Grineer Language


 * This page is a work in progress and is subject to (possibly constant) change.
 * Not all speech translations may be 100% accurate.

The Grineer locally use their language within and outside the battlefield. With a mixture of the old languages made on Earth, these can be heard in a strong yet offset manner due to their cloning deterioration. Their language was made and passed on ever since the Twin Sisters (rulers of the faction) came to be.

Standard Grineer unit speeches
With accordance to the Grineer Alphabet, the way the Grineer spoke is, as said, strong, literal but atrociously stern, making some hearings to be unlikely and unheard of, yet rarely give off understandable results. Few are similar to English language, most have their own translation. All of these are written through the speeches spoken by actual Grineer.

Some speech may be heard differently, but end with a similar English result.

Trivia

 * The audio language for the Grineer was added since Update 10.0.0.
 * It would seem some of the speeches are a similar blend with the languages on Earth before it was converted to Grineer such as English, German and French. This is reasonable as the idea that the Grineer used to be humans before their repeated industrial cloning made them as they are.
 * The Grineer Alphabet abstains the letter use of "Q", "X", and possibly "C" which can make translation difficult.
 * The Grineer language is made by running English words and sentences through a script before being voiced. Some of them, on the other hand, seemed to be garbled.
 * There is evidence to suggest that certain Grineer may have differing accents from other members of their faction. For example, in "The Call" trailer, the unnamed Grineer leader of the excavation puts no emphisis on the "H" in "moh'ne" when saying "Huh'ris moh'ne!" (He's mine!). Vor, however, is heard doing so later in the trailer.
