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 [[w:Popol Vuh|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. | '''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 [[w:Popol Vuh|Popol Vuh]].
