Do we know if Spock speaks Vulcan or if he only knows some of the words? I mean, he was raised on Vulcan but the clips we see from AOS or some of the movies- or even in TOS with ambassadors have Vulcans speaking English (of course, it’s probably just to make it easier for the people watching to not decipher a language but a lot of media just adds subtitles in English for that portion)
I think it would be interesting if Spock only knew certain Vulcan words or concepts. Just another part of a culture he tries so hard to fit into but struggles.
#I wonder if there’s a term for speaking partially Vulcan and partially English#vulcanlish?#like spanglish or taglish (Tagalog-English)#Vulclish?#Vullish?#also do we think there are different Vulcan dialects#surely there must be#regional differences and allat#but does Vulcan have regional differences? like Earth has biomes and different countries#but if Vulcan is united by logic or somn like that would they…have regional cultures?#is the idea of different dialects for one language illogical#hmmmm#I need to think about this more#tos spock#s'chn t'gai spock#spock angst#ah yes identity angst for spock my favorite
