About Tekalese
Kwame e fa'a so!
(Welcome and have light!)
(This is really a photo of Nan Madol but let's imagine it's the ruins of Tekaland's 3rd dynasty)
Tekalese (Tata'ala'o) is a second attempt at a naturalistic, majority CV, language that I'm making for fun and personal use.
Tekalese was originally registered as
Proto-Tekalese, however it was incredibly unpolished and not well thought out so I made an executive decision to abandon the original Tekalese, round out the grammar off-site, and reregister it as a new language profile which is what you're seeing now!
More info will be provided once I finish importing and touching up the rest of the words from Proto-Tekalese.
