The language family of the Gl'lu sophonts, which can be heard across Deneb Sector and surrounding regions.
Gl'lu language has a slightly gurgling, popping quality.
The Gl'lu homeworld, Kubishush, suffers from rampant volcanism, which is sufficiently bad that their primary language has multiple words for 'destroyed by a volcano'. A Gl'lu can describe the exact circumstances and extent of damage, how long reconstruction or rehabitation will take, and the likelihood of a repeat eruption, in an impressive and grim shorthand that would be unnecessary elsewhere.
Lexicon[edit]
• Ewang'vn: Akin to fate
• Na: Particle meaning "one", as in a person, event, etc. worth noting for their particular qualities.
• Sananes: "Young One". Adolescent chief of state on Kubishush
• Unaga: "Exalted Ones". Elders with membership on the legislative body
• Unan Olov: The native Gl'lu name for Kubishush.
• Yulangngol: "Great Cataclysm". A natural disaster so great that even Gl'lu find it noteworthy; a once-in-several-generations catastrophe.
