Talk:Primal (language)
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
I'm not convinced of the notability of this "language". The claim that it is spoken by some people in the furry, otherkin, and therian communities appears to come directly from the FAQ on its website. There are a total of 27 people subscribed to the official mailing list about Primal. Including it here almost seems like an advertisement to try to generate more interest in it and possibly promote sales of the book. Jarandhel 21:46, 18 March 2012 (EDT)
- I would keep the article, but make it more clear that Trickster constructed it rather than merely "compiled and transcribed" it - if that is what actually happened, which seems likely. From the FAQ:
- Did you really write this language all by yourself?
- I produced and edited the book, and I maintain the tutorial. I also maintain copyright on everything connected to the language. I don't answer questions about where the language came from, though. I prefer to leave that to the imagination of Primal's fans.

- That seems fair. :) Thanks for looking into this. Jarandhel 15:08, 20 March 2012 (EDT)
The link seems to be down and excluded from the Wayback Machine, did anyone make a mirror? 185.159.157.45 23:30, 26 September 2021 (EDT)
- Hmm, all links are excluded, trying to find any link anywhere. Thank s for bringing this up. - Spirou (talk) 14:56, 28 September 2021 (EDT)
- There are front page and store page archives, among others. Also the font download page, although the only other place I could find PRIMALF.TTF mentioned is... a discussion of Spirou's decade-old computer? (Hope you got Library/Fonts backed up.)
- Tweets suggest the downtime is due to a lack of time combined with medical issues, but I've asked Trickster. Failing that, maybe we can piece it together from badges? Now that'd be a lexicographical adventure! :-) --GreenReaper(talk) 20:19, 4 May 2022 (EDT)
- Good news, a copy of PRIMALF.TTF (PrimalScript) has been discovered and archived.
