   okay after poking around with toki pona a bit i think i have decided to simply use an extant fantasy conlang generator for the glass kobold language

     @skyfaller my favorite treatment of them has them speaking dragon language with a lisp from different mouth shape

     @nora Frankly I think toki pona isn't a good thematic fit for kobolds. I don't see why they'd be into simplicity.

     What I know about kobolds without looking them up:

     - ruled by dragons, which I take as a lack of ambition or a history of oppression, otherwise they'd rule themselves
     - very social, live in large groups
     - love shiny objects and collect them, like dragons or corvids

     I'd expect they speak draconic, which likely has many words for treasure, or a trade language for acquiring shinies.

     this is in no way a judgement of toki pona, a language that is meant to be used to talk to people and not do some bullshit, which is what i am up to
