Okay. So, I'm making a series to animate and go into YouTube. It started with a fanfic that used another language using just this "<>" to indicate that they were speaking another language. But, now that people are going to be voicing these characters I must develope a very rough, yet cool sounding language. Anyone can help out! You font have to know any other language. I was thinking something that kind of sounded like the na'vi language. Or some sort of Native American language.

I don't think I'll be able to help out much, but I really recommend this playlist on youtube. it goes through some really helpful and interesting things that you might be able to use. it goes over how to create a writing system more than anything, but there's some great stuff in there for creating a spoken language, too.

[Hi! I love languages, so I might be able to help. I don't know much about the languages you're talking about, but I do know Latin, which is the basis for many languages out there.]

[Hi! I love languages, so I might be able to help. I don't know much about the languages you're talking about, but I do know Latin, which is the basis for many languages out there.] Oh, really? I take Latin as well! It's actually quite a difficult language. But it's fun to learn none-the-less. Could you help me maybe with making another language. Doesn't have to be a wide veriety of words, grammar, sentences, etc. It just has to sound good in short sentences. It's for a fan fiction I'm making and they don't speak this other language that much, but it's still important to make it sound as if many have spoken it before.

[Of course, sure! So you're looking for a language that sounds like it was spoken for a long time? I'd advise lopping off parts of words and things like that.
For example, the Latin you and I know isn't the Latin that people ended up with. By the end of the Roman Empire, people were missing 'h's from words (e.g. 'hic' became 'ic' in one famous inscription in Pompeii) so if you want to make a language sound old you should probably try and lop off parts of the words. You could use a more formal version of the language and a more simplistic, colloquial one with these missing letters]

Hmm. That's cool. You made another language too? May I see it if you did? I just want to see another person's work. Nothing will be stolen. Brownie

Sure. I'm hoping to hopefully write a good deal in this world, and the words are scattered all over the place but I can give a sentence because I know where to find that.
Guiivrai Res luivi fii aet'ivoir sae-Pval Ysiin'mai Let me do it my own way, mother. Please.
yay for main character turning points but yeah it borrows a lot from french and latin phonetics. and apostrophes are less stops and more grammatical, usually they're ignored or unstressed

I can't help you, but this is really cool! Me and my friends made up a languege. It was more of a secret code though.Example: A= a bumble bee drawing B= apple drawing Stuff like that. Then we would use it to pass notes in class!
