Pandulund
Pandulund
This website's address is spelled Panduland. This is not the actual spelling of Pandulund.
Pandulund is a fictional real world separate from the human world. It is quite different in many ways, but some things tend to parallel and are also quite similar to things in the human world.
Culture and the World
Language
The first few things that are different from the human world is the spelling, sounding out of words, and counting.
The Pandu Number system is in the following order: 1, 21, 2, 3, 5, 7, 4, 6, 8, 10, 9, 83, 15, 77, 105, 99, 20, 12, 11, 14, 23, 22, 16, 24. With 24 being the highest possible number.
Spelling is based off of the sound of the word. Which is based off of the fact that there are:
no double letter combinations like th, sh, ch, etc.
Vowels are pronounced as their names with the exception of the letter "u"
Consonants that once had multiple pronunciations are usually restricted to one of these pronunciations
So, for example, the word "the" in the human world would be pronounced how you usually would think. But in Pandulund, "the" is pronounced like "tuh-huh-E" as "th" doesn't exist and "e" is pronounced as its name. This is how the spelling plays in, the word "smart" is spelled as "smurt" because "smart" would be pronounced as, "Sm-air-t".
There are few exceptions to these rules like the word, "pandu". The A would be pronounced as its name however it usually isn't and is pronounced just as humans do. The same for the word, "Punda" as in "Punda Bourdain". "Punda" is different as the a isn't pronounced as its name and the word is instead said like, "Pun-duh".
I will be interchangeably spelling some words with human and pandu spellings.
Food
The next few things that are different from the human world are that actual pandus eat powdrd shoogr (powdered sugar), se carruts (sea carrots) and smurtes (smartes), while they drink win (wine). There is some meat, which is either beef, which is imported from the human world with many other supplies; as well as baboon meat, which is considered a delicacy. (Note: There are some Traditionalist Pandus in Pandulund that eat bamboo. However, Bamboo is known to make you fat while Powdrd Shoogr is healthy and makes you strong.)
Pandus can drink win because they are immune to getting drunk and because it actually hydrates them. Following this, the Pandu counting system's 2nd number is 21, meaning that they meet the legal drinking age in America early on.
Clothing
Pandus that roam the land generally wear Pretty Pink Dresses, Pretty Pink Bows, and Underwear. Pants are almost never worn.
Merpandus usually wear a colored cloth wrap acting as a bikini, they also have their mer-tails.
Cave Pandus and Regular Pandus tend to not wear anything
Affiliations
Pandulunds affiliations with other worlds and creatures is varied. They are allied with humans.
They also are great allies with the Hune Bunes (Honey Bunnies). Hune Bunes live in IIawah and make the Hune Bune Hune (Honey Bunny Honey) which is honey that has great healing properties. Hune Bunes generally take on roles as Boo Boo Bunes (Boo Boo Bunnies) as well.
Enemies of Pandulund include baboons and mushrooms, who are allied with each other. Baboons have been at war with Pandus for a long time and they are very scary to some Pandus. They are often used in scary stories like the famous one of, "There once was a dark forest and in that forest was a... BABOON." This is a very scary story often told around in Pandulund.
Cultural Goodnights
Pandus in Pandulund use goodnights similar to the humans: "Sweet dreams" or "Don't let the bedbugs bite".
GOODNIGHTS
"Don't let the baboons bite."
"Powdrd shoogr dreams!"
"In the morning, whine for wine!"
"Underwear is the way to sleep."
LULLABYS
"SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP, CUZ I TOLD YOU TOO!!"

Abilities of Pandus
All Pandus have the ability to fly with their tails. This skill is developed early on in a Pandu's lifetime. However, if a Pandu loses their tail, they can use the lesser-known technique of flying with your ears.
Pandus in Pandulund sometimes breed with different races creating mixed race pandus. This is uncommon but does happen.
Each race of Pandu generally has a set skill they are good at as well. Sausage Pandus are generally smarter, Tall Pandus are generally stronger, Ball Pandus are usually the fastest on land, Merpandus are usually the fastest swimmers, Field Pandus are generally the fastest fliers and get their strength in numbers, and finally Perfect Pandus are the best at everything.
