ASPEN'S WORLDBUILDING GUIDE (Pt 1/?)

1. Creating fantasy languages (Part 1)

[DISCLAIMER: I am NOT an expert! This are just advices for anyone who needs em. This post specifically will be based on what I've learnt with Latin!]

---

Hello, everyone! To start with this writing blog (ig), I would like to begin with worldbuilding tips! Today, I'll start with the basic of creating a language for your world.

When we watch a fantasy film, we can see that a race or species speaks a language that is not real. Sometimes this process may look quite complex, but I'll try to make it as easy as I can ^^.

1.1. Alphabet.

This is the first thing you have to think of when creating a language. You can always look for references in foreign languages, or even old ones. Some examples are:

Symbols (E.g. Hieroglyphs)

Letters (E.g. Latin)

Signs (E.g. Chinese)

Now we decided that, we have to think of the complexity of the alphabet:

Direct translation: All the letters in your new language are equivalent to letters in, for example, English ("Letter1" is "A", "Letter2" is "B", and so on). I recommend this when you're just beginning or you don't want to make your language too hard to work on.

Symbols are words: The letters are more complex, meaning that a "letter" can be a word (Such as "Letter1" means "Water", Letter2 means "Wind" and "Letter1" + "Letter2" = "Storm"). This may take longer to develop, but it can make your language more rich.

There may be more ways to create the alphabet, but those are basic ones!

Now that is time to actually create the alphabet, keep in mind this things:

Make it conscious!: If you take a look at any language (E.g. Arabic or Hebrew), you'll notice how they match. If you're looking to create a language, try to make the letters similar to eachother, but not too much.

Begin with the basic: Most relevant things are, basically, letters used to form words (A, B, C...). Then you can focus on other punctuation symbols like "!" or "?".

Consider if there will be upper case and lower case: This may look obvious, but you can make your alphabet more rich by adding this simple variations. For example, is not the same "a" than "A", even if they're the same letter.

1.2. History.

Languages aren't the same 10,000 years ago than now. For example, Latin spoken in the Roman Empire evolved to the Spanish spoken (mainly) in America and Spain.

Now, when we create a new language, we must focus on the following points:

When was it spoken for the first time?: Languages can appear in any moment. You can use as a reference your world's history for it.

Where was it born?: The regions where a language is spoken are very relevant, specially since the current situation will affect it. For example, during Al-Andalus in Spain (711 - 1496), arabic was the brought language, but because of the contact with endemic languages, the mozarab was born as a mix of arabic, berber and romance (like latin) words.

Why was it born?: Keep in mind that, as I said before, languages exist for a reason. In those cases, they can be created because of two (2) languages got in contact. Although keep in mind the evolution will probably take thousands of years :>

With this keypoints in mind, you can begin creating the story of your new language :D

1.3. Regions.

As I said before, Spanish is now spoken in most american contries and also Spain. However, Mexicans won't speak the same way Argentinians do. This normally happens because of the evolution in the specific zone (E.g. Mexican Spanish has aztec words).

Now, we can apply this to a fantasy language by thinking this:

Why people speak this language here? (E.g. A language being brought after an invation)

Are there any variations? (Sometimes because of languages spoken before)

What's the difference between the cultured version (written) and the popular version (spoken)?

Although this last point is probably not that necessary when we want to do a simple language, it can be very helpful to develop it better, specially when different characters speak the same language.
