Bit by bit...it does get rather complicated when we get so far back that a spoken language isn't necessarily in existence...

[Ah. Ahaha.] Unfortunately while I understand your point, I can safely confirm it's indeed typically a matter of pride... [She sounds quite lamentuous.] Even those from more ancient eras who have made the leap can be quite belittling to speak to...I do find that working with their own language gets a margin of gratitude, but for every polite deity, there's another asking why we can't sacrifice a few goats in their honor anymore...

[It really does vary, ultimately...] Ahhh, but perhaps I shouldn't dwell on that...after all, speaking frankly, we've managed to come to know more about our world's history than ever dreamed possible thanks to what's there thus far.
