Day 9 - Language

EDIT: Okay, I mis-read the 30 Days of Worldbuilding exercise for this day. Apparently I was only supposed to come up with the general sound of the language and some syables. Well, you can see the sylables in the words I provided, but I'll give you a bit more of the sound of the language in orange.

The Common language of Wispollil is the language of the Forest People (hereafter called by their name Fidchin). The language is called Slansus (meaning our manner of speech). I actually have much more than this, but this will give a taste.

The map is rather difficult to label so I'll give the list and label it later.

SOUND
- Sounds like leaves rustling in the breeze or a brook
- Fidchin pronounce vowells as thinner and lighter, Golchin pronounce them as longer and lower (Ne-vah-dah, not Nevada)
- Soft stops common (B, P, D)
- High vowells common (I, E, A)
