Takavonai (Language)

Poku Afirmu (Clan Crest) Takavonai or “speech of the people” is the language of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo. It is pronounced as tă-kă-vōnăē. The language dates back to the time before the Norka (The Exodus). The language of the Clan also includes Physical Displays.

Language Forms

There are three forms of the language used by the Poku'vonai. But communications is not just about the words, but gestures and mannerisms can alter the meaning of some phrases.

Gestures

These are some of the more common gestures or mannerisms used in conversation.

Common Tongue

This is the colloquial way of speaking, for all normal day to day communications.

Formal Tongue

Formal Tongue is a more archaic form of their language. It would be the difference between modern English, and Old English. It is only used during rituals.

Battle Tongue

Is a shortened way of phrasing things for concise battle commands. It is not for normal conversation use. Example:

Ten-hut is an American military term that means, “Come to attention!” Wikipedia
