I thought the main language of Sekowo would be Anantonese considering most Sekowons are the decendants of Kalistani settlers? 28 June 2007-Big-G


I wasn't aware of any history of Sekowo besides the one in the present. Tsekwon can be descendant from any number of languages; you should edit the brief historical preface to best fit with the generally agreed upon history. On the other hand, I'm aware that there were natives on the continent before the colonization. Perhaps Tsekwon has arisen from those? In any case, Tsekwon is a revived ancient language of some sort (like modern Hebrew). --Imperium 16:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah okay I've fitted it into the history of the region. For when your writing future pages Sekowo is in an area that used to be called Shinjala, lived in by people known as Shinjalans who had a sort of city state system, in terms of real life native groups I think that mesoamericans would probably be a good fit. It was then colonised mainly by people from Kalistan and after it's independence could be considered as Terra's version of Latin America. The language was never defined though as far as I'm aware so it's okay to come up with one. I'll probably be writing a history of pre-colonisation Dovani sometime soon so the history of Sekowo may become more clear.

That's a great fit actually, because Tsekwon has many of the characteristics of Mayan or Epi-Olmec, such as the glottal consonants and the ergative-absolutive verb system. "Shinjala" is also a fitting name on account of the the /sh/ and /j/ sounds. --Imperium 05:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I just replaced the tables of consonants and vowels to the best of my ability, though I'm somewhat unsure what sound you meant j to represent. I also removed the Rhotic retroflex as it corresponds to the voiced uvular affricate.--Duke Atreides 9:50 PM PDT 29/07//07
