Chaha HAZ Dictionary
This is a completely unorganized list of the Hanian word list as it applies to the Chaha Series. Obviously some of them are used in contemporary society and life too, but many others aren’t. Please be aware, these sets of posts deal with many words which are used in a Dystopian setting. Those who are staff or invited book fans may get access to more information through the members pages.
