Conlang

My personal conlang incorporates an agglutinative grammatical structure, a simple phonology and highly symbolic vocabulary. It is inspired by the languages of classical antiquity and is meant to be the language of an exotic land I have yet to fully reveal in my own creative work. All elements within this page are subject change as I refine my language and develop my conlanging skills.
