Looks great, very professional... Is this *all* canon? 🤔

No most of this is not canon, but it's made using mostly canon word roots combined to make more words, so the majority of it can still be considered at least canon-adjacent. This is an attempt to give Mando'a a large enough lexicon to become a living language.

The dictionary on the main site is the only canon list of words at this time, as it is 100% limited to words found in Karen Traviss' Excel file from 2009.

Oh, I see... Just it was in the canon portion of the forum so I assumed it was.

So, the only extant, canon grammar/word list is that which was posted by KT on her website ages ago?

Also from me an honest "WOW, great, stunning work!"
But I wondered about the letters, I don't understand that there are different sources; example being the letter M in Mado'a, there are the one in the Guide and from other sources the one that looks quite similar to the transcribed N.
Which one comes from where and what are the differences? Is that old/new Mando'a?
If there is already an answer to that I missed, I apologize and just ask for directions.
[Edit: found it!]


Best regards and thank a lot

I think i referenced the source guide on which this thing is based on (MLD). So the alphabet was transferred from there without any changes.

okay! I can finally post on here....

So, when it comes to your primer....I was wondering if there is a version that exists with all english lettering instead of the combination of mando'a alphabet (except where appropriate to teach vowel/consonant sounds, etc) and english explanation? In discord and other websites we obviously don't have a way to utilize the font...and, personally, it's more difficult for me to grasp the concepts this way, especially when my primary use of the language is with english lettering. I mean, if there's not I'll make due, but if there IS one...that would be preferable for folks like me who don't typically use the font to write in mando'a...

When I clicked on the URL it said that the drive I was looking for didn't exist? Is there an updated URL somewhere?
