Translated Sangheili dictionary?
Go here to dowload it: http://www.mediafire.com/?81wlb1bdx0w3mac
I found this on the interwebz. It's supposedly a dictionary with many Sangheili words and phrases translated into English. I'm not currently aware of it's source an it is most likely conjecture. But I still felt it might have some form of validity and be worth sharing. So what do you think of it?--Brute Honour Guard

Sangheili language?
Came across this tidbit on a Reddit r/halo post: "Bungie said in one of their podcasts that they were working with some people at a language college to develop a language for them. Of course there's the occasional English, but for the most part they spoke their own language." It seems to be used in this Halo 4 terminal video. So perhaps the Sangheili will have a proper conlang, at least! Neme 'Zusatee 21:23, 9 October 2012 (EDT)
