itty bitty kitty languages
in my head,all the clans have different accents and speaking patterns and dialects. not like human accents though,like cat speak accents.
thunderclan sounds are big and clear,they have very strong voices,but not necessarily pretty or particularly pleasant. they’re very chatty,big on the chatter sound.
riverclan is very talkative and they speak in a very stream of consciousness manner,however they also speak very slowly. riverclan really values language. shit like that.
shadowclan in my head. just sounds russian? like, that doesnt make sense,l emme explain: they have very hard stops in their language, like you KNOW when a shadowclanner starts and stops speaking,but occasionally they have very heavy pauses to lead into another point. they also talk with their paws a lot,but it’s more subtle sort of micro-movements. like they’ll knead their paws on the ground,they’ll twitch their tails. it kinda makes them look highstrung but they communicate with each otehr just fine. shadowclan doesnt have a very verbal
windclan’s speaking pattern is very terse but also very flowy,like a breeze in the wind.
skyclan is cute as shit to me. they do a lot of chirrups and chirps and trills,which basically means they often use a lot of short,quick,inflective senteces. this sounds a bit strange and childish or somewhat condescending though though due to sounding like a lead in to meowing (as in “MEOW”) ,which cats only really do with their kittens. they also do the “mao”,small but clear sounds to grab someone’s attention
Tigerclaw has a very quintessential Thunderclan accent and dialect that he lords over others,even in Shadowclan where he sounds unnerving and loud.
Firestar,by contrast doesnt really have a clear speech pattern that can be slotted into one pure clan. he does a lot of chirrups and chirps,a healthy dose of chatter. he sounds odd to his clanmates and he never loses his “accent”
