About Brozhalika
This honestly is less a full-on language and more a combination of what was originally supposed to be Jutsaish (including the bilabial flaps and creaky liquids, used in several original Jutsaish planet names), original Bryozhalika (a system originally used to explain my planet names in universe sandbox, which honestly was more haphazard and far less accurate than intended, and had voiceless liquids and many vowels), Oram-Haden (my first-ever writing system after Entogan and second-oldest I still have on record; the glottal stop and voiceless vowels were integral to its original form), and Khanifast (my first attempt at evolving a language, which I ended up thinking of as too bland and unsightly; but I did take inspiration from it in explaining how voiceless liquids died in a completely unrelated way to the emergence of creaky ones).
Overall, it's still a complete mishmash, and is mostly just there as a reference guide for Universe Sandbox names.
