Sha'Kar's basis?

Post by Mandorin »

I noticed some similarities between Sha'Kar and Japanese, though Sha'Kar looks like it's much more difficult, and my Japanese is pretty poor. Just wondering if that was indeed the language you used as a base model?

Sha'Kar is moded on Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.

Both use pictographic written languages. It is well documented that the most ancient peoples used pictoform writing, and the Sha'Kar, through their Urzani ancestors, is a twenty thousand year old race.

Modes of address is built on Japanese polite forms.

Basic grammar, language structure, and rules are a mixture of Japanese and Chinese.
