Sorry, I can't resist this temptation to boast about my conlang... :-P
Color is built into my conlang, mostly because color has deep
philosophical connotations in the conculture. In fact, every vowel and
consonant has an associated "color". This gives rise to monosyllabic words
for colors...
Anyway, just wondering, any other conlangs actually have their conculture
affect in ways like this?
