Then your luck is in! Obverse are publishing Dalekese, a tongue-in-cheek guide to speaking the language of the Daleks! It's in aid of Children in Need and will only be on sale until the end of November. |

Isn't there really just one word you need in order to speak Dalek?  |

In advanced Dalekese, there are 83 words for Exterminate.  |

It's an oft-repeated stereotype that Daleks have 80-some-odd words for "exterminate," when in reality they have about the same number as we do. This myth can be traced back to work with natives of the planet Skaro done by Noam Chomsky in the early '60s...
