Example of a AFAB Yantan, shown by dull, light colouring with few brighter coloured scales, specifically around the face and lower talons. Similar to humans and lions, Yantans have also been seen with traits belonging to the other sex or sexes. Yantans have also been shown in polyamorous and LGBTQ+ relationships (all without prejudice, which xenobiologists and xenopsychologists have found extremely interesting).

Got Yanta

Main Language of the Yantans

Yantans have a strange language, wherein most of the language is the equivalent to sign- but it is also near-universal throughout all dindeg (the name of native groups, with the closest translation coming to 'trustworthy'). The only place where difference is widely clear is spoken language! 

A few things are consistent throughout all Yantan languages:

Present 

 No affix


yiyán /ˈjijɑn/


Past  

 If ends with vowel: Suffix -ti
Else: Suffix -ɛti


yiyáneti /ˈjijɑˌnɛti/

 

Future tense is indicated with the particle:

Future particle  

 la /læ/

Adjective → noun

 Suffix -ak


Noun → adjective

 Prefix e-


Noun → verb

If ends with vowel: Suffix -nho
Else: Suffix -anho


Verb → noun

 Suffix -an

Prefix a-

Prefix i-

Suffix -ɑ


One who Xs (e.g. paint → painter) 

If ends with vowel: Suffix -g
Else: Suffix -ɑg


Place of (e.g. wine → winery) 

Suffix -at
Diminutive = Prefix ɑ-
Augmentative = If ends with vowel: Suffix -hɑ

Can they fly?

Yantans cannot fly, but they can glide! They have long spires in the centre of their towns that they climb up to glide from. It's more efficient than walking! ^^

Their language is pretty complicated. Is it even something humans can learn?

Possibly, although they would have to wear fake wings to be able to communicate correctly. :)

Most of Got Yanta is sign language. As Yantans do not have hands (they have wings), a human would need to wear wings to simulate that. :D
