what if im not making a language for artistic purposes, just for personal uses?
Numbers?
Alton Towers made their own cipher to tease Wicker Man. So I can make a font for that? Dude I have been trying to for so long!

i’ve been following a multi-video tutorial that describes all the steps like diy, but there’re WEBSITES for this????? thank you so much for the resources, I thought everyone just fought their way through the process 🙏🙏🙏
not freian: hi how do you do it freian:etok ca lis losa kel pol koi I do not know how did I make my own word
I try my best to avoid involving AI generator for my conlangs so my creations will be made originally from my head. But looorrd this might help a lot when my brain is fried! Thanks a lot!!
Easy part done now. Now time to learn Greek bc my language is based off that 😍🥰
I personally don’t intentionally take any influence from real life languages because I like the chaos of it, it’s sorta my conlang brand. However I’ve noticed instinctually I insert a lot of Japanese and English influence because those are the languages I speak
By this I don’t mean I don’t use natural constructions, grammar, systems, etc I just don’t think about specific languages that use the. When making my languages
And yes, this creates many unnatural constructions, but the languages still appear mostly natural so its sorta uncanny and that’s my style
Thank you! This is awesome!
How do I get on that generater?
Tysm omg you’re a lifesaver! I wanted to make my own language for me and my friends, its name is Palonese, and I finally made a vocab system including a phonological system! Here’s a sentence: dátop s’ùtari ipodon awkwords k.l.graywill, psha’nakji! = i used awkwords thanks to k.l.graywill, thank you!
Thanks a lot for this vídeo Now I will can make my own writing system
Wait where did you get dacian from? i cant find any info that isnt the basic about my ancestors at all 😭
This is going to be really helpful for the book I’m planning. Thanks so much for this.
oh thank god, I did NOT want to learn about plate tectonics 😢
Vulgarlang is the only one here I think it’s best to avoid It’s generally avoided by conlangers for a bunch of reasons
n ո guess the difference
maybe make each character look like building or things like trees and etc, so when you write a sentence it would look like a 2D cityscape or forest drawing, that would be cool
I was literally just wondering how the hell I was going to further my current language. I thank you profusely for saving me from a future of many hours spent not knowing where to begin within the process.
Awkwords isnt up anymore and now im lost for one that will let me put multiple letters together as one thing 😭😭
I miss it too :< the only awkwords like alternative is barely functional...
It’s down I’m going to pass away.
The fact that Welsh has an influence on your world is amazing, you make me proud to be Welsh. Diolch i chi am eich holl waith
I can't draw 😢😢
What if I just want to make a conlang for artistic purposes (a.k.a. artlangs)? Kinda like the artlang Tsevhu, which has ripples and koi fish for words and grammatical placement, respectively (I'm not sure if you heard of it, but oh well...).
Hmm. I do prefer to make my conlangs myself, as automating the process may suck some naturalism(?) out of it, and also part of the fun. But if you don't really intend to get super deep into lexemes and morphemes and what they mean, or if you feel you have to include conlangs but aren't too thrilled about coming up with words and grammatical rules yourself, it is good that this tool exists. Though I will say, once you come up with a bunch of useful morphemes or particles (negation, plural, superlative, verb conjugations...), there's a point where creating new related words becomes a lot easier! And since you created the rules yourself, they're usually easier to remember. But again, I see how some people might find this useful if they don't really feel like getting in too deep and just want to have the language done a bit more quickly 👍 I mean, my story for example sometimes features secondary conlangs that aren't given much attention, so I do improvise a lot with them. _Sanaro!_ (Thank you!)
Where to read?
You can’t make a font for a’posteriori conlangs.
I am also constructing a language. My current in progress one is Indo-European.
I love stuff like this 😍
Orion's Arm isn't just a sci-fi worldbuilding resource, it's a full-scale 20+ year old collaborative worldbuilding project of its own, spanning present day all the way to 10000+ years into the future.
Is there a way to build an entirely new language library or pack for an operating system to use? Not a font. But an entire language that is used for the operating system’s UI. Not for the coding.
Nerds are so cool we’ve been lied to
My language is based on stacking the alphabet in 3 blocks, one with the first consonant, the 2nd which always has a vowel and the last block contains a consonant that almost always changes its look, although I am a little disappointed how my conlang can't be typed, I can use the old form of my language which was written from left to right and it looked hideous and took up tons of space, so that's why I removed it
So you're not covering grammar then? Even if a conlang is just a naming language grammar will logically be involved somewhere, e.g. plurals vs. singulars in the names for items, noun gender in men's and women's names. It's also arguable that grammar is a defining and necessary characteristic of something's being a language.
No way you called your conlang "fake"! I would never
Ohio font
It's not working
This is awkward Awkwords has not been found.
My influence is either something that only i can pronounce or some kind of a reflex of a language so i can eadily calculate words into a new form. But why do that when you can create an original conlang that sound also natural/fitting for the setting and also quirky and funny so the linguists around us can enjoy without cringing at another reflex of english.... yeah sorry for the rant the video was great
I want to say that I really do enjoy your way of creating continents and naming them! I use name generators to help me have inspiration to create as well. I personally enjoy rolling to find out specific longitudinal and latitudinal points of a land mass, then connect the dots lol. I usually have a rough idea of where I want them to be by drawing the lines of longitude/latitude and making sure they roughly align. Then I make tectonic plates afterward to get rough ideas of islands and mountains and that jazz. Also I subscribed 😊
Thank you 😭 I’m making a spec evo project and languages are gonna be a pain in the Keester so this vid is gonna help a lot :)
If your making hard sci fi atomic rockets and project rho are a must
The way I used to make up languages was just to jumble around the letters like a salad and write the matches down- I mean it works, it’s just not very practical. Like, here’s an example of one random jumble of letters I decided to make. A=K B=O C=Z D=A E=T F=S G=E H=L I=G J=P K=D L=Y M=W N=V O=X P=J Q=I R=M S=E T=B U=C V=F W=R X=U Y=Z Z=H For example, “Hello” would be “Ltyyx”, but obviously that’s hard to say so it’s just pronounced “Ltyex” This sucks lol
This is great info. I have a question because I'm trying to make a conlag based on Hebrew and I'm wondering like do I make my own alphabet and have them follow the rules of the Hebrew language?
Look up "Hebrew IPA" and maybe learn some Hebrew if you want to. Also follow the tutorial from Biblardion to make a detailed language like yours.
Im so confused
