Karokano
Language of the Forest

by @Muffin_Soul

~ + Overview + ~

Karokano is a language spoken by the People of the Canopy (a tribe of living nuts, berries and pine cones, Karokano being their endonym), of the fictional Blooming Wood. It uses a logographic system.

~ + Phonetic Inventory + ~

This site might come in handy.

Karokano’s repertoire of sounds is, relative to other languages, rather small. It consists of the following:

Consonants Bilabial Alveolar Palatal Velar
Nasal m n
Plosive p k
Approximant j
Flap ɾ¹
  1. Represented by the grapheme “r” in romanization

Vowels Front Back
Close i u
Close-mid o
Open a

Update: Karokano is f@#&*%@ dead smh

It was a bit too ambitious for my first Conlang, so I’m on another project for now called “Proto-Vlori”, which is actually tied to another bigger worldbuilding project so it’s less likely I abandon this one.

How are both projects going so far?

question: languages like Japanese and this may cause word-overflowing(or whatever it calls) problem. This is kinda (C)V, and given sounds are heavily too less. there are only 24 available syllables, and you give a sybmol(eg. あ cause I cannot type characters from your language lol) to it,just imagine a sentence: "A quick fox jumps over the lazy dog".

Tbh the sound inventory is kinda small, but this is only the protolanguage (i assume), so there’s still plenty of space to add more

but this is CV...

I'm assuming that (C)V(N)(N) is better(eg Kimnarn [kim'naɾn] idrk the point of the stress)

Avatar of SheepAndCircuses

I abandoned this language months ago lmao

Thanks for the suggestions, though, I’ll keep them in mind for future conlangs! ( What was I thinking when I gave this 6 consonants ;-; )

I’m developing two actually, one for personal use and one for a fictional world I’m making >:]
