Daraguinian Language; Caltuang
Here I am again writing about my made-up language for my story: Daragiun Island Series. Not only does it help with the world-building of my story Bottle of Stories and Daragiun Island, but it also makes a certain world different from each other so please look forward to my other languages.
Caltuang is based on the word "cat language" because the vowels look like a cat's eyes. Structure-wise, it is almost the same with English with some words are scrambled to make a new sound. So it still can be used in the story without the scrambling because the focus of Caltuang is the characters. I'm still writing translations that will be updated the same way with Tokun Language.
If I'm going to be honest, this was an easier language to make because the main focus is how it will look visually. It also helped me write the title Daragiun Island of course because it is so hard to make unique titles unless I made one right? Looking at you Atomynous and Rabden.
This language is also inspired by the names of characters in the 4th arc of Bottle of Stories; their names are based on condiments but scrambled.
