i'd be happy to learn to read write and speak with another basitin so with the keidran language and reading and writting so i could speak with natani and zen

ThirdKind

As someone who studies languages for fun I'd love to develop a Basitin tongue, if you're ever interested Tom🧐

Lord Chaos

Just some light reading before bed.

VGR

For a ‘quick’ sketch, you sure did a damn fine job drawing Natani’s face.

Glenn Sellers

You know you're in an over-regulated society when this is the easiest thing to learn to read.

Cliff Warden

I always thought of it as a dense language with a lot of honorifics that need to be juggled. Kinda like Japanese, in structure if not in sound.

Glenn Sellers

Ah, I love creating languages. I've created one for my "Marooned on Tashoo" story and I touched on another in a story I'm working on.

ThirdKind

If we're talking a language with thick honorifics then they'd probably be very similar to Korean I think there's like seven different ways you can address someone going all the way from a servant to an equal to your parents to a King to God that's the thing about the Asian languages they are very layered

Glenn Sellers

Ooh. You should see my Tashoonian language. I based it, very loosely, on Japanese. To my knowledge, there are no real Japanese words, though. I just used the consonant sound coupled with a vowel sound that they use.

So… is this the book that Lynn throws at Laura in my suggestion? Or does he throw the adult addition at her?

Nat: "You're sure you don't have anything... simpler?" Keith: "Not really. When I said that was the best book the Basitin had to offer, I meant that was our ONLY book. There are other editions, of course." Nat: "Your people made an entire written language just for one book of laws?" Keith: "Not JUST the book, no. There are also things like legal forms, court documents, Royal Council meeting minutes..." Nat: *Sighs.* "...And they say your people have no culture."

Roughlandin

Nat's tiny snarl of frustration is adorable! Nice touch with the missing chunk of his hair. Yay, continuity! XD Great job, Tom! Congrats, BlazingFoxSpirit!

Are there books or magazines with centerfolds? Look like 🦊

Jake the Dragon

Oh, you gotta do a side comic of her slowly changing over to the Basitin culture and have Keith going insane because of it

- K e i s e r - (TK is my life!)

Lol, today I started learning English too!) How do you know this, Tom?)) Well, apparently this is a sign that I'm on the right track!)

AlaricLives87

In Nat's defense for being a Gaston here, I bet that book reads like stereo instructions anyway.

Kapłan Sekty Pieczarek

Jade: *Talks something in Basitin* Nat: *Understand only three words - Keith, bed, ankles* Also Nat: "If you want to sleep with Keith, you have go through me!" Jade: *looks impressed and midly blushes* [Alright, I await for you and Keith in my chamber" Keith: *facepalm* Nat: "Wh-what did I say?" Keith: "You said, 'If you want to sleep with Keith, then only with me!'..."

Spartan277

Natston? can we get a full Parody song of that?

Spartan277

Wow.. no Basitin Dr Sues then?

Clover Kismet

Not in the East. Probably in the West though.

Clover Kismet

Give her a West basitin beach resort magazine, Keith..

Clover Kismet

Is Jade the rabbit, or is somebody else named Jade already? Love this btw.

CrRAR

Jade is King Adelaide’s first name. 👍

Muddypaws

Their entire culture based on one book? Hmmm... there was an old original Star Trek episode like that.

Muddypaws

Like a Basitin centerfold edition: any fully dressed Basitin, minus the ankle wrappings. Scandalous !

Nakayama Festa

The parody should be entirely in Keidran for authenticity

silver dragonia

do you think you could understand basitin text? i believe i could after a few months or years of trying to understand same with their language

Jeremias :P

How can you read this there's no pictures?
