Language Typefictional language
EditorialInspired by Sanskrit, Hindi-Urdu and other Indian languages, Mango is the language of the Tiger people of planet Pii, featured in a personal roleplaying game. Tigers' respect for nature, women and agriculture rules the Mango language. Their disgust for crimes of violence, the Leopard people and their sneering attitude for literacy and studying are also reflected in their language. The lexicon has over 10,000 words.
UniquenessIt's the only language most of the Tiger people of planet Pii can speak-) Isn't that unique? About characteristics; Tiger people systematically refuse to pronounce or write strange names and foreign words "correctly". They do it on their own way. Tigers' respect for nature, women and agriculture rules the Mango language. Their disgust for crimes of violence, the Leopard people and their sneering attitude for literacy and studying are also based in their language. The calendar in Mango and complicated mathematics are little developed, as they aren't needed in the Tiger culture. There is very large relative vocabulary, words like "sister's husband's grandmother" which are commonly used. There is only one irregular verb in Mango. That's -he, "to be". It doesn't conjugate in persons. There are three different conjugations for plural third personal pronouns.
Language SourcesSanskrit, Hindi-Urdu and other Indian languages as I'm an India freak.
Design Principles1) To create a language to Tiger people living in an artificial world in a role playing game. 2) To do something creative and fun. 3) To tell myself "Hey, you are the best Mango speaker in whole world! You are the guru!" when I feel down.
Interest Of OthersAs this language is created for our own roleplaying game, other players are interested a bit. Some other pals of mine have also asked lots of questions about Mango. Though, nobody has learnt Mango but me.
