#Conglangity 9!

Handspeak uses the same double/single movement as ASL with nouns and verbs.

Nouns= double movement
Verbs= single movement

I show you what that looks like in today's video :3

This is largely a #boomspoil but I'll spare the details. All of the languages of the hominid races in #NapCityBeats are based on proto-indo-European (for now). If a similar Asian grandparent existed, i would have used that as well, but so far no shared ancestor has been determined.

I had to make new words 🥳

I actually like the way these sound too.
Two greetings in Nivani "salvimase" (sal-weh-ma-se) and "heuchiwa"
(heyoo-chi-wa) welcome and hello. And a farewell "valunara"(wal-oon-ara) goodbye. With the consonant rule "heuchiva" and "valunala"

Ooooo. Experimental stuff that I am not sure of. Since one of the ingredients to Nivani is latin it actually has stress rules. This is where i would need to pay attention to where any penults or dipthongs might be. With the exception to the end of a high nivani word.

I touched on this a bit the other day when I mentioned Nivani being vowel heavy and there are consonants that are preferred. This doesn't necessarily mean other consonants are discarded entirely. They will just almost never use them. There are a few reasons

Intimidating yet interesting charts! I wasn't even aware of those.

So I will be lacking visual aids for the most part. Nivani is a vowel heavy language. Double vowels are normal. Consonants are possible but n,m,s,f,h,l,v are generally the only ones used if I can get away with it
