Languages

hmm. several things to cover.

first is structure. The graid's classic Language, ashadic and it's dialects, is made almost entirely of single sylable words strung together without pause, with the subject usualy at the start. A full phrase in english can be a single word in Ashadic.

"I don’t have a home

Alakemshir

Al; self
ak; live
Em; place
Shir; lacking

As for the actual vocalization the graid have an extremely wide range, being a hearing intensive race (having no smell, taste, limited touch, and no depth perseption), so they can 'commonize' their words and speaking voice to better match the listener. In a natural state, dealing with their own kind their voices are much more... gutteral. Which is no surpise, considering they are a very animalistic race, not born into sapience.

commonized, Their name can be said like 'grade' rolling the R. closer to the origional would be a slow growl, almost a croak from the very back of your throat, starting low and moving up to the tip of the toungue, going higher. but it would be a stretch to speak it like they do, and you must also sing while speaking ashadic.

EDIT: also, a language of bars or number is a terrible, boring idea.
