About Doja
It's a language spoken by desert people...so Arabic...but less harsh...slightly...it's based on the vocabulary of Moroccan Arabic, Spanish, and Luiseño. I just picked Arabic because desert, and Spanish and Luiseño because my girlfriend lives in California, and I figured it'd probably be good to actually base it on some natlangs if I want a natural feel.
Sample of DojaCan't find any yet.
