About Bīkomasu Meljua
One of the many languages of the Meljua, a cat like people in my fantasy world (their looks are very similar to the Khajiit from the Elder Scrolls). The Meljua language family is the most diverse of all the races and I only chose to do this one because it is the main language of the Bīko, a race of Meljua who make up the majority of the population of the major city of Ushě. Unlike most of my other languages this is not a good representation of the entire language family, as the family is so broad.
