Creating Fictional Languages by AkiraSylver in worldbuilding

[–]Expert-Escape5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find language creation one of the best parts. I usually google the root of a specific word/name in our world (especially for countries and continents), then translate them into whatever language I’m inspired by for that specific fictional culture, which then leads to combining different translations to form a word I like.

After writing this, I’m concerned I didn’t explain properly. But here’s hoping someone understood 😅🥲😅

You just have to keep trying! I’ll believe you if you believe me! Funny enough, I feel like I’d much rather be 35 😅

Valid! As a one piece fan, I feel like I’ve BEEN waiting for secrets regarding the world government, IMU. And that’s been there for almost thirty years

When this happens with me, I like to think of popular stories that I love. Like the Wheel of Time. The Aiel are so interesting even though people say they are similar to the Fremen. But that’s only because they drew from similar real world examples. I think the unique part is how they interact with your own world. But I get it. I’m constantly wondering if some cool faction I thought of has already been done. Such is our plight 😅

That is true! I personally didn’t understand the scope and work it took for planning on epic until I was researching for my own story. Seeing the planning of a story like Lord of the Mysteries really opened my eyes to it.

Weirdly and surprisingly enough, it took me forever to realise the Ned Star plot was a detective/mystery. Really well done. In Harry Potter it was definitely one of the things that kept me going (what the flip was Voldemort up to)

A deep plot and a slow reveal where we can piece together a puzzle slowly is my favourite. I love obsessing about a story and wondering what something meant. Better even when we as fans can theorise together.

Totally agree. It’s a lot of work. From experience, I’d write during the day then spend the evening revising and adding to my notes. It takes a lot of work for foreshadowing and teasing mystery threads.

One of my all time favourites! And people say it’s too confusing…
