:katana:Okay, so I decided to continue writing out my Dwarvish language lessons... for at least lesson 2. It should be up in a few days.

I started this one following on from Lesson 1... but I'm starting to realise what a monumental thing this really is as I delve into the fine nuances of the insane undertaking of language creation. As I hit page 4 of lesson 2 at around midnight tonight, I looked back at what I had just covered... a number system that is either genius or madness and some new and more complex factors of Dwarvish grammar. These are only 2 of thousands of parts that make up a language.

When creating it, I have tried to find a way to make it, not more simple than English (though that wouldn't be hard, cause we speak one messed up language!), but really just different in ways that I think would be plausible.

In any case, the only way I think this will be getting completely written down as lessons is if I become a world famous author where the language plays a key part and attracts a large nerd following who will learn it and communicate in it like people do with Tolkien's Elvish and Okrand's Klingon. Which personally I don't think will be any time soon :)





Also, does anyone else here watch Boston Legal? I absolutely fell in love with seasons 1-3 but now season 4 seems to be letting me down big time! I think there was a writer change over from the key producer of the show, David E. Kelly, to some novices or something because the whole quality of it just seems lost...
It is as if it has been dulled down for purposes of pleasing more "simple" viewers, and this just saddens me.
