The main language used in the Kingdom of Neshaten
Shukaren and My'leke both speak Tinacen, which is a language that is a combination of their original two seperate languges: Shukati and Mylena. Their two languages were merged long after the two races became allies, and was done in order to make it easier for the two sides to co-exist, this was known briefly as the Era of Merging, which lasted forty one years and resulted in the Neshaten nearly reforming their language.
What you'll find here is information related to Tinacen, and the body gestures and language utilized by both the My'leke (Species) and Shukaren (Species).
Unlike most races, the Neshaten express a wide range of emotions and expressions through their body language and rarely in spoken or written words, because of this, it is important for people to understand how the flick of an ear may actually appear verus the stilling of a tail.
An example being that for the Shukaren, a still tail means that they are either curious or indifferent. On the other hand, for a My'leke a still tail means fear or that they are scared of something. In other words, the tail's motion is entirely different between the two species.
