Did you ever made up a language? (kunõuna iyõ agah sufac õd?) I'm planning to use this in a story, but I'm afraid that it's unpronounceable. "This is a test of unpronounceableness" translates to "Pasp yl õmdhymyõmzautakmas ros ta"  Thuom-iyõh O jok aup yõp!!  You think this might be usable?

Surely anything's pronounceable if you try hard enough?

just use some unknown forgotten language instead of inventing one. if you can't escape the need to invent one, just take a normal word and try to change several letters or/and there place or/and add another letter or symbol or somthing on each letter in order to make it some kind unique. you can allways invent some cavemen language with sticks and wierd ugly ass drawings  oh so ammm good luck

Ehm... hi! I think there are several "invented" languages for stories. Didn't the author of Lord of the Rings put some effort in making a realistic fictional language for the elves? Anyway if you plan to use it in a story, a dictionary would be handy Yoko! huu... Mha elvug ghe "nuev" lagu po yares. Sahhe crea Lord of the Rings aves mhrrrrgh! sub yoro neppa laguo po 'l yira? Pirriyataro ukku bueve to yarretti du guo conto masta (no that's not a language, I just made that up and it does not make sense?  )[Edited on February 20, 2009 by PB] ____________ |

They did a letter changing thing with Final Fantasy X as well for the machina using people. Can't remember their names though.

There is a fairly robust Evlish language from LOTR, I'm not sure how much of that was actually invented by Tolkien, although I wouldn't be surprised if he did lots, apparently he was very much into runes and Norse If any of you've heard of a band called Sigur Ros (there's an accent in there too I think), they're an icelandic band who've invented their own language for their songs. ____________ |

I made up an alphabet. It's useful to write secret love notes to myself in.

Quoting yonni: There is a fairly robust Evlish language from LOTR, I'm not sure how much of that was actually invented by Tolkien, although I wouldn't be surprised if he did lots, apparently he was very much into runes and Norse Tolkien was actually a professor of language first and an author second. Lord of the Rings was borne out of his created languages. ____________ laffo |

why should one create a new language? isn't it allready too hard to understand each other allready? do we need more complications?! thats just shows how mazocists we humans are we invent even new languages in order to torture our selfs
