Mandatory self-promotion post.

@444names & @444namesplus - Are you dumbstruck after writing yourself into a corner, unable to come up with a plausible and unique name for a character in your work? These two blogs got you covered. 444names and it's sidekick both post 444 names per every single post - And the former has accumulated over half a million names. 444names generates countless names via Markov chains (website used, Wikipedia article), and every single name and name stash are free to be used in any work of fiction - With credit unnecessary! 444namesplus is dedicated to more niche and various ways of procedural name generation, such as Awkwords or cryptolangs.

@thecrazyneographist - A blog where I go ape over neography: The art of inventing new writing systems. While the blog is simply a gallery of scripts created by me (numbering 1668 writing systems documented at the moment of me writing this post!), it does provide a lot of inspiration, and (!) you can commission me to create a neographic endeavor for you! Alternatively, you can buy the rights to any of the already existing scripts if you were to wish and use them in commercial projects, and if the project is not commercial, you can simply notify (and best credit) me as being the scripts author.

@conlangcrab - A place for wider variety of linguistic, conlanging and neographci rambles for me. -snip snap-

@overstimcore - Another gallery blog for a genre of collage which I coined a word for.

@cryptolangsguy - This one is a rabbithole all on itself, so strap up and see for yourselves.

Reverse vowels.

Waking -> Wikang

Reduce >1 clusters and hiatuses

Wikang -> Wikan

Duplicate consonant before the last vowel. Ignore if only one vowel.

Wikan -> Wikkan

Tooth and Tail's languages and Warframe's Corpus speak are both languages that are actually replacements of English sounds with others to give them the illusion of a foreign language without committing fully to an actual conlang. At first, I was dismissive of them as I wanted to be a "real conlanger." But after trying to create multiple conlangs and a recent project that me and some friends are working on, I have come to see that cryptolangs can be useful.

Which is why I am going to be using them in my Zenless Zone Zero fan-universe as well as try to document the TaT and Corpus languages using this framework. I will see what cryptolangs have to offer and, hopefully, they might be a fun way for me to indulge in my language-related hobbies.

Try also:

-> @444names and the Markov chain procedural name generator.

-> @444namesplus and the WordGen by JasonTank, as well as Awkwords.

-> The Wiktionary and Wikibooks' real life names from various countries, cultures and religions.

-> @cryptolangsguy and the wonder of cryptolangs in general, on r/cryptolangs (as well, check out the GitHub cryptolang encoder by MurderWho).

While this method is fun shit and giggles, and I used it before, nowadays I find it way too basic/mindless for my taste.

Cheers .w.b

This is a blog creating random procedural-generated name stashes of wide variety, using tools like Awkwords, the Cryptolang Documentation Standard Automaton, and Markov Namegen. Since the blog spits out more "exotic" names, it is recommended you visit @444names - The main blog of the two - For solely Markov Namegen generated names.

My name is Arcee.

The stashes will be numbered starting with 1/5/2025. This means the ≈500 stashes beforehand are going to be lacking any numeration.

I strive to have each stash number 444 names within itself, but there is no guarantee about that number; Some will have more, some posts will consist of just one name (and won't be put into the stash list probably).

Desperate due to Awkwords being abandonware so I delved into some alternatives.

Scriboly Fake Language Generator Closer to a cryptolang than an actual conlang-generator. Through some testing determined that the site uses some internalized rules to decide how to translate words into encoded versions of themselves. The number of syllables (which are AWFULLY miscalled "phonemes" here) alters the results of the translation, and the translation is stable regardless of what the text is or tab session. Neat, keeping it for sure.

LanguaGen Might be the perfect fit actually. Though sadly, it is still in development, and aims to cover all the functionality of Awkwords (as said in the About), which is superb. Saving.

sca2 A Zompist sound change applier. Very fancy, will use for cryptolanging most probably.

Hello

My name is Arcee and among many other special interests (listed below "Keep Reading"), I am something of a magpie myself, interested in all that shines for it is gold to me.

On this new blog I will share some of the finds from my daily physical/mental health walks, as well as older finds from my "archive".

You can submit your finds too via asks or post submissions!

Looking for co-runners for this blog! If you are interested, DM me.

Or be insane, like me.

The final stage of every OC's creation is having to go through websites like this to name it:

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

I just found out that you are the person who invented the term "cryptolang" and the system for which to document them. For that, I thank you.

My actual question is what do you do about altering grammatical aspects of a base language? Say that I want to turn pronouns into prefixes and such.

Other than that, have a great day!

