Template:Mothic

MothicSpoken colloquially by the Mothfolk of Va Lumla, the early iteration of Mothic emerged when Fueljacks relied on their receptors for simple, one-worded pheromones to communicate, and navigate the often fatal maintenance tunnels sprawled throughout the fleet.
The moths developed gesticulation through antennas and wings to convey deeper intent, with mandibles providing emotional context through clicks and trills.
After First Contact, human speakers managed to achieve a similar effect from clicking their tongue to roof, and steer the tone with the width of their mouth while using their hands in place of antennas.
It is informally spoken, deploying many slangs and shorthands from Common. Has phonetic resemblance to Italian.
