Teotkoa
Names and titles of things have always been the bane of my creative endeavors, so when I finally land on a proper name for me, it's kinda a big deal.
Had these with the slag term Mutakar for ages (as in Mutant Ertakar, Ertakar being the species) but I never liked it and always intended to replace it.
I finally think I've settled on Teotkoa

I think I'll still keep the term Mutakar kicking around as something humans will throw around (most Ertakar aren't fond of it surprise surprise)
I've been weighing back and forth on what I want to even title the story. I've settled on whatever it is either needs to be the name of the team Talon is on, or it needs to be a word or phrase that encapsulates the concept of "Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" or "The actions of the past will linger in our future" or just anything that encapsulates the concept of the ripple effect of choices made. (and no not anything like butterfly effect because no one is going back into the past)
Current dominate Ertakar language consists of a lot of hard sounds, K, T, L, X, are both very common letters
names such as Xiktali, Koxiksys, Tlakanok originate from this language
There is another Ertakar language spoken in this part of the planet and it often has softer sounds and shorter words/names. You'll see a lot more D, N, and R
names such as Esurda, Dorren, Siris, Neijah, originate from this language
This 'softer' language is actually the older one, even if it's not more dominant in this region, and is the origin of the planet name Sytous as well as the familiar pronoun set e/en/es/esif
And I need to make actual terms for each language so that I can discuss them better.
I think the name Jesuret originates from a different language I haven't really defined now but it's less common in this location.
Also trying to figure out what limitations in sounds there'd be simply due to the fact that they have, yanno muzzles.
All languages avoid sounds similar to TH as the sound is difficult to reproduce with their mouth shape and really only sounds more like SH if attempted. There really isn't a G used in their language, rather everything is more related to J sounds, producing human words with G will sound more J and words ending in ING usually sound more like IN. Most human words with C are replaced with the letter that makes the same sound, either K or S. There is no Z in the language, any instance there may be a Z is replaced with an X.
Oh I realize they probably can't pronounce B sounds very well with muzzles.
