Fiction:Antroth Empire/Language

The Antroths use a language known as Farmanese to communicate verbally. Because their mouths and tongues are shaped differently from that of mammals such as humans, Farmanese words are difficult to pronounce.

Farmanese uses a lot of prefixes to assign meaning to words. An "X" indicates something specific to females or something that is predominately associated with females. A "T" indicates something associated with males.
