games, but it has some great music that you can download and a brand-new interactive web-site!
Let us welcome a new member of the Gerudo Tribe, Zelda Battle Arena! This site is full of information about the Zelda video game series plus the cartoon. It also has maps of Hyrule and Termina (no more having to call AAA...or would it be called HAA?...for road assistance!). It also has neat MIDIs of Zelda music remixes. It is definitely a site worth taking a look at. Click here Zelda Battle Arena!
I stumbled onto this web-site while I was hanging out at my usual message boards. I took a look and thought Sweet! If I could get a link to his site...it would be pretty cool! And on top of being chocked full of all of that Legend of Zelda goodness you love: it is Flash-animation based! Flash-Animation is the Future and Mabe Village will be one of the first web-sites to arrive there! As far as getting a link on this site, Mabe Village is certainly NOT a "Maybe": it is a "Most certainly will!". Click here to see the future of web-site designing: Mabe Village
This web-site is all about Nintendo and its many great franchises. It ranges from talking about everybody's favourite chubby, red-clothed plumber to everyone's favourite little, yellow Electric-mouse and more. If you are one of those die-hard Nintendo fans: THIS is truly a neat place to visit. Click here: LightAngelTora's Site .
Hi no Seijin runs this site ( he, myself and LightAngelTora are all affluent members on other Zelda-related forums). This web-site is mostly forums. However, these forums are very innovative: some of them have Legend of Zelda fan-fics posted on them as well as lessons in the Ancient Hylian Language (which was invented by the web-master, himself). You can also find Sheikah Language lessons, there, too (courtesy of Magmar Fire) and I am also a co-administrator for this site. Oh, and I have some original fan-fics posted there (these are stories that you cannot find on my web-site...which is very peculiar in a way). Anyway, if not go for my lost fan-fics, but go for Hi no Seijin's or any other member's works. Tal'Kipach Risthan or as it is called in English: "The Stone Tower".
Say Hello to our newest member of the Gerudo Tribe! TheTower of Hades, which is run by MagmarFire: creator of the Sheikian Language--The Language of the Sheikah Tribe. It is way too cool to even begin to describe. Because I love learning foreign languages, I am currently studying Sheikian. Check it out! It is really a cool site! TheTower of Hades
