About Tirëlat
Tirëlat is the most fully developed of my languages, which I've been working on since 1999 (off and on). It started as more of a personal language until 2004, when I adopted it as a Sangari language. The Sangari are furry humanoid people with four-fingered hands, a bit shorter than humans on average. They have tetrachromatic vision and can see into the near ultraviolet range, but they can't see red light. Lately I've been using Tirëlat for song translations as well as a couple of original songs.
