About Setarian
ameqwuma!
Welcome!
Meta information:
I'm eventually going to use this language for my own story/media, so I highly recommend against borrowing words.
I also am bad at linguistics in actuality, but have a drive to create languages with a kind of logic. It might be my own warped logic- but hey!
Furthermore I think my pronunciation is off, and my American accent is a bit thick, so don't mind the recordings too much? Hahaha~
