KASH is one of the principal languages of extra-terrestrials; they call their planet Cindu ['tSindu]. AFAIK it is being spoken right now, albeit many light-years away. They tend to be big (6ft plus), have black fur, and have evolved from cat-like ancestors. They are civilized and reasonably advanced technologically. They share their planet with another intelligent and quite dissimilar species called GWR (that's gw- plus Engl. syllabic /r/, I forget the correct symbol). Their languages are still a-borning. Various bits and pieces of Kash have been posted, but alas no complete description. (Confession: it's based somewhat on Indonesian/Malay, but with enough inflection to make it interesting.) I keep thinking I'll make a web-page, but Hell may freeze over first. So I may adopt your method of posting the basics in several short pieces.......though that would require me to get it organized. You probably were not yet on the list when we all did our "Ethnologue" type posts--more info there-- they were collected on someone's website, whose URL I no longer have, but suppose it could be found in the e-groups archive. Or some good soul could refresh our memory.
