About Proto-Imperial Kreen
-Polysynthetic as fuck
-Extremely complex spatial deixis
-Edible/Inedible gender system, Inedible nouns plural by default & have special singulative marker
-The proto-language shared by the Thri-Kreen and Tash-Kreen near the Misted Coast and along the Yââlgū (Greydew in Opalescent Elvish, known to the Kreen as the Xwć'zdgtwk' 'Moonsblood' ) River, persisted throughout the mass enslavement of the Kreen under the Opal Throne and, after the Slave Revolt, Great Hunt and Scouring of the South, became spoken in a much wider area as the victorious ex-slaves - made up of 75% Thri-Kreen and Tash-Kreen alongside minorites of Humans, Dragonborn, Dwarves and Halflings - settled the areas that had been cleansed of their indigenous Elven populations. It developed a rich written tradition and eventually formed the core of the now-widespread Kethtian family.

Phonology
[view]Phonological System: Thri-KreenUses the KPA by u/MobiusFlip (https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/6p59py/comment/dkn2elg) with a few slight modifications (dividing Ligular into Glossic and Paraglossic and less vibratives). All credit goes to them.Glossic - involves the Glossa
Paraglossic - involves Paraglossa
Vibratives - made by rapidly vibrating certain body parts
Spiraculatives - made by forcing air through spiracles, distinguished by degree of spiracle closure, so s5 is 50% closure, etc.
