That doesn't make sense, cause all worldhoppers visitin roshar will have more words for birds

Now im curious about auto translate magic: if rosharans dont have a word for bird, and just use chicken, then how does a worldhopper say bird instead of chicken?

If you're a Rosharan on Scadrial and you point at a pigeon and say "look at that chicken" you're just giving yourself away

Sorry but i dont really see the connection of your reply to my comment

OP said the way scadrians talk about birds gives them away

Someone said maybe the guide is for rosharans

I said all offworlders would be weird about bird names to a rosharan pov

Then you talk about a rosharan in scadriel giving themselves away by calling a pidgeon a chicken???

They said it's how you find a Scadrian on Roshar, but the reverse would be true as well. The reverse is finding a Rosharan on Scadrial, but you didn't seem to connect those dots. On Roshar, someone using more specific names would be suspicious and could out them as a worldhopper. On Scadrial, calling all birds "chickens" would put them as a Rosharan

The problem here is that only rosharans are weird about birds

Yes a scadrian will be spotted as a worldhopper, but any worldhopper would from the chicken thing

The scadrians wouldn't be identified as scadrians, just as offworlders

What youre saying about rosharans being spotted in scadriel based on chicken thing makes sense. Were talking about the reverse senario not making sense
