While we've been known to occasionally make up our own words, our guests in this week's special episode do it for a living. David J. Peterson and Jessie Peterson are professional linguists and conlangers—those are people who construct their own languages—and you've heard their work in Dune, Shadow & Bone, Elemental, Game of Thrones and, of course, The Witcher. What's involved in creating an all-new language? How long does the process take? How difficult is it to teach it to actors? And have they created any swear words of which they're particularly proud? (Look, you knew we were going to ask.) David and Jessie answer these questions and many more, while sharing secrets about the musical language they created for Sirens of the Deep. They even answer one of our burning questions about the film's ending, so while you may not end the episode fluent in the elder tongue, you WILL learn something new. You can find David J. Peterson on Bluesky and AO3 at @dedalvs and on Instagram at @athdavrazar. Jessie Peterson can be found at @quothalinguist on both Bluesky and Instagram, and her Conlang Year experience can be found at quothalinguist.com. Watch David and Jessie conlang live at @LangTimeStudio on YouTube.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.Hey, jan Tokawi here, and we're going to be talking about languages.jan Tokawi is my Toki Pona name. Toki Pona is a language that I had not heard about until three weeks ago. It's a Conlang, a constructed language, meaning that it was created by, in this case, basically one human being and then a community formed around her.The entire language consists of somewhere around 140 words or so.And as I'm learning Spanish and dealing with 50 or so different forms of each verb, there's something very appealing about a language I can learn in a weekend.When I encountered the Toki Pona community, I became intrigued about the implications of communicating using such a limited vocabulary.What's it like trying to get complex ideas across? How do we make sure that our conversation partner or reader understands what we mean?And then I thought, Gee, I've got that same problem in my native tongue. Maybe there's stuff I can learn here that can make me a more effective communicator in English.I reached out to jan Usawi, who is a proficient speaker of Toki Pona, and also a musician who write lyrics in the language.In our conversation, we explore lots of philosophy and epistomology and other long Greek words.To my delight, we even tied it into transformational healing and the linguistics of radical mindset shifts.And — and this will make sense if you watch the video — we explored the function of jan Usawi's antlers.Enjoy!LinksSina – song by jan UsawiDivergent Translation presentation by jan UsawiToki Pona official siteRobWords video intro to Toki Ponajan Usawi on YouTubejan Usawi on Bandcampjan Usawi on PatreonNo Bad Parts, by Richard Schwartz (book about Internal Family Systems)Maria Mison – gamesSupport the Show.
In unserer neuesten Podcastfolge tauchen wir tief in das faszinierende Universum der Kunstsprachen ein. Kunstsprachen? Ganz genau! Diese von Menschen konstruierten Sprachen sind nicht nur eine Spielerei von Sprachliebhaber*innen oder Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Fans, sondern tragen oft tiefgründige kulturelle und politische Visionen in sich und erfüllen teilweise ganz praktische Zwecke.In dieser Folge richten wir unser besonderes Augenmerk auf Esperanto – die wohl erfolgreichste Plansprache der Welt.

There aren't many multilingual, multinational television shows that have been running for nearly seven decades. But what makes the Eurovision Song Contest so special to me is not the music, or the dancing, or the costumes that range from spangletastic to tear-off: no, it's the people butting heads about language. Historian Dean Vuletic, author of Postwar Europe and the Eurovision Song Contest, recounts the many changes in Eurovision's language rules, and its language hopes and dreams. This is the first of a two-part Eurovisionallusionist. In the next instalment: dictators. Protests. Boom Bang-A-Bang Ding-a-Dong Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley.

Grab your stake and crucifix pendant, we're going vampire-hunting! Well, vampire-etymology-hunting. The podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, which recaps the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode by episode, invited me to answer their listeners' questions of language that the show had provoked. Together with BVTS hosts Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen Youngs, I tackle the etymology of coven, vampire/vampyre, wigging out, the name Buffy and Bovril; as well as google as a verb, conlang on TV, and why Latin is so often the language of spells and spookiness.

This week we're talking about all the ways humans express themselves including a stories about a recent find that may be the world's most ancient, and how the things we use to read affect our comprehension. The highlight is a conversation with David J. Peterson, a language creator that has helped build the languages that made the world your favorite shows and movies inhabit feel richer and more vibrant. The list of projects he has worked on is too long to list completely, but some of the highlights include the 2021 remake of Dune, Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon, HBO's Game of Thrones, Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem, SyFy's Defiance, and many many many more.

