Cultist Language
From Blood
The Cultist Language or Cabal Language is the offical language of the Cabal, known to them as the Dark Wisdom (Domus Durbentia). It is a derivative of Latin, French and Sanskrit and has two forms - formal and colloquial. Little is known of it besides the individual words officially released by Monolith, and even this is not a comprehensive list of all the dialogue in this language. It is sharp, crass, terrifying and meant to unnerve non-cult members. It is most used in Blood, and generally subdued in Blood II, since by that time the Cabal had become an international trading empire, for which English is the best language of commerce. However, Fanatics and Zealots can still be heard exclaiming curses. Ishmael also speaks some cultists curses, as does the Prophet (including as a BloodBath player model), and Gideon has some recordings of him speaking in cultist.
In Shogo: Mobile Armour Division, Fallen troops can occasionally be heard exclaiming translatable Cultist phrases.

[edit] The Postmortem Cultist Translator
On the Blood fan site The Postmortem, there is a translator that changes English text into cultist. It is designed to make words look like they are in cultist by adding characters to the words. It has not been available since the main Postmortem Website went down in late 2009.
