Growing up I had a friend who used to speak a strange language with her mother and at the time I didn't know what was. Now that I am grown up, I was curious if it was Esperanto, but I wasn't sure. So, I asked her what language it was and she said it was a language called gatie... Has anyone ever heard of this language?
It is nice to see a fellow Oregonian.

Sinanthiel, I`m ridiculously curious about this language.
I`ll need some clues though. Like the numbers from one to five. The verb to be. 'mom', 'dad'..
Stuff like that.
There is a region in Senegal Africa called Gatie. Africa is full of languages and dialects. Gatie is an Irish surname.
Could it be Native American and start with a glottal stop and not an English 'g'? Do you remember if it sounded germanic or closer to a romance language?
If your friend spelled the name of the language, would she spell it 'gatie' or does it just sound like that when she says it?
If ya can find any clues that would be great...
Hee hee. I guess my answer to your first post in this thread is "No, I`ve never heard of it!"

Wow, Sinanthiel, your picture is beautiful! You look like an angel.
What’s the cultural background of your friend? Is she from European, African, Meadle East or Asian origin? There are two languages with names close enough to the spelling you used for your friend’s mother tongue. Gatti from India and Gade from Nigeria.
