About Kaja
A fictional language spoken in my conworld; this dialect, kaja pesi (ocean kaja), is spoken by several thousand people. Was supposed to be a proto-lang.
Most of the dictionary was auto-generated as a starting point; I'm working through and editing the vocabulary to make it feel more natural and make more sense.
