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' 😎

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

My thoughts on Cryptolangs

Sometimes, conlanging is too much work or it does not fit what one is going for in a project, whether it be a story or just a worldbuilding thought experiment. Sometimes, one just needs a way to make something strange without completely reinventing it. Sometimes, one just needs to create a cryptolang. But a cryptolang is just a cypher with extra steps, isn't it? Well, there could be more to this concept than meets the eye. A cryptolang's could have it's own interesting features without becoming a fully constructed language; its function can fit the themes of something being transformed into something else and can be applied to more smaller groups than an entire conlang for a larger one.

But what is a "Cryptolang?" According to @cryptolangsguy , "Cryptolangs are the perfect middle between conlangs and ciphers. They are tools which can be used to encode text, hide it's meaning but keep it pronounceable." How does it do that? By replacing phonemes with other ones. In fact, they could even replace all the consonants of a word with vowels and vowels with consonants, but that will be covered later. While the exact mechanisms of Cryptolangs are beyond the scope of this post, It is replacing letters with other letters. But it could be so much more than that.

Cryptolangs could be so much more than just a fancy cypher with extra steps, it could be creating a new language from an already existing one. For example, one could take all the letters of a word in the English language, take "green" for instance, and add the letters of that word to the end of the sentence in reverse order, producing "greenneerg." Now, comparisons are formed through the affixing of "-er" for comparatives and "-est" for superlatives to the end of a word. One could do the same for this theoretical cryptolang and produce the conjugated formes "greenerreneerg" and "greenesttseneerg" and that would be an interesting grammatical feature already because it already created infixes, affixes that go within a word. A strange feature indeed. But why stop there? Could there be another way of marking comparison? What if one were to create a new rule in which removing the first letter creates a comparative and the last one creates a superlative? Thus, we get "reenneerg" for "greener" and "greenneer" for "greenest." Does this count as a constructed language? maybe. But it is for sure that the aesthetic and grammar of the language is based on the already English language and grammar and the letters haven't even been rearranged yet. There is so much potential for using such transformations in a thematic way.

One of those themes could be the exploration of how an individual's physical transformation is reflected in their speech. For example, taking the above framework that has already been created, the individual who speaks this language could be obsessed with symmetry and balance. Thus, all the words they say become palindromes and the modifications reflect their own biases in choosing one side over another. Of course, this is more reverse engineering a theme from what one already has. A less cumbersome way would be to come up with the character's, well, character and build the features off of those aspects. Granted, this is more artistic than technical so what is considered for features can vary from creator to creator.

However, these features can be applied to individuals, small groups, or even entire nations, in larger number than a fully original constructed language. According to Mark Rosenfelder himself, the author of the Language Construction Kit, Advanced Language Construction, Conlangers' Lexipedia, and Syntax Construction Kit, the bulk of a conlang's work is in coming up with a lexicon, all the words. With a Cryptolang, a lexicon naturally arises from the changes one makes to the letters of each word with each rule laid out. Naturally, these letter changes can lead to mergers and synonyms. Though, theoretically, one can come up with ways to distinguish words from a source language. But that is a thought experiment for another day. What is possible is that one can create all sorts of cryptolangs by setting up rules, changing them, mixing them together, or stacking one set of cryptolang rules on top of another. It is relatively faster to create rules for a cryptolang's phonology and grammar than it is to come up with an entire lexicon in an original constructed language. Thus, one can create more cryptolangs in comparison to a single conlang.

So, in summary, Cryptolangs can have interesting features, they can reflect the lexical aspects of a character's physical transformation, and they can be more productive than conlangs. Hopefully, this badly worded essay will open you cryptolangers' eyes to the potential of these sorts of creations whether you are a veteran with a thousand under their belt or a rookie creating their very first. Thank you all for reading this, and till next time! ;)

For this one you have to know what cryptolangs are. Search the @cryptolangsguy.

Encode English with Lanuge and write the resulted words backwards, stressing the penultimate syllable. Then apply MNDP after defining the phonetic values of every English letter in 1:1 relation.

Example -> /exame/ -> /e'maxe/ -> /e'max/

Make a dictionary like this, creating the derivational morphology and grammar later on.

