Wolvish
As my husband and I were driving through New Hampshire this past week, we happened upon this sign:
Abenaki is the language I used for the wolves' names and the inspiration for their language. It is also called Abenaki-Penobscot after the two related tribes that once spoke it. Elders in the Penobscot tribe are currently trying to revive it, and I found the language really interesting as I was looking for a language for the wolves. I knew that I wanted to do something Native American, and this fit in perfectly.
