Phonology
[view]Phonological System: UixoWIP.Two different but similar species use this phonological system: the Oceanites and their descendants, the Uixo.
The Oceanites are deep-sea dwelling monsters known for their strength and their vaguely humanoid appearance. They live in deep ocean trenches and rarely come to the surface.
Uixo are a slimy, cave-dwelling species known for being reclusive and shy. They live in near continuous dark or twilight condition, but they are able to see somewhat thanks to an organ on their head called a luminent. Their vision is not the best, but it works for what they need.
Both species have an organ called a luminent, which they use to produce flashes of light in various colors. Their vocal apparatus is not very different from humans; the main distinction comes from the use of lunemes, but neither species can make very loud sounds like humans can.