Pinned post

Hi! My name is Arcee and I am a worldbuilder with a BIG interest in neography.

This blog is nothing more than a stash of ALL of my neographies that I have documented since I began doing neography by the beginning of 2022. You can view the scripts faster by using the archive.

Mainer blog is @thecrazyworldbuilder, visit it and also my other blogs, @444names, @cryptolangsguy and @verical.

I will begin listing my neographies from the very beginning of the documented list, tagging each with the blog's tag, as well as couple more.

I have open commissions for artistic designs using my neographies, or I can create a neographic script for you!

If the project takes less than an hour to finish, you get the end result free of charge (accepting tips, you pay what you think the script is worth), longer than that depends on the amount of symbols and time spent designing the script; the standard English alphabet cipher with 26 symbols costs 30$.

On my pfp is Ahimiko, the mascot of this blog. She is an anthro canine of mixed heritage, and is a powerful symbolomancer (mage specializing in casting via projecting symbols of different kinds: the stronger the symbolism, the deeper the mysticism, and the more complex the symbol the more precise and specific is the spell she casts). Say hi! :D

Most of my scripts are purely ciphers for English. I do not care to make conlangs for every single one of them, for I enjoy the act of creation.

On creation: Some anon asked for the methods I use to create cohesive and constant-style scripts. A good post on my other blog might help, listing the methods.

NOTE THAT ALL OF MY CREATIONS ARE FREE TO USE, BUT YOU MUST CREDIT ME AS THE CREATOR/NOTIFY ME BEFORE USING THEM IN YOUR COMIC, ART, BOOK OR ANYTHING

As well - feel free to ask for assistance and guidance in usage of my scripts in DMs; Some of them lack explanation, and might be bit confusing.

And finally, please, if you like my work, spare a bit of money for my Ko-Fi.

ASK BOX RULES:

Refrain from using anonymous asks, since it cuts off the possibility of me responding more directly into your DMs if I deem them impossible to answer via post and won't be able to notify you about it, making me look rude.

You can send positive feedback - it will be stored in the bottom of this post (see below).

You can send requests for scripts, like "Futhark but more like Ogham", or "a Katakana chart inspired by Klingon". Those are free, unlike the commissions, hence I am not required to do adjustments, follow the idea 1:1, nor I am required to make them in the first place.

Don't ask for tips, guidance, or tutorials: This blog is purely an archive of my works. If you need help, go to @conlangcrab where I will answer your asks directly, just remember to address them to "Arcee", since the blog is run by two people there.

Updates on this post below:

I make neographic scripts for already existing writing systems (like Latin or Katakana) because I can't create a conlang for every single aesthetic I can come up with for a writing system.

By Ides of March, 2023, this blog has 350 distinct scripts documented, all created by me.

A pinterest user has been repeatedly stealing my works I've posted on Reddit without notifying or crediting me.

By 4/4/2023, there are over 400 scripts documented.

By 3rd of May, there are over 500 scripts documented.

By 27 of June, there are exactly 600 scripts documented.

Positive anon asks under the cut (you are encouraged to send more!)

<3

Sure thing! Thank you UwUb

Thanki ;w;b Well, I do have some WIP or UFO (never meant to be finished WIPs) conlangs, but I don't have scripts for them really. I do ciphers because they are A) Simple to make, B) Are a good display of just enough symbol styles for a demonstration of an idea, thus, a good "advertisement" for my product, which are neographies.

QoQb I will never stop indeed, as long as I can move my hands xD

In fact I answered this one, but didn't say thanks for the warm words Q~Qb

:)

Sure thing liege, all free-to-use :D

Really in love with cryptolangs honestly. I know some people say tis' but a childish game but I see further, I see meta-storytelling potential, conlang helping tool, secret argot.

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

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.

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

Hey I love your work. Listen, I want to hear what your favorite topic is. What's something you could talk extensively about and never get bored? What has your unflagging enthusiasm and dedication?

Make it a long post! Put your heart out there! You do so much for us, I want to hear about your favorite things now. (If this isn't allowed, I am also always eager to hear about map making!)

Oh. Oh hoho.

