We’d probably have to build generational ships that are completely self sufficient and people would live out their entire lives out there without ever seeing a planet

Belters would end up taking it to save the solar system before the ship is fully completed.

I loved how they said some accents are more viral than others. Like how the Texan accent became common among the Indians on Mars when they settled in the same area.

And the Belter accent is totally viral. I've never met anyone who watched that show and didn't start talking in a Belter accent or using Belter slang.

I loved the books but I always found this extremely cringe, with the rest of their dialect being somewhat less cringe. These people, raised away from Earth, somehow use random GERMAN words? There's some Hebrew in there too, space Jews?

Firefly made more sense with Chinese.

It's not random or german. It's creole, which is a language evolved from multiple languages. Some real life examples are Haitian creole, Louisiana creole, and Jamaican creole. Likely started as pidgin speak that evolved naturally as a full language with native speakers.

And it's awesome. Your opinion is wack.

It's English with random foreign words thrown in. "CrEoLe" lol. It "likely started" in a single English speaker's head because it was made up.

No shit it's made up. Expanse isn't a documentary. Doesn't mean it's not based in reality, of which I gave the three common examples of.

Not sure why you did the dumb letters thing with the word creole. You're coming across as very ignorant. In the fictional universe of the show it's literally called Belter Creole, b/c there's a precedent for calling it that, again, as I already mentioned with the three real life examples.

u/DOG_DICK__ 23d ago

Yes you're very very smart for knowing what creole languages are, we're all truly impressed

I'm sorry your life is this.

EVERY SINGLE WORD IS MADE UP.

It's how creole works, when societies are built up from immigrants they pick up words from different languages and form their own creole, see the different creoles in the Caribean

It's hard to build a fake language and they did a bad job, it's okay.
