Yongasabi, Slugcat language of the Rain World Undergrowth AU
Yongasabi originally started as an attempt to turn Rain World's glyphs into a functioning writing system for the slugcats, and that eventually inspired me to make a language for the writing system to support. As it grew, it became increasingly intertwined with my own ideas for Rain World worldbuilding, and my own project, the Undergrowth AU.
Now I'm publicly opening my language to the Rain World fandom! Seven months of work from start to the official release, with fully functioning grammar and over 1500 documented words just at the time of writing this post, I'm excited to finally release this language for other people to view, and potentially even use.
Note that Yongasabi is made with the Undergrowth AU (which is an anthro AU) in mind. It presupposes that the slugcats are humanoid, and their technological development is further along than in the game. Despite that, the language should be otherwise applicable to regular slugcats.
While Yongasabi has been developed through the lens of my own projects (Rain World Undergrowth AU and its worldbuilding) and understanding of Rain World's themes and lore, it's something I want to be accessible to the entire community. Consider it something of a gift. Anyone has permission to use Yongasabi in their projects—credit would be appreciated, and I would actually be so excited if you messaged me to let me know what you were doing. If I'm available, I can translate things too, if you need, or explain concepts from the document. Just send it to me and I'll see what I can do! Good luck!

Made a writing system for my current (and longest) conlang project, Gwalha Bamöc [ˈgwal.ɬa ˈba.mɤt͡ʃ]. Pjolëka [ˈpjo.lɛ.ka] is a simple alphabetical script, written and read right to left, utilized by my conlang, and its daughter languages.

Lexember Day 12

Nd() ku-tsn̄ (pp)
/ˌǹ̩d ˌkù ˈt͡sń̩/
Resultative phrase
to hatch, to be born
Infinitive resultative procedural prefix nd- + ku "out of" + tsn̄ "seraph egg" (lit. "to become/emerge out of an egg").
Cuc ednr ğodzafl ku-tsn̄ tn-łxāl!
"I didn't hatch yesterday, you know!"
Seraphim are born from eggs (usually in clutches of 5-12), so this was a straightforward enough phrase to cook up. The funny thing about it too is, seraphim are also the kinda of creatures to die a few hours after procreating, so no seraphim has ever actually even met their parents. At least, not alive. And this of course fueled a lot of mythology and folklore. In some cultures, the souls of the parents will flow into and be reborn as their children. In others, the place where the parents died is a sacred family location where their spirits linger and watch over their descendants. It changes from place to place, and culture to culture.

Allegedly, some places are not very good at this and can cause everything to break.
