conlangs

[coraa]

I picked up The Language Construction Kit by Mark Rosenfelder (based on, but pretty thoroughly expanded from, the website that I have referenced many a time) (and thank you to yhlee for the tip-off of the book version).

It's making me want to conlang seriously again.

I think I'll start by creating the ancestral language from which both the language of Eshthali and the language of Inaui's people sprung.

(I'm totally aware that conlanging is not necessary for an invented world; with just a handful of phonemes and some constraints, you can make a perfectly respectable fantasy or science fiction naming language. But I like conlanging. It's fun.)

That's because conlanging is indeed fun.

(I'm a bit to immersed in natlanging at the moment to dip in again myself, though.)
