About Homeworld (OLD)
Homeworld Chozo is the original unified Chozo language. It was spoken on the Chozo Homeworld before a mass migration to Zebes and the subsequent mass overhaul of the language into what then became
Zebesian (OLD) Chozo. It is the primary inspiration of the spoken constructed language used by the Chozo on Tallon IV,
Talloric Chozo.
