Hmm . . . how would you class the stuff she has the T'ca? Multiple
minds, leading to a parallel representation in matrices; pretty
non-humanoid :-)

Depending on how humanoid or not you consider C.J. Cherryh's fictional
species to be, we have very small corpuses of languages spoken by Hani
and
Kif (the latter being the least human-like of her oxygen- breathers,
IIRC).
The Stsho and Mahendosat seemed to me to be relatively humanoid, if each
in a
quintessentially odd way. :)
