Just throwing this out:

Anyone around who can help me with some small translations into Russian, Chinese (probably Cantonese, though I'm primarily interested in something used by aristocracy) and/or any of the Coast Salish languages?

Approximations are fine, and these would only be a small assortment of nouns, plus a general overview of word structure and naming conventions.


Novel project. I have a few alt history cultures I want to base on the 18th/19th century versions of these cultures and their languages. The end versions will be bastardized, but I want to know what I'm bastardizing before I do so.

If you help me with this, I'll let you in on a short summary of the story. :)

Happy to help.
I just want to mention one more thing. In Russian not only every living thing but all the objects have to be male, female or neutral. And the endings of all the adjectives and verbs differ because of that. It's rather complicated.
So if you are planning to combine those words I gave you ("Red mountain" or "Steel Lake" etc), better check with me first unless you want to create an equivalent of "I does".
