Nice ya back, Reverend.
We'll get some new Mando stuff next year in Karen Traviss' new book Republic Commando: Triple Zero. She said there would be much stuff 'bout Mando culture and language. And also, she's still working on the dictionary grin
So I guess the thread here will go on... grin

hey Karen, any info on when the mando language dictionary will be ready or availeable for us impatient mandolovers? or previews?

I´d love to sing on Mandalorian.. or present some loveletters or lyrics to my girlfriend, she adores Boba Fett *g*. So if you could include words that fit such categories and not only war chants *gg* would be great.

In brief, no. Obviously there'll be a fair bit around in March 2006, when RCTZ comes out. I'm still adding to it and I have to run it by the powers that be yet.

But..romantic Mando'a? Hmmm.

I managed some sports Mando'a today. So how hard can smoochy stuff be? happy

slapped for being responsible for getting it included or slapped for actually trying to use it on mandalorian hotties?

Well, I might not give you the exact translation, and then if you use the line on some badass Mando gal and she gets the wrong idea, don't blame me if you end up chewing on a virbroblade...

I found a reference to the Mandos in the Young Jedi Knight book Darkest Knight:

"Smooth red armour covered their heads and shoulders like cowls, reminding him of historical images he had seen of ancient Mandorlorian uniforms." - pg 95.

It is 'Lord' Brakiss's thoughts on seeing the Emperor's guards. Doesn't make much sense to me, but hey, it's a reference.
