About Komatunese
So this is just my first conlang basically
I have a very simple idea of what the world of this language is like, and the culture of the people who speak it etc, but nothing very detailed.
Generally, i believe they live in a hmid, litoranean, tropical enviromment, have a lot of religious practices and beliefs envolving nature and spirituality (duh), and they probaly count a population of 3k-5k native speakers?
Their technology is not extremely advanced, but they have quite a lot of thing in their knowledge, specially regarding the sea, the forests, animals and magic....
Mostly a language that is gonna change a lot probably, and i'm mostly playing around with all these things,, anyways but hopefully it can grow with the community of this site!
