Vasati
The original language of the Vasati people, spoken by all the tribespeople of the United Tribes of Mare'n, even the humans who have assimilated into the tribal society.
Phonology
One of the biggest differences in written language and pronounciation between Vasati and Common is how double vowels are treated. In Vasati, double vowels are pronounced as the long version of the single vowel, and the second iteration of the letter is dropped entirely from written language in favor of an apostrophe. Some examples:
"Khaar" is written "Kha'r" and pronounced "Care"
"Mareen" is written "Mare'n" and pronounced "Mare-een"
"Hariit" is written "Hari't" and pronounced "Hare-ite"
"Mooven" is written "Mo'ven" and pronounced "Moe-ven"
"Bhouun" is written "Bhou'n" and pronounced "Bo-yune"
"Khaar" is written "Kha'r" and pronounced "Care"
"Mareen" is written "Mare'n" and pronounced "Mare-een"
"Hariit" is written "Hari't" and pronounced "Hare-ite"