Well I in general love worldbuilding. But in total, my interest leans towards things that are... Easier, so to say.

Neography, for example, as the "flavor" of worldbuilding. Conlangs, albeit I do tend to lean towards cryptolangs more. And mapmaking, solely geographic that is. Nations and stuff gets too trickier after a while.

I am planning on making a YouTube channel with me ranting about majority of my worldbuilding-related stuffs, with no bullshit statements like "hard worldbuilding is objectively better than soft worldbuilding" because... Those are made up terms. And as a linguist/etymologist I fucking hate made up terms. A rock is a rock, no matter what language. Things like laziness, gender, or duty and honor. Those are abstract, and easily manipulated, easily twisted. Hell in many cases these things do not exist at all (I personally don't believe in nationality, laziness and gender. Nationality is a defunct tool of uniting primitive people together, laziness is always a sign of disability or dismotivation, and gender is just bullshit).

But I could rant just a little I guess, for you the asker xD

Neography.

How genius it is to sometimes see a whole script become the face of a franchise, instantly recognizable and fancy. Tengwar, Klingon, Vulcan, Daedric, Aurebesh - You name it, they are all tasty as pie. They are done beautifully and by experts, high standard and fancy looking, unlike some scripts I prefer to call "cereal box ciphers" (The most notorious example for me is the Artemis Fowl Gnommish script. Just why.)

My @thecrazyneographist and now @fuckyeahasemic sideblogs are dedicated just to that - Neography. As well @verical, dedicated solely to my Verical script.

I have been commissioned by a comic artist in Chicago to create a script for him, have worked with r/starfall for a while, and right now my already invented scripts Satuuoorn and Wisehand/Xeotaijuep'af are being used by a gamedev for a first-person shooter/slasher >:D

I have. So many writing utensils at home. I have written calligraphy with a sharpened chopstick once. I still own it I think.

Gods just. NEOGRAPHY. It's knowledge put in written form - I am writing right now and it's a whole experience! I know how to write in Latin yes, but other scripts, scripts of MY making... That's a different experience. I can write in several made-up scripts by me: Age Mason, Verical, Taenic/Taenian and Bosutoku/Tetumonigo.

Conlangs.

Me and a friend are running @conlangcrab about them.

Conlangs are such an intricate part of worldbuilding. They give the world their own sound.

Though I am too driven-crazy by ADHD and unable to keep my sails steady on a singular conlang project, unmedicated, I usually prefer cryptolangs instead; An invention/coined word o'mine standing for "the middle between conlangs and ciphers; ciphers that change written information while keeping it pronounceable". Check out @cryptolangsguy for more info on that.

I so dislike when conlangs are done bad* in worldbuilding; Just as I dislike bad neography. In many cases writers are monolingual and really don't know the struggle of knowing several languages (fyi, I know 3 irl. bugger, ong).

Mapmaking.

I will just share all the maps I've ever created JUST for the RP server I am DMing, as well as the current map of Raskol - The setting for the oncoming Caramel Dice playtesting campaign.

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

To be honest am a bit in love with onomastics in worldbuilding.

Making lists of names you can give to characters - names that were chosen by their parents, surnames that were passed down and worn in pronunciation so much.

Names of places, weapons, pets.

But as well I love the means of generating them. While yes, sometimes it is fun to make and design a whole lot of names with some "naming conlang" approach to them (aka making a dictionary and some rules of combining words but no grammar), encoding words to turn them into names sounds good too me as well.

As a person who made like, almost a million of Markov-chain generated names on @444names* (free access btw, no need to notify me but please do leave a comment or some mail if you like my work), I also have incorporated some naming conventions into my worlds as cryptolangs (see @cryptolangsguy - my other blog)

.

Some of my worlds have a preset religion of sorts I call "The Church of Stland", centered about Holy Spirit of the Holy Land of Stland. While the details vary from time to time (in some worlds the church might be actually good guys, in others - a caricature of the religious leaders of today and the cults they lead), the idea remains the same.

Their naming convention for monks (and, in some settings, for all believers altogether) is almost dumb.

-> Take a word starting with "st". -> Erase the said "st"

Resulting in names like Ranger, Erling, Andard, Ructure, Atuette, Rength, Arship, Igmata...

