LOL, you're probably right. Though I do have to admit a strange connection to German. I haven't seriously studied the language, but I was watching an Austrian film a few months ago and I found myself understanding large sections of it without the subtitles. I picked up a ton of vocabulary too. I wish my Gallic endeavors were as painless.

And I thought my cassettes vs. CDs thread was scraping the bottom of the barrel...

In any case, I was an Inuit in my last-life, living probably somewhere in Western Greenland. There.

I spoke an otherwordly language known as Drachlande. I can still remember a little of it. I'd like to have a go at reconstructing / re-remembering it some time. I have a feeling I spoke at least a bit of some other languages then, too.

Can anyone remember anything of the language(s) that they spoke? Any words or phrases?

This is a delicate area as it can offend some but as a firm believer in reincarnation I would suggest that there are good reasons why we don't easily remember past lives. However many people are unexplicably drawn to certain places or people, which can seem to defy logical explanation.

Consider one example, how many people are drawn to the pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, etc. Some of these tourists have an inner drive to specifically (re?)visit them (more than any other ancient site). Alternatively consider when you sometimes meet people that you somehow "know", yet you have never met (in this lifetime). Again in some cases this could be a faint rememberance of a past life relationship.

This is a big esoteric area. Accepted by some religions, rejected by others, taught in our world through some esoteric societies and available, in principle, to anyone. But it does take a lot of work.

I don't know what I spoke in my latest past lives, but many many past lives ago I spoke one of the languages found in Konrad Lorentz's King Solomon's Ring. ;-)

Drachlande? What do you mean by "otherworldly" language?

I have a good feeling I spoke English for the last few past lives. Even though I was born in Germany, German is not easy for me.

I have heard of people who when regressed spoke extinct languages that they other wise would not have known.
