I believe Mark Rosenfelder extended somewhat on Hergé's original corpus, to create a more complete conlang with vocabulary and grammar. The additions appear carefully constructed, but they should either be left out in the article or clearly marked as fanon. 惑乱 分からん 21:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Text.PNG
Image:Text.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Spoken Syldavian in the animated series?
Were there any examples of spoken Syldavian in the animated series? Particularly for the French dub. Would be interesting as that's probably the closest to a canonical source we could find. (I also think Spielberg and Jackson have plans for a CGI version of the moon duology.) 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 21:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There was a short scene where it was spoken, when Tintin is found by the peasants, the scene uses what appears to be gibberish but one line is the same as in the comic (Kzommet micz omhz, noh dascz gendarmaskaïa). I can only show this YouTube video of the episode as evidence, though. Yshiye (talk) 21:12, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Typo in Imperative of Löwn
The forms shown are identical to those of blavn but I do not have source material to replace them with the correct forms.--Lieven Smits (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Sample text and translation
The sample text is, imo, not well translated. The original text in King Ottokar’s Sceptre has no punctuation marks. Through these (who made them?), the meaning is altered, and the translation diverges from Frédéric Soumois in “Dossier Tintin”. Specifically, the punctuation forces the translation of “lapzâda” into “sceptre”. A Brussels dialect speaker would translate “lapzâda” into “Lap! Zei hij”. Furthermore, “kzommetz pakkeho” (come get it), already has an object (it): “kom het pakken”. And by adding “sceptre” to the phrase, the amateur translators lost the beautiful allusion to Leonidas’ μολὼν λαβέ.
