Kohtohkhan Raptoric

General

Kohtohkhan Raptoric is a saurian language which originated on the planet Dincota. It sounds like a mix of Japanese syllables, Slavic and Russian sounds and the occasional Latinesque pronounciation.

The language uses more than 55 different sounds, (English has about 26), 4 Written connotative modifiers (which are similar to the 4 tones in Mandarin Chinese, but instead of tones, these elements are invoked with words which also correlate to colors)

Kohtohkhan Raptoric is written in an hybrid alphabetical/syllabary system which is based on the draconic writting system: Clawrite. The Kohtohkhan version of this system is called H-Clis. It functions as both an alphabet and as a "contextual syllabary" where letters are combined into geometrically-arranged super-glyphs which form more sounds and establish contextual connotation in the written language.

Some of the common Kohtohkhan sounds not present in English in their English equivalent notation:

 td  (pronounced 'da')
 iy  
 yy
 yl
 yr
 ryyt (pronounced 'ree-it'
 yon  
 ron
 ton
 ht  (pronounced 'hit' with diminished 'i')
 

Despite that Kohtohkhan is spoken by some dinosaurians (specifically raptors and other traditionally carnivorous theropods and dromeosaurs), it has nothing linguistically in common with Dinosaur Language or Juunia Those other saurian languages do, however share some elements in common with Dibochar, a language which is basically a mix of Juunia and Kohtohkhan.
