I was actually thinking I might do something like just make up gibberish words that sound like the sort of thing that Xaela look like they would say, and then send whispers to whoever I'm talking to with the translation. At least when talking in the racial langauge while around others who wouldn't understand it.Â
I feel like Xaela would have a language with a lot of short words and hard consonants. "Dahk, na. Ko vra nai, dra ke? Kah, lo vos, va." Something like that.Â
Might be too tedious to come up with made-up words on the fly.
edit: Of course, with their horns able to pick up very specific sounds, and having tails, they might use a lot of really subtle gestures and body language as part of communication, so the actual sentence structure might be very short and simple with nearly as much conveyed without words.
