In the English trailer, Skullface says: "With this, I'll rid this world of infestation. Sans lingua franca, the world will be torn asunder...and then, it shall be free."



For those who don't know what "lingua franca" means, "A lingua franca is a language systematically used to make communication possible between persons not sharing a native language, in particular when it is a third language, distinct from both native languages." -Wikipedia



In the Japanese trailer, however, he says: "I'll rid this world from the infestation of the English language. I believe without this common tongue, the world will split into pieces...and then, it shall be free." (Sorry if my translation isn't very professional)



The main difference is that instead of saying "Lingua franca" (common tongue), the JP Skullface specifically mentions the "English language."



So we knew that Zero wants to achieve world unification and domination through the control of language, and that Skullface will fight Zero's plan by getting rid of language itself, which made me mistakenly think that Skullface planned to literally make everyone mute like Quiet.



It's interesting to find out that he's only aiming to eliminate the world's global and international language which is English.



Do you think Skullface's plan makes any sense? And what kind of outrageous method do you think Skull face will use to achieve such a thing? I just watched the Japanese trailer and I noticed that there's one small variations in Skullface's line which reveals a new piece of info.

And regarding how, it's hard not to look at Quiet for an answer here given both her nature and that all indications seem to be that she was experimented on by Skull Face/XOF. This again goes back to Stefanie Joosten's interview where she states "...of course she's not mute, so she can use her voice. But she's deprived of her words". "I wonder how often the MGS boards get flagged by NSA systems. They probably have us on ignore at this point." ~ treelog187 I was honestly wondering if he was referring to English when said "lingua franca" but it's interesting to see this was confirmed in the Japanese trailer.And regarding how, it's hard not to look at Quiet for an answer here given both her nature and that all indications seem to be that she was experimented on by Skull Face/XOF.

Perhaps this means she was raised in an environment where nobody spoke, or she was imprisoned in this environment by Skullface as an experiment of his to observe the consequences of raising a human without language, past the critical point of learning and into adulthood, where learning an entire language would be difficult (for the average person). This is probably gonna backfire on Skullface, because she will learn a language with the tutelage of a member of Mother Base and realize how limited her existence was by being illiterate, which is essentially what we think his plan is at this point. And Quiet will perceive Skullface's plan as having the polar opposite effect to what he intends. This will position her against him in a bid for revenge.

Maybe.



I doubt she was raised without any language at all because then she wouldn't be able to understand or communicate with anyone. And what we've seen, she clearly understands English. I mean, for all we know she probably understands multiple languages. She just can't speak.



I think her inability to speak is due to physical reasons. Maybe her tongue was cut out, which would fit the description of "A Sniper deprived of her words" I doubt she was raised without any language at all because then she wouldn't be able to understand or communicate with anyone.

But don't give up, no don't give up. I'm curious to see how it plays out.

I used to think it was something like that but it's just the way Joosten phrased her answer on the matter, her tone of voice and even a soft smile gave the unmistakable impression that there was more to it, that it wasn't something so simple.



DabTsog and Dave_Gahan also pointed out in another topic that Code Talker was shown with Quiet in the interrogation room together in the 2nd E3 trailer implying that her speech may be encrypted in some way.
