Constructed Floran Language

[GrandPiano]

there have been cases of Florans learning other languages (seemingly English), so there is no reason not to believe they can't make sounds similar to humans

And yet it doesn't matter what <r> sound they can make? Although they all sound "r-like" and they all tend to be represented by the letter <r> in the Latin alphabet, the English "r", the Spanish trilled "r(r)", and the French "r" are all quite different.

"s" is elongated and that's enough to qualify as sibilance in my book

So, "sibilance" means "elongated" in your book? I'm sorry, but that's not what it means at all.

How does negation work in the Floran language?

you are assuming an existing language feature would also exist in an alien language, something you don't appear to condone
there is no concept of "negation" as such

"Negation" is just saying that something isn't true. The Floran language clearly has negation to some degree, since it has separate ways of expressing "have" or "not have". Are you saying that, for any given sentence in Floran, you can't also necessarily say the opposite? There's no way to say "I'm not eating a human"?

it doesn't matter what "r" sound they make at this point, use whatever one you prefer

correcting for semantics is not in my interest

"Negation" is just saying that something isn't true. The Floran language clearly has negation to some degree, since it has separate ways of expressing "have" or "not have".

you consider "have" and "not have" to be a term and its negation when they are simply two different terms altogether
do not consider Floran within the same bounds as English
terms will be added and cases considered as the need arises
