vampishly:deliciouskaek:alexandraerin:thewarfist:Very… very good question.They’re actually speaking entire languages based on tone and inflection and phonetic distinctions that non-native speakers can’t easily peak out. We name them based on what their languages sound like to us, in the same manner that Greeks referred to non-Greek speakers as “barbarians” because their speech sounded like bar-bar-bar.i’ve…i’ve actually thought this a little. i noticed a long time ago that whenever Pikachu is referring to Ash, he always says, “pikapi!” really fast. it’s the only part of his speech i can readily recognize as meaning “Ash” or “about Ash” or some kind of reference to him, but I can hear it. another thing he says a lot is “pikaaaaaa.”i never figured out what that meant.…..o_o; -- source link
