Omonkwi

Revision as of 19:39, 24 September 2020 by Nicomega (talk | contribs)

Omonkwi started as an early attempt to capture the sounds I liked from mesoamerican indigenous languages via a poorly pronounced (by my high-school teacher) version of deity names in the Popol Vuh. Names such as Vucub Caquix, Cabrakán, Zipacná and Chilmamat. It can be viewed as a weird kind of homage, trying to create a language out respect for it but not having the materials to know more about it, something common before the rise of the internet as we know it.

Sample:
ipāgnat šival gōkwili
Mountains (are) the jaws of the Earth.
