Communication
Like other sapient species, shapeshifters communicate through languages, both spoken and written languages. Languages is unique to the sapient species of the human world and Mushroom Kingdom world, particularly in its ability to get across abstracts concepts such as time and imagination. Whilst other sapient species communicate, they do so about concrete things happening in the present. Whilst in their animal form, some shapeshifters also communicate in ways mimicking the animal species they have transformed into. Some make use of scent marking, whilst others confer information via ear or tail movement.
There are many different languages used by shapeshifters across the human world and Mushroom Kingdom world, differing across places and cultures. Each languages is made up of a number of phonemes or sounds, which are put together in different ways to convey a near infinite amount of ideas. Most of these languages also have a written component, where each sound or concept is illustrated by a symbol or set of symbols. Written languages allows communication across great distances, such as a letter sent across the sea, and even across time, such as a book written a century ago being able to be read by contemporary readers.
Body languages, including hand gestures and facial expressions, are also an important part of shapeshifter communication. These help convey emotional information; a smile or a frown could drastically change the meaning of a spoken word. Different body languages can mean different things from one culture to another culture. For example, in one culture, making eye contact with someone could be seen as aggressive, whereas in another culture it would be taken as a sign of deep respect.
