Kalash

Kalash is the language spoken by the primarily by the Kalari. Kalash has both spoken and bodily components. Often, the vocal sounds convey the concepts being communicated while frill moment, color changes, and body posture often convey tone or other context. It is difficult for non-kalari to communicate in Kalash in full, however, many who regularly deal with Kalari caravans often learn a rudimentary form called "Low-Kalash" which is comprised only of the verbal components. 


Kalash is broken up into single syllable parts. Typically, two of these parts will form a  single word. Kalash is described as high-pitched and frantic, although this could be mistaking the speaker for the language. 

Kalash has no written component, with many of its histories, poetry and legends being first translated before being transcribed. Instead, most Kalash is written in Al'Quami script to crudely imitate the sounds. Since written Kalash is mostly used for trade and accounting, the finer social cues are lost without much impact.
