Foxspeak
Foxspeak (Az’s idiolect) is a linguistic construct I am unsure how to classify loosely based on furspeak.
Vocalisations
Vocalisations come in two intensities: lowercase (normal meaning) and uppercase (intensified meaning).
- a - acknowledgement call
- aa - alert call
- aaa - alarm call
So “AAA” could be considered extreme distress or imminent danger.
Pronouns
First-person pronouns all simplify to fox.
Third-person pronouns always use they/them, never gendered pronouns.
