Klaus is probably a British scientist who moved to Rhadamanthus to work with the Zohar/Conduit. Klaus certainly knows Greek and Japanese. I think it’s very possible that other scientists were responsible for developing the trinity processor. If a Japanese scientist designed the processor that would explain the Kanji on both Malos and A/Alvis’s monados. The presence of greek is probably just a choice of theming to go along side the 3 beanstalks which were also named after Greek mythological figures
Tora explained in a heart to heart that he got the name for Poppi QTpi, who was originally named Hana Judgement Day, because of the day he decided whether he should put his left foot or his right foot in the bath first. This would imply that he knows what those English words mean. Also, the localizers decided to keep the bath joke despite changing Poppi's name, which just makes it feel random.
Localizations and being consistent are a duo that won't happen any time soon. Poppi QT is Hana JK in japanese, being short for justice knight. One of her special quotes is still "Poppi justice!", even tho that makes no sense with the changed name.
Clearly you don't see the vision with the choice of left and right foot in the bath first representing the binary choice of left or right potentially being both true at once under Quantum superposition, hence the Q in QTPi
I don't think Ontos, Logos, and Pneuma mean anything since when Malos asks the Architect what Logos means, he responded "It has no meaning. All it represents is the ego of those who named you." Which implies that he was not one of those people, and even if he was, "ego" suggests whoever named the cores chose greek names because it makes them sound smart even though they don't actually know greek. And about Telethia, It has an in-universe meaning (that which eliminates impure life), although tbh that could just be Lorithia saying that to be rude and intimidating to the party. If we take it as fact, then I think its more likely in universe that its a coincidence that its a bit like a greek word. Obviously the out-of-universe derivation is still that though.
canon language was extremply probably english from united kingdom. because english was a dominent spook today (Klaus time !) and in Xeno 3 is said the language stay in both world (probably a side efect of zanza minde/blades language) but the witten english was probably lost and humanity re invente witting (so they cannot read actual english in ruines). however Klause was probably german origins ans was or known japnese and the grec name od the trinity processor wasnt ths choice but co worker or boss.
I want to add my little grain of salt. In XC2 Japanese language every time someone says "people" they use the words "ひと" in the subs, but when Klaus say it (and only with Klaus) the subs use the kanji "人". This is a form of implying that only Klaus remembers what Humanity really was 'cuz at the end of the day the people of Bionis and Alrest aren't really full humans. The people from Bionis are more or less made of 100% Ether and the people from Alrest are offsprings of Titans that look *almost* human.
That fact is actually fascinating but it doesn't change the fact that the people would adapt a similar type of speech if Zanza creates and governs the people and Klaus send Blades down that probably had the language installed as well. It also makes more sense that they can communicate with each other throughout the different worlds if they have the same language. As I said I definitely think the actual alphabet is lost but they speak similarly.
Iirc, the same kanji is actually used in XC1 in dialogue. Obviously still meaning "people" rather than "human" because the idea of the word "human" is entirely lost to the world of the ether sea. Kinda weird tho that it is specifically missing in 2 then.
The topic of real culture and language coming into Xenoblade is kinda odd. I mean, when we have references to moon rabbits and oni, aswell as diffrent languages and real fighting styles being taken as a source, then several questions obviously arise. Did these things re-emerge naturally or are they somehow leftovers from the old world? Like, did Zanza, using the last fragments of his lost memory, teach the first homs what a Sobat is and that eventually ended up with Reyn many generations later? For the actual question of the video, that's kinda hard to say. We can at least assume that Klaus knows japanese because Zanza's reaction at the end of Xenoblade 1 feels less like "That's a symbol I have never seen" and more like "I know what that symbol says and I am in trouble". Assuming he named the first core crystals(It is not really confirmed if he did or not. He essencially only says about them that the names have no real meaning besides the research project having been pretentious), he would probably also have at least a vague understanding of greek. There are also other cultural influences related, like one of Malos' sword tonfa arts being named after french boxing(Savate), and it is hard to say if we can source that to Klaus too or not and if that means he knows french aswell if we can.
Klaus is most likely of German heritage, but I just realized something cursed. He could also be Dutch, and if he was the one to have actually found the Conduit in Africa, he might be from South Africa, and the canon language in the game is Afrikaans.
If we take saga to be canon then the Zohar/Conduit was found by a scientist named Dr. Masuda so I think it is likely that Klaus got brought on to the project later. Regardless Klaus definitely could be of German or Dutch descent
Clearly Xenoblade takes place in an alternate timeline where the British successfully retook the Americas. Hence why everyone uses British slang, you spoon.
Zanza Kluas is coming to town 😮
I really should've thought of that xd
@@SuperSavajin lol
@KrisspyCream637 also I just noticed your typo
The best and most important present Klaus gave us was by creating Nia.
Then Nia gave us Mio
@@5h3nn0ng Welsh Cat Girls, the gift that keeps on giving.
I could never be mad at Klaus killing humanity when it resulted in Nia existing
LMAO The edits from 7:10 onwards are fantastic!
Also, this was a spectacular video, thank you for the Christmas gift! :)

Santa Klaus, Im crackin up lmao XD
The ultimate plot twist is Zanza not knowing Japanese but Chinese, since kanji are based on sinogram.
THANK YOUUU
happy holidays to you too!!💖💗💖
Merry Christmas
To be fair Santa Klaus gave us some compelling and hot characters with huge lineages. He really keeps on giving.
god i cant wait for Xenoblade X DE😢
HappyTantalmas everybody UwU

Klaus is likely english or german given his name is klaus but also knowing multiple languages
canon language was extremply probably english from united kingdom. because english was a dominent spook today (Klaus time !) and in Xeno 3 is said the language stay in both world (probably a side efect of zanza minde/blades language) but the witten english was probably lost and humanity re invente witting (so they cannot read actual english in ruines).

The few remaining Americans fled to Mira
