About Unguline
This is a language I am creating for my friend, who is trying to make a movie (which by the way I'm acting in). Unguline is an alien language, spoken by a race of sentient, omnivorous and superintelligent bovines from a parallel version of Earth. The human slave race on this alternate Earth speak a dialect of Unguline called Slave Tongue. It is agglutinative and elocution involves no variety of tone shift, thereby making the whole language droning and grating to the human ear. Many vowels in Unguline are creaky-voiced.
To make up for this, Unguline will actually be quite easy to learn and speak; we do have to voice-act this, after all.