.

Or for example the Awara, aka aolmpehgaa, from Mirves (Spring World).

Being sentient spirits from the plane of wisdom they visit the physical realm to study from the living, and to do so, craft themselves a body from any physical matter their telekinetic will can find.

Having no names in the plane of wisdom, they name each other by one simple convention:

-> Take a word describing or associated with the individual. -> Replace all vowels with the first vowel appearing in the word.

Resulting in names like Rivilit, Birdwitchir, Silvir, Ookbronch, Antlars, Anthall, Gardanraka, Advasar, Unuquu, Treehegger, Carafal...

.

In another setting, which is more of a sketch I can return to if needed, has a species of dark, wild nature protectors who turn other people into their kin - like vampires, but through different rituals.

They are called Speideks, owl-footed, conjoined-horned, mask-faced and spade-tailed purple keepers of the wilderness and the night. Their naming convention is more off-canon; It isn't mentioned in the lore itself, but the scheme is supposed to be used.

-> Take word. -> Apply the Deites cryptolang to the first and last letter of it, adding an apostrophe for initial clusters and adding a Y for final clusters.

Giving light to names like Sives, Leepes, T'Toni, Q'Redatos, Uol, Castarfy, Cetray, H'Ravet, Gaithfum, Doasvy, D'Hallengi, Valmy, T'Pruci, Q'Rotectos, Fanci, Qetrifief, Tilenvy...

.

Souax - a species of high-tech aliens - have their names literally based on interpreting upside-down handwriting.

The Deninocs (also from Mirves - like the Awara) have a joke of a language that is just shortening all words to the first three letters and writing them together - somlikthiigue. That applies to their names too.

A royal bloodline from one of my WIP worlds, Lenedos, have a naming tradition promised to keep their family name alive and prosperous, which includes taking words in local tongue and putting them kind of backwards, modifying with a feminine or masculine suffix and a prefix if needed.

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!

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

COME IN COME ALL

I've listed ALL of my neographic scripts in one blog!

Consider following because I will post there from time to time, documenting new scripts!

TURNS OUT, AT THE POINT OF WRITING THIS POST, I HAD ABOUT 265 SCRIPTS CREATED BY ME.

[thecrazyworldbuilder]

The Prophecy Script, also known as Prophecios

Prophecios is an alphabetic script for English and other languages written with Latin. It has 7 punctuational marks, one of which does not appear in English and indicates an end of a word (listed above as "_").

Some letters in Prophecios have variants, which can differentiate in handwriting and different fonts. The only big exception is the pair of letters I and Y, which can be reduced to a single dot above or below the written line, without the loop which is present in the main form of the letter. Both letters can be reduced to save space.

Prophecios is already a complete script I am very proud of, but it can be expanded with various additional materials such as the numerals (working on them), vowel diacritics and extended Latin letters such as Ð, Ñ, Þ and ß.

Here are some prime examples of text written in Prophecios en mass.

Prophecios bears some vague similarity to the Syriac writing systems.

I might use it as a script for one of my prime projects, as a writing script of a specific race of people in it to be more specific.

The word "Prophecios" itself is "prophecies" encoded via a cryptolang; Even though the only change is in one vowel, still, it makes a difference. The cryptolang it is encoded with is called "Menorius" and I will post about it later on my @cryptolangsguy blog.

Prophecios is spelled as /pɹʊfɛʦiʊs/ or /pɹʊfɛsiʊs/. For those who don't know IPA: [pro-feh-tsi-Os] and [prophecy-Os]

Hello @kaasandt my third eye sees you liked the PSEUDO-LANGUAGES post so here's a quick welcome message with some info for your awareness:

Pseudo-languages have been renamed to Cryptolangs - this is shorter and more easy to say. The word is coined on the Modern Dictionary and has it's own subreddit now: r/cryptolangs. There you can find the CDS - Cryptolangs Documentation Standard - which will be useful in the future.

You can visit my other blog @cryptolangsguy and follow for cryptolang keys and other activities.

The original post that you liked is almost two years old I believe, so many things have evolved since then.

Hope this helps and welcome aboard the crazy train of the crazy worldbuilder -w-
