don't remember all of them but heres a few, their sayings include

death to the infidel/unbeliever!
i'll taste your blood! (this later was used in blood2 but in 'normal' language)
fresh blood!

monolith designed a brief dictionary of cultist language, so you can kinda use it to translate their yells. it's an awesome gimmick.

Greetings Sekto

I think this link to a topic once created a while ago should hopefully answer a few possible questions you maybe seeking my friend.

viewtopic.php?t=654

I was browsing the forums a few weeks ago and came across some information within the thread, seemed helpful, but slink has very kindly shown some links above which may be more satisfactory.

Hah! Thanks, Froggy, but the sole credit for the Postmortem is not mine!

Now we only need to find the lyrics for 'Pestis Cruento', so I can begin to sing that in the shower as opposed to 'Infuscomus'...

It can be quite difficult to find a specific topic, especially if only one was created, but no need to worry Sekto, i hope all the information here and within the selections of links displayed have helped you.

Domus Durbentia is real in that it was created for, and use in Blood. However as an functional language it comes up short. It only has about 52 words, many of which have duplicate meanings depending on if the word is formal or colloquial.

scar3crow and a friend came up with an expanded lexicon, but it's not really official. I'm not sure where it could be found now.

It can be found on my hard drive 8)

Outside the game world the language doesn't really exist. However, it was made up by taking words from Latin and Sanskrit, then combining/mashing them into something that sounded cool. Transliterally at least, I have no idea regarding syntax and grammar, or if Monolith even went that far themselves.
