timasp Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I'm making a conlang for Alethi! For those who don't know what a conlang is, it's a constructed language, or a language that people in that world speak. It will have a real grammar, vocabulary, all that. I'm making on ConWorkShop, which is a specialised website.

NiceBleach Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Would you credit Gavilar with uniting Alethkar? Makes sense, I guess. He's the king. Maybe also credit Dalinar and Sadeas. Doesn't really matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy_Slider Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 This is amazing. Where did you get the words, is it an extract from things that Brandon has confirmed, words in the books or mostly extrapolated from a few things we already know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llarimar Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 This is really cool! My favorite part is that you have [d͡ʒ] pronounced as [j] in the lighteyed dialect - that totally settles the Jasnah/Yasnah debate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite part is that you have [d͡ʒ] pronounced as [j] in the lighteyed dialect - that totally settles the Jasnah/Yasnah debate! It's not a debate. The J in Jasnah is a y sound. Same with the modern forms of Jezrien, like Jezerezeh, thou Jezrien's name itself was actually a hard J. With darkeyes a hard J is more common like with Jost. Quote Questioner So, how do you pronounce [Jasnah's] name? Brandon Sanderson They use the J as a Y. But you don't have to say it that way, you can say it how you want. Because they actually use a guttural, sort of Middle-Eastern <koh>, which is in Kholin. You can say the names however you want, but that is the pronunciation style that I'm using. It's very Semitic, the language family. source Trying, and failing, to find the one on Jezrien... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan to add the glyphs at all, or what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagerunner Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 How do you plan on incorporating the expanded canon vocabulary going forward? For example, some of what you've created for your dictionary, we got in Oathbringer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timasp Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hello everyone, I havenn't checked this thread in FOREVER, so hoping this isn't considered a necro by the rules, I'm gonna answer some things.@Slimy_Slider I got most of the words on my own. Some are canon or inspired off of the English words for said thing (I'm referring to words like crem and spren, which have very english phonotactics) @Secrets Nope! I'll leave the glyphs to people with drawing skills. I'm just gonna make words and grammar@Pagerunner I'm just gonna keep guessing the words, making allowances for new vocabulary in new books. I am a bit scared, especially with regards to some of the darkeyed names, that really don't fit in with the phonotactics of the language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
