How to Speak Prawn

[Felamine]

I like how their version of "fuck" sounds just like ours.

Maybe the prawns don't have a word for "fuck" (or "fok" in the Afrikaans language), and learned it by hearing humans say it?

[dangertv12345]

i think he said: "fwang" when he cussed lol

[bonchidude]

GREAT IDEA. Not stupid at all! There must be other words. Great job! 

JEK to the 3 dislikes!

[RomrotMechanikos]

heh heh when I first watched D9 a lot of the language sounded like gurgling your own phlem while you speak

[NerfWarrior1096]

lol 1:12 aliens cussing...classic :3

[littlebrotheryang]

nice video :D last is the best hahaha

[Denjecho]

Quiet down = Jek off

[diablo123123]

Before D-9 "Fock" is the international language.

After D-9 "Fock" is the universal language.

im gonna start talking this way in school and to my teachers theyll be like wtf is wrong with this kid... no but seriously i am...

[LOLZpersonok]

How'd you get this video posted to youtube without having it blocked around the world by Sony Pictures? I made a mashup with District 9 and it keeps getting blocked, I know the music isn't doing it. Please tell me what you did!

[jay83]

Ok let cut some cake,,,,, CUUut sooOome cAke

[troodon2]

i got this movie ripped off the internet without subtitles, i didnt know subtitles appeared when they were speaking. well foock that, i strangely kindoff understood them after 15 minutes watching it. its a movie so the alien language is quickly made up by humans, its not that hard to understand it, they used a lot of bodytalk too.

[themanfromwem]

Absolutlely briliannt...what a concept...will try "prawn" soon.... easier than Klingon ??? Howard

[PhillipLober]

Is it weird if I can actually speak like this...like sound like it? My friends keep on wanting me to speak like a prawn over and over again. Some skills are better left secret.

[kaycie92]

i like how they actually kept the same words through out the movie, instead of having random clicking and gurgling sounds for words that repeated .

:D this movie is just all kinds of epic

[RightWingAviator]

[SuperiFox]

Too me, some of the words sound human but are clicked instead of spoken. it's a mix.

[redstormfighter29]

damn they need to teach this in school lol

[JuggaloTheRolla]

Fuck!

[MurdocLC]

Love this. Though I'm not sure ALL words should be confirmed.

[561animelover]

Awsome I'm ginnards try 2 talk like them from now on

[tetankaluv]

Ooh hey, can I ask you something? did you get the clips off a dvd? If so, how did you do it?! I've been looking for a way for a long time.

[tetankaluv]

father = sta!uja

good = !ahün

I write appostrophy when it's a deaf click and ! when it's a clear click.

Wow am I a nerd or what.

[venichen1]

@tetankaluv you definitely know phonetics!

[tetankaluv]

@venichen1 Meh :D I'm just a District 9 nerd who's seen the movie too many times. People do hear it differently though.

Correction, there's no such thing as too much D9.

[tetankaluv]

In case you're interested, I got these some time ago. Not sure how accurate they are, but they're language is so unclear anyway...

It = tzi

it is = tzi 'a

my son = shya tu!lah

[Tanks4meSTC]

@tetankaluv

I was thinking it = Si, not tzi

Frankly, Chris's Yellow friend at the beginning is much easier to understand than Chris himself. He seems to have a significantly more "rumbly" voice than Chris's yellow friend. If they just switched the voices I would have been SO much happier. It's taken me probably 1.5 to 2 hours to go through about a minute worth of Prawn script, and I plan on making a multi-part video on translating the entire movie. Yeah, it's going to take a LONG time.

[tetankaluv]

OH MY HOLY FRIGGIN' GOD, that's my fanfic in the description!!!

So you found those words I wrote? Lawl yay!!!

I did spend hours listening to them as well, and would've written so many other words I got if I'd had the chance to. *purrrr*

This is going in my favs, you know?

[aFallenWolf]

@tetankaluv Wait you're suthneh?

[weiii101]

@aFallenWolf Yyyep. Who are you? O_o Are you in Deviantart?

[TheSilentGuard]

Thanks for uploading, this is awesome!
