clanmew-ish question here:

if a human were to ever listen to different cats speak clanmew, parkmew, etc. (different dialects) would they be able to tell the difference? does it sound different to them? had say, a human who owns a cat then later encounters a clan cat and heard them both speak, would there be a difference in the kittypet’s dialect and the clan cat’s dialect that the human can actually notice?

are the humans able to decode / kinda of understand what the cats are saying if they pay attention to say, erin’s project? say one cat keeps saying “Krrrp” at a stone then would the humans figure out that “Krrrp” is the cat word for stone? and if they do, can they figure out other cat words? and finally, if they can, can they “talk” to cats like pointing to a stone and going “Krrrp” and having the cat actually understand them?

Laypeople cannot; Researchers eventually can.

It's EXACTLY like cetaceans. The noises don't hit human ears quite right unless you're extremely familiar with the sounds a certain pod makes. Orcas have "accents" and you can call a dolphin by playing back a recording of its name, though we haven't proven actual grammar and language yet.

Clanmew is not discovered until sometime around 2030 or later, though, despite the project starting in 2008 when a cat attacks a bulldozer and sets off a chain of events that finally allows a program to get funding. Other languages aren't discovered until much, much later.

Generally though, in-universe, humans have a hard time speaking cat words and vice versa. It's not impossible, but it takes a ton of training and most housecats are just as laidback and uneager to please as their real counterparts.

(Though out of universe, it is possible to speak Clanmew and I make sure all words are technically pronouncible. Because it's more fun that way.)

Here's the current draft for Thalamhan's map, including the names of all four cities and Danuas's location! Things are most likely going to change in the future but for now, this is the layout. It's not entirely accurate, for one the scale is probably bound to change and the map presents the colony as very vertical when it's not. I'd probably need to make it in a 3D software for it to be the most accurate it can be, but that can be for another time

When Danuas tunneled into the planet millions of years ago, the series of interconnecting cave systems she left behind would become Thalamhan. Early Thalamites would found Danann, the capital city, and during the Branching Era centuries later, they would expand upward toward the surface, founding the other three cities as well as many smaller towns and villages. Thalamites also live along the tunnels connecting each settlement to another.

Danann is the capital and cultural center of the colony, home to the Sacred Grounds. Beneath it is Danuas, accessed only by the cityspeaker through an entrance known as the Well of the Titan.

Loc Faore is the agricultural capital, a city built around a large lake of the same name. The settlements that surround it are along the streams that come from the lake, home to most of Thalamhan’s farmers.

Astorea is known for its high population of smiths and metallurgists. Its nickname is Little Danann, as it has the second largest cultural scene in the colony, particularly textiles and art.

Tollana is unique for being a mostly vertical city, so most of its population are Thalamites with flight based alternate modes. Many scientists and engineers including some from Danann have residences here, as it is the closest city to the surface, perfect for researching the planet and sky themselves.

The dark regions that surround the colony are the Darklands.
