Hi Friends!
This thread is to discuss how to create an effective language. Anyone can create a language, and even easier yet, anyone can create a code for English that sounds like a different language. But if you want it to sound, look, and be good, take a while to read through this thread. If you have questions, ask! I can't promise that I know everything on this subject, but I'll try my best to find an answer to your question!
If you are creating three or fewer languages for your story, try investing a few days to the invention of each language. A week away from your writing schedule is not going to ruin your writing habit. If you know how to do it, creating a language is not very difficult, though it will take some time. I'm writing this up to help you with the know how.
If you are creating several different languages in your story, creating ciphers (codes for English) might be the easier option. We all know that if you focus only on the world building of your story, your story will never get written. So, if your story has more than three new languages that you will often use, codes are probably what you'll want to do. They can still work, and can still be effective. And they can still sound cool.
We'll split up this discussion into two parts. Codes, and creations. We'll start with codes, and go on with creations. If you have anything to say on the subject, let me know!