Well m'liege, that's purely up to the creator of a cryptolang. Via the notation, you could theoretically write it down via either word ("replace the pronoun She with Thaú-, attaching to the word after it") or via a CDS sequence like follows: She4Thaú1, which specifies that the isolated unit "She" turns into initial unit Thaú, erasing the spacebar after it.

Cryptolangs got no rules, anyone can make their own documentation standards, anything, tis' a free territory for everyone as I hold no copyright over any of that.

Rock-'n'-roll, liege, happy cryptolangin' 😎

Giumalaita'i

[Text ID:

Cryptolang rules:

> Duenaga’ir, then consonantal Deites.

Every word consists of a body and tail. The various combinations of the two define the word as a part of speech.

Example: Aizuenaqama’i - p.n. (the) Example Aizuenaqamai - v. Give an example Aizuenaqama - n. An example

Aizuenaqam’a - adj. Exemplar

I - pron. (the) Example

Every word has its own pronoun version, which in all cases is the tail (phraseology, “to tug on tails”, to talk using lots of pronouns to shorten speech).

Pronunciation rules:

Vowels are always forming diphthongs when put together. <c> - /ts/ <q> - /q~kʼ~kˤ~kʲ/ <x> - /ks~ɕ/ <j> - /ʤ/

To translate a word into Giumalaita’i: > Set it into its most basic form. > Encode with cryptolang. > Change to part of speech accordingly.

Giumalaita’i has no articles. Particles and other smaller parts of speech are only encoded with Talak and consonantal Deites; No Duenaga’ir. No verb tenses, all is contextual.

Translation example: "Just because you failed once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything"

“Kutav cedaute guom opade, pu-fiu naep hiu guom av aiwas’a vajeop” (literally) “Just because fail once, no-do mean go fail at every thing”

End text ID.]

Vyeshal Cryptolang String

I decided to make the Vyeshal cipher language from the Tooth and Tales game into an actual cryptolang string a la @cryptolangsguy.

AIEOAw#_EeOo_UAhYaw#_UhYe#_OyYoo#_ErAl#_AiYo#_AeYa#_GD_MV_FH_PB_RL#_WVw#_ZZh#_ThShCh{Zh}J{Y}Z#_IngEeng#_AwngOng#_UhngOong#

Additional Rules:

Add "ye" between certain translated consonant clusters (unspecified in the Reddit post) when they become difficult to pronounce.

Add "ye" to the end of word-final consonant clusters.

Insert between certain clusters of a consonant and when finding them difficult.

Exclude "the" and "a".

Replace "that" and "those" with "this" and "these". Due to the unfortunate translation of the former word.

Sample text:

Wee Ruhn this bizness! Vwoo loyen shes pezhyenoss!

The original Reddit post says that Vyeshal "replaces Phonemes" instead of letters. So, I try to keep the English source spelling as accurate to the pronunciation as possible.

Unfortunately, <oo> was used to transcribe /ʊ/ and /u/ with different transformations for each. So, I had <oo> represent /u/ and <u> /ʊ/. <a> was also used to transcribe /æ/ and /ɑ/ with one being the transformed and the other the result. I decided to transcribe them as <a> and <ah> respectively. Vyeshal also had <I> and <A> represent <ai> and <e> respectively. This felt confusing and made the string text confusing as to how they should be handled. Not to mention that it would mean writing capital vowels in the middle of words. So, I changed those to <ai> and <ae> respectively.

All in all, this was a fun exercise and I am thinking of expanding this project into other cryptolangs with, respectively, more alien twists on each one. Keep a look out for that.

With that said,

Zhengyek zah heel loogeeng!

Xeotaijuep'af / Wisehand

More properly called "Xeot'a Juep'af", script for this cryptolang.

[444namesplus]

Use *Lanuge cryptolang on words, use them as particles within a constructed name.

Golhar, Sanerfomafar, Balhedmon, Sarwite, Sedofcas.

*reduce all consonant clusters, e.g. "str, cr, ght" to their initial letter, and same with vowel hiatuses, e.g. "eau, ee, iia".

[conlangcrab]

I've made this cryptolang I call "Lhámon" which could be a base for a great conlang.

-> Good word generation.

-> Interesting spelling I can get behind.

-> Welsh/Gaelic vibe.

-> A part of the cryptolang's charm is the optionality of certain changes, which can be used for noun cases/verb tenses.

[cryptolangsguy]

It's a cryptolang, Eguangal in this case.

how to annoy neographists -> howtoannoyneographists -> h o wt oa nn o yn eo gr a ph i stsl o l -> l o stsl i pha gr eo yn o nn oa wt o h -> lostsliphagreoynonnoawtoh

Name derived from "how to annoy neographists lol".

Lazy stuff.
