I have noticed garbling myself a few times.

It seems like whenever you have more than one language, your sirihish gets an occasional single letter garbled.  This seems more prevalent if your listener also has several languages (not sure if they just have to be on the skill list, or if percentages play a role).

I also have the impression that sirihish and R/W sirihish are different languages, causing these single-letter garbles to happen when nobles are talking to commoners.

At first I thought these were typos, but when someone types (random example) rapqor instead of raptor, it seems like more than a slip of the fingers.

In my case it was not the occasional letter that was garbled.  It was well over half of them.

In my case though, it's exactly what you described. One of them that I noticed also had to do with a noble.

I am pretty sure there was a bug with the linguist subguild where your race's primary language would get your skill in it reduced or something, resulting in a messed up letter every now and then.

Yeah, I noticed this a few times too. The typo just seems so out of place on the keyboard, like a 'n' instead of a 'r'. Does your skill ever get rebuilt up or do you need to wish up about it?

I thought the word was you had to wish up/mail the mud since there was a cap on subguild skills, but that was then.

I don't believe the linguist subguild would put an actual cap on your languages skills...from what I understand, there is no cap on language skills and the linguist subguild just gives additional languages at near perfect fluency.  Personally, I've played a linguist for some time and never noticed any garble in Sirihish from another native speaker...that or I simply dismissed it as a typo.

Exactly.  Your base language, whether Allundean, Sirihish or Mirukkim, gets set to near perfect along with the others that are added.

At least, that was the problem back like 6 months ago.
