okay so I started pondering over a certain detail lately with Nosferatu 2024 - whether Orlok is Hungarian or Romanian. I found this Den of Geeks piece for the movie where Bill himself said Orlok could be other one. (quote in the scan below)

"There's no historically accurate accent of what that would sound like anymore. He could possibly be Hungarian or he could be Romanian."

so now my question is, could he be both? have heritage on both sides? I know in the 16th century Transylvania was part of/controlled by Hungary, and from what I've read there's a lot of lingering tension between Hungarians and Romanians, but I am still learning more detailed history for that particular period/area. Eggers and co. have referred to Orlok or his look/style as Romanian, Hungarian and also just Transylvanian (iirc).

the Dacian language indicates (imo) that he seems to have Romanian heritage through at least one parent but that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. there's always the chance he was simply a Hungarian nobleman who went down the rabbit hole of the Daco-Romanian based traditions and folklore and magic/religion. even being ethnically Romanian doesn't mean he'd known Dacian if it was a dead language by then.

(my personal headcanon for the Dacian is, during his dive into the occult, he learned the language, and now he strictly uses it because it's a dead language - I'm sorry but Orlok is absolutely that guy who'd speak the dead language nobody else knows because it proves how learned he is.)

Once again suffering from 'I need to learn every language ever let's start studying three at once' disease

I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m Irish and used to seeing all sorts of haha jokes about how weird our names are etc but yet I’m always surprised how surprised people are when I say that I find Welsh a pretty easy language to get the gist of. It makes sense! Welsh is something I know very little of but yet I find it easy enough to parse out the pronunciation of. I don’t always know what things mean but I’m not usually that far off in how they should be said.

Since the word 'lucifer' means morning star in Latin, I like to imagine that everything that happened in "Luceafărul" by Mihai Eminescu cannonically happened to Lucifer from whb.

Lucifer = Luceafărul = Hyperion confirmed

[tired-ppth-immunologist]

i'm curious now, what languages do you speak?

Ah, well, I can speak Romanian (since it’s my mother-tongue), English, German, learnt Scottish Gaelic as a hobby in college, and I’m currently studying Greek, for my mother was from Greece and I’d love to feel more connected to her.

Odd list, I know, but I think it’s helpful knowing some foreign languages, no matter how random.

once again TROUBLED by how good my game is when flirting with my best friend, imagine if i actually used that with people im trynna pull

[mihai-florescu]

"Why do you still use tiktok" to see EMIL the chinese guy that posts all his videos in romanian talking about his life living in beijing and there are hundreds of middle aged romanians in his comments complimenting how good his language skills are. The closest thing to consistent peaceful interactions on the internet ive seen in years are on this guy's account. It calms me down

my romanian coworker being so nice and complementing my probably not all that great pronunciation of romanian words is very encouraging to my timid attempt to start learning the language
