👻 Learn Spookspeech

An interactive guide to speaking like Spook from Mistborn

Lesson 1 of 10

Welcome to Spookspeech!

Spookspeech (also called High Imperial or Eastern Street Slang) is a structured language with very specific grammar rules. Every sentence follows a rigid pattern.

In this tutorial, you'll learn step-by-step how to translate English into Spookspeech through interactive exercises!

The basic structure:
[TENSE] the [verb]ing of the [object] of the [subject]
English: I ate pizza
Spookspeech: Wasing the eating of the pizza of the me

Lesson 1: Statement of Tense

Every complete sentence starts with a word that declares the tense:

Wasing = past tense
Ising = present tense
Willing = future tense
I walked → starts with "Wasing"
I am walking → starts with "Ising"
I will walk → starts with "Willing"

Lesson 2: Statement of Subject

The subject (who's doing the action) goes at the END of the sentence, after "of the":

Every sentence ends with: of the [subject]
I walked → "of the me"
You ran → "of the you"
Jeremy slept → "of the Jeremy"

Lesson 3: Statement of Object

The object (who/what receives the action) goes BEFORE the subject, also with "of the":

Structure: ... of the [object] of the [subject]
I hit the ball
... of the ball of the me

Lesson 4: Sentence Bodies

After the tense, use "the" (not "of the"), then add the verb ending in -ing:

[Tense] the [verb]ing of the [object] of the [subject]
Note: ALL verbs end in -ing, regardless of tense!
I ate pizza
Wasing the eating of the pizza of the me
She runs fast
Ising the running of fast of the her

Adjectives: Put them AFTER nouns with "of" (no "the"):

"big cat" becomes "cat of big"

Lesson 5: Prepositions and "And"

Prepositions (to, on, in, under, through, etc.) work like normal English!

I walked to the store
Wasing the walking to the store of the me

"And" connects multiple things with "and of the":

I walked with you (= me and you both walked)
Wasing the walking of the me and of the you

Lesson 6: Names and Titles

First names work normally, but titles and full names reverse (like adjectives):

First name only: of the Jeremy
Full name: of the Johnson of Jeremy
Title: of the Crispin of Lord
Lord Vader is ruling
Ising the ruling of the Vader of Lord

Lesson 7: Commas

Use commas to separate mini-sentences when:

✓ Tense changes
✓ Subject/object changes
✓ Time or place mentioned
✓ Comparing things
✗ NOT for lists (use "and of the")
I went to the store and will go again
Wasing the going to the store of the me, willing the going to the store of the me, of the again
My cat is bigger than yours
Ising the cat of bigger of mine, ising the cat of smaller of yours
