It’s back!
Unfortunately, doing this just reminded me why I quit in the first place so we won’t be having any more, at least not any time soon. But I did want to get this one out there because I liked it and it kind of gives some insight into DJ Octavio’s character!

Hi Rassicas!
I was wondering if you knew of the existence of any direct translation of the Japanese version of the Mem Cakes…? All I could find was a Google translated version that didn’t make much sense.
Also, this is kind of unrelated, but I was wondering what language(s) (most of) the Splatlandian Octarians know. Would they know the Octarian language, or do they only know the Inkling language?
Thanks so much for all your work with Splatoon lore!
Like an archive of all of them? I don't think something like that exists.
I've translated a couple here and there for myself, but I haven't shared them
from the blue octoling amiibo, the splatlandian octolings speak the inkling language fluently. whether or not they speak the octarian language is unknown, but with the multi-species, multilingual society that they live in, i could imagine they do, depending on the kind of community in which they were raised. i don't think the octarian language is something that exists only in octavio's army or whatever, octarians must've been speaking it before the war.
#asks#the concept is crossing my mind of if they had to surpress their language and culture in the splatlands too#but do you think the splatoon team is going to expand on that. probably not lol#octolings#splatoon headcanon

So...
If you have seen my post about making a Salmonid Conlang, (which I deleted the file for to start over. don't worry, I haven't abandoned it.) I confess that my ambitions went beyond that.
Succinctly, I want to construct a Salmonid conlang, an Octarian conlang, and finally, a Mixed Language of the two. also, I want to create an Inkling conlang because it felt criminal to leave them out.
Now here's where it confuses me. predictably the Octarian conlang and Salmonid conlang are spoken by their respective species. this I find plausible due to the cultural and geographic barriers involved between the two parties. But this also takes place in a head canon alternate universe of mine. one where the Octarians and Salmonids collaborated on a project together.
That project being the combining of their respective biology. inspired by a post by @5tell4r, the Octarians managed to do just that, bringing into existence what you would know as "Salmonlings".
Long story short. the Octarians kept these Salmonlings on a research outpost that bordered on Salmonid territory. it is here that they were educated in the ways of both peoples, including their languages. Thus, what I call the Octo-Salmon language came to be. Due to competent teaching from both parties, it is thus a mixed language that combines phonological, grammatical, syntactic, and other features of both languages.
I also have an idea for story about a team of Salmonlings leaving the outpost to be the first of their kind to visit Inkopolis and/or Splatsville. They would slip into their native tongue - the Octo-Salmon language - when they get excited. but that's a story for later.
Like I stated above. to create this Octo-Salmon language I need to:
Create a Salmonid language
Create an Octarian language
Combine the two.
despite my deleting of the former, I am well on my way to creating the first one. the second one is more of a challenge mentally. and the third step is sure to be interesting.
Wish me luck, and till next time... ;).

my daughter has no personality other than being timid & poor from the start i kinda want her to pair her with someone manipulative that she trusted only because they are an octoling
#but then my daughter will probably never smile and will always be miserable#i actually kinda eyed on my friend's oc for that reason but i guess that kind of thing would be too much to drag someone else to#not that i am great at writing evil i still want to keep my daughter safe#splatoon#splatoon 3#splatoon oc#octoling#octoling oc#fanart#i wanted to name him another language for satan or devil#but i like the part where u r named contradicting to what u are#like exactly my friend's oc that's named something bright and yellow but his aura is totally dark#https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/angel#the pronunciation of anđeo from that website is so cool#that i decided to pick it#i still think how my daughter is still fidgety around inklings like she can't really trust or understand them#while it's actually the octoling near her that can't be trusted#she is mostly comfortable befriending other species that don't talk much#or just other species really#anđeo is probably a really killer soldier but scrapped because he starts losing parts of his body like eye and leg#and those defects count him as uneffective#and now he lives on with evil & resentment in his heart#anđeo#master jellyfish#slza#oko#octarians

I heard the new Deep Cut song, and does the Japanese lyrics maybe imply that this society does at least know Japanese?
#splatoon 3#it’s an interesting turn of events#but I imagine the language isn’t as popular as inkling/octoling dialects

Noticed something cute. In Splatoon 2, the Octoling amiibo speaks in broken English. This probably connects to how the Octolings only recently joined Squid society. They're still learning the language.
When you use the same amiibo in Splatoon 3, however, the Octoling is fluent. She mastered the language in the 5 years between games.

Great news for the “Octolings can purr” truthers out there.
Funnier news is they do it for seduction, getting kids off their lawns, and talking mad smack about how they’re gonna beat your ass.
Maybe that’s what this is. Eight threat purring with all their might.
Octarians like music turned up so loud it sounds like the speakers are purring at them.
Octavio has never stopped threat purring in his life.
Marina’s ass is flirt purring constantly around Pearl.
You know her ass was purring so hard she was like a cell phone getting an emergency alert.
ETA: it’s not real apparently, not to that extent anyway. For some reason searching “octopus body language” leads to a LOT of paywalled results and the free results ended up being AI-sourced. Octopuses do make some sounds by expelling water through their siphons, but there is not evidence of them communicating through vibration sadly.
Having said that, you can pull this headcanon out of my cold, dead hands. Im just calling it a trait Octarians developed as they evolved away from our current octopuses and changed to live on land. I just like it adding an alien aspect to them that’s distinct from inklings because I consider inklings and Octolings pretty genetically different and just filling similar niches due to convergent evolution.

A little tidbit about Hypno Callie...
I wanted to touch on a little interesting detail about Hypno Callie because this fascinating thing relating to her dialogue is very much overlooked and for a valid reason. Unless you know Japanese and have played Splatoon 2 in it's original Japanese version then you've probably missed this very cool detail about her.
So what I'm talking about? Well, Callie under the Hypnoshades speaks in katakana. For those who are unaware which is probably... 99% of you, katakana is a form of writing in Japan used for foreign words and accents. Splatoon characters from my knowledge are written in hiragana which is common in Japanese media, however, the only characters that use katakana are Octarians like Marina and Octavio.
As you may or may not know, Octarians actually have their own language and probably have a distinctive accent compared to Inklings which is why their dialogue is written in katakana. Marina's dialogue is written in katakana as she was born in Octarian society and the Inkling language is her second language so she probably has a very strong accent when speaking. Octavio's dialogue is written in katakana because well... He's the leader of the Octarians, duh.
So when Callie is under the Hypnoshades, her dialogue changes to katakana and when the shades get shot off of her, her ability to speak in her regular language slowly gets restored as her dialogue slowly goes back to being hiragana.
So did the shades cause this? Did the shades brainwash her and force the Octarian language into her brain? Well... if you have seen my other posts going over the Hypnoshades in great detail... no. That's not the case, and i have proof!!!
During the Tokaigi 2018 live performance, when Callie recalls the events of Splatoon 2 to joke around with Marie, her dialogue is written in katakana for a brief period. (Rough translation from Inkipedia.)
So what most likely happened is that Callie actually learnt the Octarian language from her time in Octo Canyon and she can speak it with ease. Or she developed an accent from her time being among the Octarians and picked up on the way they speak. Smollusk did state that Callie has Octoling friends and if they aren't talking about Shiver and Marina then we can assume that Callie has other Octoling friends who she can talk to in their language out of respect. It's now a new headcanon for me that Callie speaks with Marina in Octarian in private....
It's actually so interesting to me that Callie was so stunned and dazed from Marie flinging her out of hypnosis and seeping ink into her eye that she was talking between different languages or accents WHILE SINGING AND DANCING! That's insane to think about... Callie was really going through it in Splatoon 2 huh.
