Sehali language
From Conlangs
Sehali [sjɛˈħaˌlγi] is a language spoken by reptilian people of the same name. Very nomadic, the Sehali are known variously as raiders, traders, and slavers, although make their home mostly in the Miuxleb Plains, controlling major tradeways between the Copper Mountains and the Great East Plateau. Their articulators differ to some extent from humans, but not so greatly that their languages are unintelligible or unlearnable to one another.
