Taurahe


 * ''This page draws heavily from the Taurahe page at Wowwiki.

Taurahe is the language spoken by the Tauren. Taurahe does not have an official writing system, because during the nomadic period of the race (which is pretty much all of it), writing was difficult. Carrying around large tomes and stacks of paper are too inconvenient for a race always on-the-move. There has also historically been little reason to write: even children are familiar with the traditional stories and histories, and if anyone felt compelled to write, pictoforms were more convenient. After all, the words themselves are never as important as the ideas they communicate. To a tauren, a drawing of the herd travelling under the sun tells just as much as a whole book could.

Phonology
In order to communicate the language visually, a writing system must be created around the spoken word. Fortunately, this allows us to build a simpler system, intentionally crafting a straightforward system that avoids things like silent letters and unintuitive spelling.

Consonants

 * [] represents /ʃt/ or /st/
 * The tick (`) is unpronounced and occurs at the beginning of a word that would otherwise start with a vowel.

Vowels
The four vowels are fairly fluid in their pronunciation.

Orthography
Taurahe uses a basic CV([r], [m]) syllable form. The majority of words are CVCV.

Hi,

Excuse me because I asking you for my demand (numbers from your conlang(s)) in this page. I think to send my message on your e-mail. But nowhere I didn't see information about your e-mail. First introduce: My name is Janko. I'm collecting numbers from various systems in different languages. You can found information about my self and my work on:

Please you tell me if you'll have numbers in Taurahe, or from your others conlang(s) in future. Could you please send me numbers from 1 to 10 (as in English: 1 –one, 2 – two, 3 – three,…) in Taurahe, or from your others conlang(s) on this page or my e-mail address: "j_gorenc@yahoo.com"?

Please you delete my text with your page when you'll have numbers.

Thank you for your help!

I wish you a lot of success at your work!
