Far Cry Primal's unique language was created by historical linguists

In order to tame the beasts in Far Cry Primal, you’re going to need to communicate with them. And what better way to do that then with a historically accurate native tongue, created by historical linguists, that promises to correlate with what early man might’ve been saying at this evolutionary stage.

That's pretty neat! Their portrayal of culture is always really cool.

How could anyone possibly know or even study how people would have spoke 7000 years ago? Even if you based it on the environment at the time - if that would even come into play, you would still not know the words they used and for what they were used for. It's not like there are any actual recordings in existence of these people speaking, unless someone invented a time machine without us knowing about it.

You would have know how human language has evolved from it's first known spoken origins up into modern times. That's why Far Cry is using historical linguists. From there, you would have to regress into an even more simplified version of human speech by using known characteristics of the evolution of language as a model for that change. These people don't actually know, but can make very educated guesses that will sound like a real language as a result.

Linguists like this are also responsible for writing fictional languages in many Sci Fi and Fantasy films as well.

I'm glad to see that they are putting a lot of effort into making this game something besides a Shangri-La ripoff from Far Cry 4.

Still looks like a bargain bin game to me. The 'Far Cry' name might help, but I'll be amazed if it sells well.

After finding out about multiplayer and coop, I tend to agree.
