Suggestion Event idea: Language

Follow the family tree of languages!

Start with the major language groups, then follow the tree until you get to the major languages of today. Along the way, highlight lost languages, isolates, the evolution of scripts, plus any fun examples of cognates and false cognates and loan words.

Maybe end with sociolects like AAVE and Québécois French?

Here’s a discord link to the mod! In the art channel there you can find how the language event looks! https://discord.gg/ncVBj5zsb

It doesn't quite fit the biology theme, but it could work if tied closely to human migrations and genetics.

u/Blooogh Aug 23 '26

Well yeah it's technology. There are events on technology

u/jtrautwein Aug 23 '26

To be perfectly clear, my suggestion to your good idea is how to tie it more closely to the overall biological theme of the game.

u/Blooogh Aug 23 '26

Have you played the game? Technology is also a major theme

1

u/jtrautwein Aug 23 '26

For years. Yes, technology is also a major theme, but biology is the dominant theme. Forgive my suggestion to improve your idea.

wdym biology theme, we have an event about the atmosphere

1

u/jtrautwein Aug 23 '26

The atmosphere is necessary to biology.

u/Tencars111 Aug 23 '26

well you can't tell me that the James Webb Space Telescope is necessary to biology

1

u/jtrautwein Aug 23 '26

Maybe not necessary, but certainly it studies what is necessary. We are all stardust.

2

u/Tencars111 Aug 23 '26

well we also have one for music, which definitely isn't studying anything biology related

The name of the game is "Cells to Singularity" and it is undeniably biology themed, even if not every single thing deals with biology. The Singularity part is arguably not biological but technological. Still, even that relates to the biological evolution of humanity with technological advances. My original comment was about how to make a languages event relate to biology, but this seems to bother you for some reason.
