[view] About rrasyniLiterally translated as "cat-speech", and the general family for my Warriors conlang work
[edit] [view] nuwaisyn (Five-speech)Modern Niasyn is currently undergoing a fundamental change to its numbering system, where younger cats use something more akin to base 25, adding a specific word for "five" from the word for "sky," from SkyClan. nuwaisyn is only used by the younger generation in the Clans, mostly cats that have just become warriors. It also involves a vowel shift prompted by the arrival of SkyClan's dialect.
