2nd Codex | Audio
[Altaïr was unaware that the journal in his pocket had activated somehow, that it was transmitting for all the sound of it smacking against wood as he steadily made his way up the mast of the ship he now called home. Over the rhythmic thuds and the sound of the wind blowing, Altaïr's voice could faintly be heard. And if one knew Arabic, they were in for quite a treat.
Curses upon the ship were tumbling from his mouth, the vast majority of which we're wishing catastrophe upon the ship. He was NOT enjoying himself at the moment, but it was necessary for him to acquaint himself with his new surroundings.]

You don't sound too happy there, man. Want to slow down and repeat that last sentence? ((Okay he might be taking notes.)) What language are you speaking anyway?
[voice]
It takes him a moment to remember that the Journal he'd been given can send voices as well as the written word, and he fishes it out of his robes. Sure enough, it was working.]
What I said is not worth repeating. Nor is it to be used in any sort of company. The language is called Arabic. [Or at least that's what the Crusaders called it.]
[voice]
Yeah, I figured they weren't worth repeating, but it's still good to expand your vocabulary, right?
[voice] Sorry this took so long! I got sick :(
I will not teach it though; using such language in my village would result in a beating from the guards.
