Gamer's Gate Languages

There are a number of languages spoken across the worlds. However, they all employ the same written form. Lumescant, in it quest for efficiency in communication, developed the universal written form, and restructured their own spoken language and archives centuries earlier over three generations.

List of Languages

 * Kokanon (a.k.a. English)
 * The language they speak in Lumescant
 * Calatian
 * Zapolebhan

Spoken language
It is important to avoid copyright, so 'owned' languages should be examined before they are used. Currently, I'm in favour of Lumescant's language being based on Lojban, a real world language constructed artificially in the 90s to be perfectly unambiguous.

Only 2,000 or so people currently speak it, so I'd say we're pretty safe regarding recognition, unlike Tolkien's Elvish similarities to Finnish and Welsh. I've contacted the group, hope to hear back soon. Currently, I can find no evidence of legal copyright to worry about.

In the meantime, you can read the articles on language from Wikipedia to get the terminology of linguistics down.

Scripts
As you are an artist I recommend you develop your own; I imagine you'd prefer that anyway. I recommend brushing up on the international phonetic alphabet to learn all the possible sounds you will have to consider covering. Remember that while the spoken language of Lumescant may be Lojban, the Kokanon people speak English, so their sounds, and those of Calatia and Zapolebh, must be brought into consideration.

The IPA, and learn how to read in IPA, will be invaluable in constructing a language whether spoken or just written, as it is universal in its translation.

Finally, here is the imgur gallery with some reference scripts. Remember to take note of why certain forms developed as they did.

To Dave,

What i will probably do is set a certain day out of every week aside specifically for language creation. This is actually something id love to see done because i believe the languages will end up creating solid bases for the worlds. Sncee the holiday season is ending soon i intend on starting ASAP
