About ralach
An experiment with non-human language. This is an attempt to create a language that would likely be spoken by lions and other great cats if they were given the capacity to produce and process language. There are very few phonemes, as the lion's vocal tract is not capable of producing a variety of complex sounds, and many of the existing phonemes are growl-, roar-, or hiss-like. I tried to take into account the lions' "Pride mentality" with the addition of Singular, Plural, and Paucal numbers for pronouns and verbs. Additionally, the language makes three animacy distinctions: Animate, Inanimate, and Celestial. There is no way to communicate possession in Ralach, simply because lions do not presume to own anything.
I'll add more later.
