Tama, or Damut, is the primary language spoken by the Tama people in eastern Chad and in western Sudan. It is a member of the Taman language family. Miisiirii is often considered a dialect, though it is not particularly close.
It definitely fed my love for poetic language, pageantry, codes, magic, transformation, musicality, and silence ... That inspired the dual voices of Tama ... reminding myself of his language and actions.
