I suppose this belongs MORE in the writers forum than anywhere else, and besides I'm most interested in artlanging as a facet of conworlding as a facet of writing u3u Do we have any other conlangers in the house? Or anybody interested in learning more about it? What are you guys working on? Tell me about your language(s) and projects~~
If anyone is curious, and doesn't know what I'm talking about, a conlang is a constructed language, and an artlang (artistic language) is like Sindarin, Klingon, Dothraki or Na'vi, a language you make up for fun, to explore how beautiful sounds and syntax are, or for use by a fictional culture! David J. Peterson and Mark Rosenfelder have a lot of interesting stuff on their respective sites. It's way more than just making up sounds to replace English words or words in other natural languages (natlangs, in the jargon)-- conlanging entails generating your own sounds, grammar, and vocabulary, as if it were a completely different foreign language. u3u
Somebody tell me if there's a better place for this D: i wanna talk about my obscure internet hobby with otherssss
