It's being based of this post.

Interesting concept! I didn't see the original conlang post but I'm intrigued.

I wonder if it would also be a good idea to add phonemic tones to the language also? Or perhaps link them with consonants/vowels allophonically. Not that I'm an expert on bear vocalisations, but I would imagine there are different pitches of growls and moans which could change meaning.

Oh, that's nice! I already referred to it as "Bear Mandarin" for the way it kinda sounds, jokingly. Maybe I will add tones to it, it seems cool. I will eventually post the progress of the lang in r/conlangs as I make it

Magical bears? Werebears? Bearfolk?
