So. I started up in an RPG today, and I realized that I had to create a language for my character. Anyways. The details of this language will follow soon. But first, a bit of a background: The language was created by Vasilis Etikas (My character) when he reached a revelation in his life. A divine figure visited him in the night, and told him that he is to start Kameni Diatagi (Greek for Lost Order), and lead his people to freedom.
Kameni Diatagi is a guild of pacifistic magicians, which is why they speak this language, along with the language of the time: This language is what allows them to do magic, such as the (crappy) language in Eragon. What follows are the details:ENKIDetails: Magical language.

Prepositions more prominent.)The language is rather Agglutinative, so to speak. Whole sentences are made into a word based upon how you like to read the sentence. Agglutination or not is up to the writer.__VERBS__End in -kiReplace -ki with conjugation.Conjugated as following:EX.

I know that the language has a lot of weird pronunciation issues, but it's somewhat like Enochian: A magic language that is a bit hard to pronounce in many cases. But, in any case, this is it.Also, note that this is far from done.
You have way too much fucking time on your hands.
No, I don't have enough time. I can't finish the other 10 or so ones I'm working on.
You should try make it like Latin, where there are a few suffixs/prefixs/midfixs and they all merge togther to explain every new finding.
I find that I understand and remember science terms when I'm told their Greek/Latin meaning.That reminds me of Tolkein, inventing a langauge for this sort of purpose.
Melee, I've invented a language for just about everything I can think of. I've invented over 10, as I have probably said.
Serprex, I already did that with another language. But latin doesn't have that many prefixes and midfixes, as far as I remember. It has inflected forms of nouns to show the case in a sentence, and the number, so, basically, if it's nominative, accusative, genitive, ablative, or what have you.See, you're confusing Latin with an Agglutinative language, or more or less, a synthetic language, where meaning of something is derived from multiple affixes and morphemes. Such as Mohawk. Or Finnish. Although Finnish is just extremely Agglutinative.Besides, whatever happened to suprafixes, like in english: Produce/Produce. One means to make something, to produce something, and the other, is what you buy in the store. The only way we know the difference is pretty much because of the suprafix: The change of a phoneme.Ya, learning the derivites is about the best I have with language.
I like the language of the universe,math…But on the note of human babble, do you know of a good site to learn babble?Learning derivatives. Fun. Anyways. I suppose that math is the language of the universe. But languages are fun.
There's sites everywhere. Just look harder.But what language could possibly be better than one I make? Haha.I never get the chance to discuss language with people.Do you find that languages seem to have a pattern?
I always get annoyed when they start making exceptions, I went to french immersion. Gendering stuff is a waste of time…Not all languages have a pattern. Gendering is a waste of time, but it makes it funner to learn a language…
Anyways. Blah.Gender stuff is easy in French. At least, I have no problem with it. The thing I have problems with is tenses.
