Any new info on the language spoken on board the Nautilus? I found this on
wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_constructed_languages


The "Nautilus Language", spoken on board Jules Verne's famous fictional
submarine, in token of crew members having completely renounced their
former homelands and backgrounds. Every morning, after scanning the horizon
with his binoculars, Nemo's second-in-command says: "Nautron respoc lorni
virch". The meaning of these words is never clarified, but their
construction seems to indicate that the "Nautilus Language" (its actual
name is not given) is based on European languages.

-Thank you ~ best regards
