Credited As: ConLangers (How to Create a Language)

Фильм және анимация

Paul Frommer (Na'vi language in Avatar), Marc Okrand (Klingon language in Star Trek) and David Peterson (Dothraki language in Game of Thrones) take viewers through the process of what it takes to create an entirely new language for a film.

    When I was 8 I started making my own language called Zabric (I don't know, the name just came to me). I left the language alone for a year and then came back to it when I was 10. I have been working on the language ever since. I am now 12 (I know still really young) and have devolped a basic and simple vocabulary and grammar. I still add around 50 words to the language every day and I don't plan on stopping for years.

    though this is really cool, have you considered how the grammar structures work? It would seem strange if the order as well as conjugations and declensions were the same as English, and I was simply wondering as you only mention adding vocabulary to the language.

    I'm creating a language that is half of western and half of eastern languages. The idea came up when I tried creating my own world with my own language, then I was about 10 or so. I made some vocabulary at first but then deserted it cuz I didn't know how to work the grammar. Then I started again with 'Narakan'. I try making grammar rules that have never existed and try to remember whenever I have ideas for vocabulary. I usually watch videos in language that I don't know to have ideas. This is a fantastic work to do for a long term.

But where did Proto - Indo - European come from? Well, is possible (nothing sure) that it is born as a conlang. Someone suggests that it's an "a posteriori" language created mixing the lexicon of pre - existing languages... But where did this other languages come from? Good question. I have no answer.

    @@rykaro69 Esperanto lives because it has evolved. Styles, grammar, and word choice has changed since 1887. Certain roots are preferred now where previously the word in Esperanto was a compound, and vice versa. The grammar has changed a lot too; affixes can be used as their own words. Also, adjectives can be verbs; e.g. Estas blua (it is blue) is now commonly Bluas (it is blue). Esperanto originated as a conlang, but every generation, it becomes more of a natlang that has evolved.

    Mark Okrand - I have bad news for you! Recent reconstructions of PIE (if not _the_ most recent one by Jouna Pyysala) do resemble Klingon! Before the Laryngeal Theory, the reconstruction for father was basically p@teer (@=schwa). Now it is more like pxtehr (x=chi=ach-laut). Usual writing in reconstructed roots is with H1 for h and H2 where I put the ach-laut, but the reconstructed probable sound values for these are such that "h" is very probable for H1 (non-specific as to position in mouth > does not change vowel qualities, just prolong vowels), and ach-laut is as probable for H2 (specifically back of mouth and low, tends to produce the low and extreme open vowel A). So, by now your Klingon DOES resemble sth. I have of course made the point that this might argue there is sth wrong about the reconstruction, including idea of reconstructing a proto-language.

    ashesfrombones They sound nothing alike, beyond all being humanly pronounceable. Na'vi and Dothraki don't have the throat rasps that are so common in Klingon, for example, and their grammar structures are different. I'm sure there are charts that show what phonemes exist in these languages too- iirc Dothraki doesn't have F, V, T, B, or P sounds, for example, but Na'vi obviously has V, and also T. Na'vi also has the glottal stop, which I don't think the others have. And that's not even to address stuff like naming conventions (Neytiri, Tsutey, Etukan in Na'vi vs Jhiqui, Jhoqo, Pono in Dothraki). Dothraki is the only language out of these that I really know anything about, and I can still differentiate them all at a glance
