I was playing The Silent Cartographer on legendary just for fun. I went to the spot where the jakals are around in a circle talking theres a link to the video here I was standing there watching them and they didn't see me so I stood there listening to them and they sounded kind of familar then they saw me and said something that was in unmistakable Japanese. So that means that in the game jakals speak Japanese. I've heard it numerous times and knew it sounded familar. Has this been mentioned before because I don't know if it has. Has anyone else thought about this.

I never considered jackals to have an actual language, they have more of a high pitched shrill. As for thier language where exactly did u hear this?

Well if you sneak up on a group of jakals anywhere in the game the leader will spot you and say something that sounds Japanese. He says it when he signals his troops to attack.

If you watch the movie in the link it doesn't sound a thing like it because they didn't do it right and the leader didn't motion his troops to attack.

I didn't ask for Roman, I asked for Romanji. Like typing out the words in english. So instead of writing out the kanji or katakana or whatever the word is you type out like "konnichiwa"

I don't know how to write out Japanese. But it sounded like Mashishiwa in a really fast voice.

I know that thats not my footage. But thats where in the game I found it out. And if you were reading correctly I said that in that video they don't sound Japanese because they aren'y talking loud. The only time jakals sound japanese is when you sneak up on a group of them and the leader of the group spots you when he spots you he waves his gun towards you and orders his troop to attack when he says it it sounds like mashishiwa really fast.

Also the leader of a jakal group is the one with the fin thingy coming out of his head. Beacause if you look at a dead group of jakals there is only one that has a fin on his head.
