About Sakawi MKII
Sakawi is an extinct language spoken by an ethnic group of two-horned long-longs, an extinct intellectual being of the 8th world.
Two-horned long-longs were divided into multiple ethnic groups(rather than true species) like human beings, so they have different cultures and different languages like human beings.
as the two-horned long-longs had become extinct long before human beings appeared in the 8th World, Sakawi is extinct now.
Sakawi has unusual phonemes(Front rounded vowels, thorns(dental non-sibilant fricatives, that is, /θ/ and /ð/), doubly-articulated consonants and trilled affricates) and has verbs whose actual meanings depend on the closeness between the speaker and the arguments in a sentence in which the verbs are used. Moreover, Sakawi is an active-stative language in terms of alignment, and is highly head-marking.
Lonmai Luna has many words from Sakawi, and Sakawi is one of the main source of borrowing of Lonmai Luna, many Nevotak words in Lonmai Luna were borrowed through Sakawi, as Sakawi itself has borrowed many words from Nevotak.
