A'oonirobi
🐸🐸🐸
Overview
A’oonirobi is a language spoken by humanoid frog people called the A'oonirob, but who are better known in the realm of Hepteidola as the Bonodu' from their cat person neighbors.
The language was technically first conceived on the ninth of May in 2018 and was initially called Udabunde (hence it's language code) and hosted originally over on ConWorkShop. At that time it was simply a randomly generated phonology and word list meant for minimal use by a grung NPC named ‘Bũqug in a home-brew Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
It was overhauled four years later in 2022 into a more fully fledged constructed language with actual grammar and conscript.
