The gas giant dwelling, squidlike Hee'Dra speak in a language that is translated as a sing-song, poetic style, but I have the Saurians (saurian Mafia bosses), the Kon'ta/Py'ron (maybe the most alien of all the races in the FOTS Universe - they are 6-limbed (2 arms, 4 legs ending in spikes), exoskeletal beings whose bodies are made of of essentially ball-bearings), the Kahs (Neanderthal-like fuedal warlords; maybe with a Mongolian clan style to them), the Grymphon (grasshopper like aliens with a communal harmonic sense and a deified ruler), the Machines (well, they speak binary or some version of it probably), the Swarm (a cross-species infectious metamorphic hiveminded virus-based life form that probably speaks the language of any sentient it has absorbed), and finally the Arachnids (gotta' think up a new name for them; their body plan is base-5 - 5 limbs w/5 appendages each, 5 eyes, etc.; they have no problem with eating other sentient species as they see everything as potential food sorces (the Q'Tez view insectile aliens as food)), and recently the Rrowlk'aa (canines), the Dwa'Kim (dry-winged saurians somewhat bulkier than the Saurians who look like velociraptors), and the Jareen'qwar (caterpillar-like).<BR/><BR/>Then, of course, there are all the human languages and blendings...fotsgreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601175444062043575noreply@blogger.com
