Primal is a written and spoken language with its own unique alphabet and sentence structure. Among humans, Primal is a common tongue for the ‘furry’, ‘were’, and ‘otherkin’ communities. In a more general sense, it is a language of therianthropes: part-human, part-animal creatures, such as gargoyles, centaurs, and seraphim... Primal has a larger lexicon and a more complex system of grammatical construction than either Klingon or Quenya, allowing for a much broader variety of linguistic expression than either of these languages. Esperanto is a more difficult comparison, because its extensive lexicon and development basis puts it on par with natural languages like English. However, despite its size, Primal stands up well next to other natural languages. Although its lexicon is small for a natural language (around three thousand words), Primal's unique grammatical construction allows the same words to be combined in a wider variety of ways than many natural languages.”

i'm so glad i read far enough into that paragraph to be alerted to the fact that this is furry-related before i clicked on the link!!

i don't know if i actually want to know the answers but wtf are the 'were' and 'otherkin' communities?? no good can come of this i am sure - i am steeling myself for the worst, but suspect that this could plumb depths hitherto unimagined :/

I am pretty sure that 'otherkin' are foxes and lions TRAPPED IN HUMAN BODIES OMG. I should imagine that 'were' ppl are werewolves trapped in a human body omg.

Why do you never get a hamster trapped inside a human body, that's what I want to know (no Pet Shop Boys jokes pls)!

Haha no Alex, they do not just THINK that they are foxes and lions, they ARE foxes and lions etc etc. I think I ran away at this point too, although the little manga cartoons of lions etc are pretty.

I am inclined to agree with this assessment.

The list of words omitted from the first edition of the Primal Dictionary is my favourite bit.
