About Proto-Ulokakhian
Hello folks, welcome to Proto-Ulokakhian /ˌpɹəʊtəʊˈju:ləʊkækhɪən/, one of the two proto-languages of the Tarafa planet, the other being Proto-Hungo-Forouish (I'll build it a year later). This language is spoken by a four-legged, four-armed ,four-eared and three-eyed creature with human-like shapes. They are the 'Ulokakhian's, and they live in the North continent of the planet. I could dwell into the intriguing and terrifying history of these so-called 'Ulokakhian's, but since this is about languages, we'll cut it here.
The main features of this language are:
-Grammar flexibility
-Ridiculously long words
-A familiar, yet strange phonology
-Three regional dialects
-A logographic writing system
