Hanahan languages and dialects

The Hanahan are a bipedal reptilian species found on their native planet of Fanato and found throughout the Talin Galaxy. Characterized by their nasal valves, ringed eyelids, scaly ear flaps, noticeably spikes on the limbs, stubby tails, and fine body scales and - on average - standing at 1.8 metres. Regarded as technologically primitive compared to other species with most developments in transportation and resource extraction, Hanahan are also quite religious and clan-divided with hierarchies, often relying on old codes and rules overseen by the priesthood. The Hanahan primarily live in subterranean systems but a few modern cities now exist on the surface. On other planets, Hanahan can be found as miners, labourers, security, and most menial professions however most possess keen eyesight and smell and great memory.

Society

Hanahanese society has traditionally featured clan membership, social status and caste hierarchies.

Culture

Language

The Hanahan natively speak the Hanahanese - a group of closely related Hanahanese languages and dialects spread across the planet of Fanato but a unifying language (known as ꖕꕯꕺꕓ-ꗛ-ꕔꗱꕔꕓ; Kufufon-nan-hanahan; 'Language of the Hanahan') in the form of Standard Hanahanese has emerged. The written form uses the Standard Hanahan Script (ꖕꕯꖴ-ꗛ-ꕔꗱꕔꕓ; Kufu-nan-hanahan; 'Script of the Hanahan') which was introduced as a unifying script for all Hanahanese languages and dialects.

The Standard Hanahanese Script (shortened to SHS) was created in the 2520s AHT by Pawafohanōhān Puputonṣanōhānhanato who argued for the prospects of a united Hanahan nation amongst the clans through a standard language and script. Beforehand, several clans developed their own scripts whilst some lacked one instead relying on oral communication. SHS is a syllabary written from left to right that consists of 116 basic syllables and other logograms and symbols.

Clothing

Traditional attire among the Hanahan is quite conservative with both sexes expected to wear robes that cover the body and practical headwear. Face veils are also worn though only for important reasons. There are several differences between male and female attire and caste and religion also affect the choice of clothing with more elegant and intricately-detailed clothes worn by the higher castes and the priesthood and more simplistic clothes worn by the lower castes. In recent decades clothing from outside of Fanato has influenced modern attire, especially in more-developed areas.
