Making Your Own Language
Posted by Kitty under ..Stuff, ..Culture/Canons, ..365 Ideas
Boing Boing had a post on Friday about Tuomo Sipola attempting to create a common fantasy language, ” a kind of Esperanto for inhabitants of fantasy worlds” which is a pretty cool idea. It would be nice to establish some common fantasy languages for public domain use for fantasy writers.
BB picked it up from Making Light which in turn had a lovely link to langmaker.com, a wonderful wiki for constructed languages. They have a huge list of constructed languages from more well known ones like Star Trek’s Klingon and the Lord of the Ring’s Quenya to things like Anglo-Saxon Computerese (in case you needed to talk about computers in Anglo-Saxon) and smaller personal projects like Antique Lantian.
