Message: <blockquote data-quote="Verequus" data-source="post: 1846143" data-attributes="member: 9135">Arbiter of Wyrms:Are you by chance "Ascarel" on some other forum? The person behind this nick helps me in the constructing of languages for my campaign world, which are supposed to be made OGC, if they are finished. Thus I find your proposal a bit too conspicious to be coincidence.That said, I still like to see such a product, because linguistics are a complex field (20 pages to cover it? Unbelievable, even with no sample languages.) and a kind of usable primer for the average DM would be a boon. Languages are as defining for a setting like the cultures of the people, which inhabit it - both are even in a certain sense two sides of the coin.Creating alphabets and some other things are the logical steps after having a language - and I don't know of a website, which details such steps. Actually, I also miss a product or websites, which help to define the culture of races - but that would be easily a series of books in its own right. Is someone here, who would be able to write books to cover this white canvas?So go for it - I'll definitely buy it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Telepathic languages... I've invented one more or less accidently ("How could the language of god be, before he started the creation?" in a fantasy setting), but it showed me one thing: If you want to make full use of telepathy (like sending feelings, which concern only single 'words' - a kind of equivalent of the tone in the speech), then it isn't probably possible to write it down. We can't even express ourselves in text as much one does through speaking.But it is still a nice idea. :\</blockquote>
