About Niaoshian
Niaòça is a fantasy language to represent a race of felines from a nation called Niaò Xiū
This started as a blatant Arabic rip-off o represent this race, which unintentionally ended up sounding like Ta'agra, a language also used for a feline race.
This language emerged from the concept of designing a language that theoretically could be spoken by creatures of a feline's oral anatomy. Therefore, the language has no labial sounds and also has a large palatal focus instead.
