Gwãtsan

It used to be spoken throughout the world during the early ages. It lasted for 1000 years. When they became capable of making spaceships they adapted the language spoken by humans called English. They learned the words of the humans by their many visits to Earth.
They debated whether to change their names or not. They eventually decided to make their names more human sounding but they tried to make them different from humans.
Records show that it was considered to be a beautiful language. People try to understand this ancient language but have a hard time speaking it. There’s no one alive today that remembers this. Some areas of the world still remember this language and speak it.
