[PAR] [TLE] Lapine language [SEP] Lapine is a fictional language created by author Richard Adams for his 1972 novel "Watership Down", where it is spoken by rabbit characters.  The language was again used in Adams' 1996 sequel, "Tales from Watership Down", and has appeared in both the film and television adaptations.  The fragments of language presented by Adams consist of a few dozen distinct words, and are chiefly used for the naming of rabbits, their mythological characters, and objects in their world.  The name "Lapine" comes from the French word for rabbit, "lapin", and can also be used to describe rabbit society.
