I have. I'm still developing it. It has a long way to go before it'll be fully functional. Right now it just seems a lot like pig latin. It's pretty hard to make your own langauge. very daunting task

Sounds interesting.

I'm developing a language that is intended not to be derived from any one particular language, but has features from languages around the world. The alphabet will be syllabic rather than phonetic when it is developed. I have only written it in trasliterated latin characters so far. I am studying alphabets from India as a basis for it. There will be ten forms of each "consonant" for each of the ten vowels that are spoken. Every syllable ends in a vowel and starts with a consonant. Imported words that have syllables that start with a vowel start with a prnounced 'H'. I'm thinking of adding a Gutteral stop like the Hebrew Ayin for this purpose, but I havent decided if I want to do this yet. A base word (verb, adjective, or noun) can be changed to another part of speech by simply adding a suffix. Some verb forms use a prefix as well (like Hebrew imperfect verbs). Word order is Indirect Object, Verb, Subject (if needed), Direct Object. Prepositions are prefixed to their objects and Adjectives follow nouns. Adverbs precede the word they modify. Subject pronouns are included in the verb. In fact there are no independent personal pronouns at all. I have only developed the vocabulary for English words that start with A through ACC. I translated a few other words that were necessary for the already developed words. The vocabulary is developed from one syllable words that are put together to form longer words. For example, Doctor will mean One who heals - twavdo. twa means One who, vdo means to heal. a is pronounced like a in father, o is always long. Stress on nouns is always on the next to the last, or only syllable. :biggrin: :???: :mad: [br][edited by nelsmp on 2005-06-21 05:31:16]

The Dead language is something that consists a lot of my interests. A lot of the "g"s (whenever used) end up being like a Dutch g or sometimes like an English g. It varies from word to word. Let me give you an example of some words as to why v and s are used a lot: Auissé/Auissév = Need/To Need Ovanverka = A lot/Much erv = a/an/one ovnis = And K'svil = First As you probably see, there are a lot of v's and s's. Also instead of using c's I try to pull of using K's. Hanging letters such as j,g,q,p etc are rarely used also. Probably only used in words that need to be known and need to stand out...such as in Dutch the: een = a/an één = one The pronounciation of each letter is a bit different too.: a = eh e = i i = ah o = o u = uv The words are often said softly because the letters often are brang out themselves just by their pronounciation.

I'm in the process of creating my own language. I'm working around a lot of the vowels o, a, and e. Also there are a lot of the letters v and s. I cant wait to get it finished so that I may be able to speak it fluently and make it so that my character is more fluent in it.

I'm in the stages of creating a language with the least phonemes. They are C N S F R Y W. The Y and W are vowels.

I've tried to invent several languages but no one has vocabulary of more than 200 words and only one of these has a complete grammar. A sample: Thez zá ínek.

I invented a brand new language but, unvortunately I can not speak it! :biggrin:

Pretty much every computer progamming language would count as an artifical language. They have all the syntax and whatnot that 'natural' languages have, but since they're engineered from the ground up they tend to be much more logically organized than the languages most people are more familiar with.

Thanks for responding.

Yes. I really like it but personally think that my language is incredibly hard to learn.
