    At the ghost part, what do you think he actually says?
    I listened as closely to him as I could and wrote it into google translate. It recognized Italian and translated it to Italian. This is what I got: "We chaste plaque asteriom chin."
    Here's the video (With some suggestions of what he's actually saying, in the descirption of the video)

    It's definitely not Latin (I've studied Latin for years) :), but yeah, could be Greek, or maybe some Russian prayer or something? I've wondered about this ever since I got the game. :D Khan also says "I know this tunnel, and it knows me", so maybe he is saying something to his old buddies to let him pass? I don't know...

    This is how it sounds to me (and in the description of the video): Casto no ilapide asterium manto. Here's someone else's idea: Hindu Mantra http://metro2033.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Ghosts_(Level)

    After the happening, he says something similar to. "A battle raged here a long time ago. I was the only survivor." So he definitely knew the people that died, or had seen them at least, but yeah...

    It's all Greek to me. :p

    Well, we have confirmed that it is not Latin, Russian, or English. It's also not Dutch or French, from my knowledge of those languages. :D So that leaves a few hundred languages to go...

    In book Khan says some stuff that he's the only prayer of some god or something calle Dzingischtan (in czech book it says so)..With my language I can see it's from Turkish or Chinese language.. Maybe because he is the prayer he can walk through ghosts.. maybe

    It's not Romanian,German either, my opinion is that its some sort of prayer for the lost ones or its some sort of "password"

    But deimos since Khan is the only prayer how come Artyom can go through the ghosts
