[ KosraNo - Lira ] - Cat Dialect

Seeing and talking about colors as humanoid Cats

These words/phrases will be used when referring to nouns or adjectives that is related to light.

01 : Hue

02 : Special Case Dialect

01:Hue

Hue

For Cats, or Cat Humans, Astralica Cat Dialect, the 2 primary colors are:

[ Nyawawi ]

Green

[ Myagawi ]

Magenta

Although these names will not be used here directly, they will be used for derivation.

Here we have their cropped segments and Emphasize Segments

cropped : [ Nya ]

emphasize : [ Wa ]

cropped : [ Mya ]

emphasize : [ Ga ]

Since the Cat Dialect only has 2 primary colors, It is guaranteed that a "Hue Line" can be formed, In this case, Astralica Cat Dialect uses the Hue LERP approach, let's try to construct this Line step by step

Cropped and Emphasize Segments

The cropped segments is used to represent the general Hue, the emphasize segment is used to state that if a color is perfectly Green or Magenta.

Step 01 : Color line

let's draw a color line, with 2 major ticks at both ends and 1 secondary tick at the middle and for each segment between a major tick and a secondary tick, we can have 4 smaller segments.

The convention here is to have Green as 0, and Magenta as 1

0.125

0.25

0.375

0.5

0.625

0.75

0.875

Wait... isn't that Grey at the middle ?

Yes, Due to how Color Works, it is likely that Grey is a Hue to Cats.

However, this is a wild guess, perhaps Cats perceive a different Hue at the Center,

Unlike how we Humans do.

Step 02 : Primary Chunks

For now we will list the 2 major chunks for Green and Magenta,

so at least we know which part of the line will be covered by which primary color.

For every tick, this will contain the general color, if the tick is a Major tick, the Emphasize segment will be appended.

NyaWa

Nya

Nya / Mya

Mya

MyaGa

Step 03 : Purity Magnitude

With different vowels, we can represent how close a color is to a pure primary color,

ranging from "o", "i", "æ" to "a"

NyaWa

Nya

Nyæ

Nyo / Myo

Myæ

Mya

MyaGa

Step 05 : Pronouncing the Hue

the full name of a color should be "KosraNoNi - Lira - Klara Ru Taxi - <Hue Name>",

but this is a bit too many syllables, to simplify it, we can have "Kros - Li - Ta - <Hue Name>"

if the context is even clearer that we are referring to a color, then we can just have "Li - Ta - <Hue Name>"

for extreme simplification, just the hue name written in Casual Script should be good.

02:SpecialCaseDialect

Special Case Dialect

Sometimes, different cats or groups can pickup or adapt to smaller different dialects, and have small alternative rules, rather than following the standardized rules.

Here we have several RGBA Hue formats that we can use :

Single Digit 16
Single Digit Quad
Double Digit 16

Single Digit 16

Each slot is a single-digit Number, ranging from 0x0 to 0xF

Double Digit 16

Each slot is a double-digit Number, this will be the familiar color code format to some graphic designers.

Single Digit Quad

Each slot is a syllable, which represent a certain amount of that primary color

however the way to pronounce it makes the colors sounds like names

which is pretty common in normal speeches and conversation and lore making.
