And in the spirit of putting that data to use, the new info is on the language page , and we can start working on the other passages.

It wasn't playing in firefox for whatever reason, so here's the actual file (attached). It sounds like a lot of familiar words, but I don't have time to transcribe it at the moment. The guy in it sounds kind of pissed, though, and the beginning contains some radio noise that sounds kind of like those sublymonal commercials. Anyway, enjoy:

Any chance this Bryan is not IG, but rather one of us?

We did have a Bryant early on, but the way Hank refers to him consistently makes me think he's in game. Bryan also could turn out to be our mysterious friend from 746865656e64.com/ who has told us before that he is not Lanti himself but has somehow become fluent in their language.

this but for the benefit of others trying to keep up mcreed pointed out that we're looking for the final "character" from the initial site. It seems this could well be him.

Sorry, I'm a bit foggy this morning, but how many characters do you think we're looking for? From 746865656e64.com/, it looks like there are three figures. One of those (on the page at Yshk Gai) may be Kendra, but it's hard to tell unless we confirm that she/they have matching tattoos. The silhouette on the Yshk Lanti page doesn't really look like Hank, but it might be John for all we know. The figure on Yshk La could be anyone -- maybe Bryan. The eye on Yshk Sha (which probably means "For Us") probably identifies with the webmaster we've been corresponding with -- its first-person references (i.e. "What we have seen . . .") from the pre-286 site seem to go along with those emails which now seem to have dried up.

Popping in out of nowhere, not having followed this, so I may need a trouting, but grabbed this from the wiki:

"spiala verkandon un esetula ra actino srk laku teyailn aladi iraja p arpka flalo talm craah olj fhar ra guakala ny linguala di shundaj mrkzai, ghyra aladi monlj hykyar en gora zinhaj sha skorjin ny trakan."
tentative translation:
Bryan's translation (via Hank)
aladi is indicative of the present perfect tense ("there has been," "we have brought").

tentative translation:
monlj ) appears to be identical regardless of whether it's in the third-person singular or the second-person plural, meaning that there's not even inflection between singular and plural forms, like there is in some English verbs.
ETA : I just noticed on the wiki that it said to use that rather than these threads, and that everything I've said is already in the wiki's lexicon.
