A language such as Esperanto is called artificial. It was deliberately created by people versed in linguistics. The languages we are accustomed to are called natural languages because they develop on their own over time. If you have a little knowledge of linguistics, you can create your own artificial language.
It is necessary
- Basic knowledge of linguistics
- Computer with internet access
Instructions
Step 1
When creating a language, decide what words it will contain. Do not limit yourself to the words that are in Russian. For example, in Brazil, the Portuguese word "kafune" means action where a person plays with their fingers in another person's hair to please. There is no equivalent word in Russian.
Step 2
Determine the word order in your language. For example, the structure of a sentence in Russian: subject-predicate-circumstance. But you can choose any other word order.
Step 3
To create your language, define how it should sound. Use the International Phonetic Alphabet Sound Chart for inspiration. In Russian, for example, not all the sounds available to the human language are used, so your own language may sound completely unusual.
Step 4
Develop the symbols of your language. The Russian language uses the alphabet. But there are other types of language systems as well. For example, in some systems, symbols represent whole ideas or words, in alphabetic systems (for example, in Russian), a symbol represents an individual sound.
Step 5
Come up with a name for your language. For example, the Thais have named the country, people and language with their own word. “Tai” means freedom.
