This novel is set in the Kormar countryside where the native language is
|
||
|
|
Lorban. This is notionally translated into English, but there are certain
|
||
|
|
quirks of the language that stand being called out.

<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Lorban is roughly based on a casual form of Lojban.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Names rarely start or end with vowels and native speakers have trouble
|
||
|
|
with Miwāfu vowel endings.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Lorban is accentless which causes trouble with Miwāfu array of tones.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
The letter “c” is soft and always pronounced as
|
||
|
|
“sh” in “shape.”
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Lorban has no capital letters, they are added to satisfy English
|
||
|
|
conventions.
