Summary

Note: I created this Conlang created for my fanfictions. I have created some aspects of Wookiee culture which I believe are fairly consistent with how they are generally portrayed in Canon and Legends.This Conlang is not nearly as complete as my Bothese Conlang. The grammar here is a consistent functional working grammar I use, but may evolve into a full-fledged constructed language over time, especially if more Star Wars fans begin using it in their works, or if I started focusing more on Wookiees (this happened with Mandalorian/Mando’a which was just a small sketch of phrases and a few rules in Karen Traviss’s works, but evolved into something more).The sounds of Shyriiwook are my most complete part at the moment; I have simply put a lot of thought into Wookiee anatomy and approximating the sounds we hear in the random animal noises to actual phonemes.I borrowed a small portion of my lexicon from Wookieepedia’s Legends page on Shyriiwook, as well as the Complete Weermo’s Guide to Shyriiwook. Neither of these sources were enough to actually employ a working Conlanguage. I invented the overwhelming majority of Shyriiwook words from scratch for my works, as well as all of Shyriiwook syntax and morphology.For the phonology, or the sounds of Shyriiwook, I was also informed greatly by Alden Ehrenreich’s pronunciation of Shyriiwook in Solo: a Star Wars Story, but, for the most part invented that from scratch as well.