Conlang is a noun that refers to an artificially created language. Our word of the day came around in the 1990s. It is short for ‘constructed language.' The conlang of Klingon from the TV show Star Trek may be the best example of a conlang. It originated on the show itself and continued by fans. When we were kids, my sister and I tried to create a conlang of our own, but it didn't get very far. In the end, we discovered the world was just fine with the already existing language and wasn't hungry for a new one.

Hildegard av Bingen var en av det medeltida Europas mest begåvade personer. Hon är känd som tonsättare och intellektuell, men hon skapade också ett eget språk. Magnus Florin fascineras av projektet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Publicerad första gången den 5 mars mars 2019. Jag minns ett besök hos Willy Kyrklund, författaren, resenären och inte minst språkkännaren. Vi hade stämt träff en eftermiddag i hans hem utanför Uppsala och jag kom dit på utsatt tid, ringde på porten, men utan resultat. Dörren var öppen, jag steg in, det var tyst därinne, hade något hänt? Nej, det visade sig att han helt enkelt tog en tupplur och jag beslöt mig för att vänta. Lät blicken vandra längs bokhyllorna, såg Euripides dramatik i grekiskt original och flera persiska verk. På en trave böcker låg ett öppnat litet kuvert med ett brev, handskrivet i stora bokstäver. Man ska inte tjuvtitta, men min nyfikenhet beviljade undantag och jag läste. Avsändaren var en elvaårig pojke som hade sett Kyrklund berätta i tv att han som just elvaåring hade skapat ett alldeles eget språk med nya ord. Och nu undrade den brevskrivande pojken hur Willy hade gjort, för det ville pojken väldigt gärna göra, han också skapa ett eget språk. Ja, vad är det som är så lockande inte bara för elvaåringar i att uppfinna nya språk och nya ord? Ranzgia är ett ord som inte kan hittas i något vanligt lexikon. Ranzgia, det betyder tunga och är uppfunnet av Hildegard av Bingen, den tyska 1100-talsnunnan, berömd för så mycket. I musikvärlden är Hildegard den stora pionjären som skapare av vokalmusik, bortglömd i flera sekler men i våra dagar återupptäckt med ständigt nya uppföranden och inspelningar. För teologer och filosofer är hon den främsta intellektuella kvinnan i sin tid, den benediktinska abbedissan och klostergrundaren som brevväxlade med kejsare och påvar, ibland kallad Sibyllan från Rhenlandet. Konsthistorikerna uttolkar hennes religiösa visioner som hon fångade i praktfulla och färgrika målerier. Och både idéhistoriker och naturmedicinare har näsan i hennes skrifter om örter, mineraler, kosmos och läkekonst. Tidigt sågs hon som helgon i den katolska kyrkan och blev 2012 kanoniserad av påven, med fortsatt och stigande berömmelse som följd. Men mindre berömd, nästan helt obekant, har Hildegard varit som skapare av nya ord. Ranzgia var inte hennes enda ordskapelse. Här är några till ord: Zirinz finger. Scorintz hjärta. Foscal fot. Auziel Vatten. Jag skulle kunna fortsätta med uppräkningen ganska länge. För Hildegard skapade en helt egen språkvärld med över tusen ord, samlade och bevarade i två samtida handskrifter. Jag läser hennes nyord i en utgåva av den främsta kännaren av denna språkvärld, den amerikanska medeltidsforskaren Sarah Higley. Titeln på hennes bok är Hildegard av Bingens okända språk och det var just vad Hildegard själv kallade det hon skapat ett okänt språk, Lingua ignota på latin. Okänt i betydelsen att det var ett nytt språk, annorlunda än alla de kända. Vissa har antagit att Hildegard var i färd med att bygga ett eget gudstjänstspråk Men varför uppfann Hildegard ett eget språk? Egentligen är det inte ett helt språk, utan en mycket lång ordlista med substantiv i obestämd form som en inventarieförteckning över vad som finns på jorden. Och Hildegard väjer inte för det allra mest jordiska, även det som ansågs lågt, vulgärt och syndfullt: Suinz svett. Maluiza prostituerad. Menguiz avföring. Zirzer anus. Creuviz penis. Fragizlanz slida. Artonhundratalets filologer ville inte tänka att nunnan Hildegard hade befattat sig med sådana ord så de beslöt att hennes nya språk inte alls var hennes, utan gjort av någon annan. Men dagens forskare är överens om att Hildegard är upphovskvinnan. Och att hon såg som sin avsikt att noga förteckna allt jordiskt, just för att det är en del av skapelsen. I handskrifterna är varje ord försett med en översättning till två språk, latin och tyska, just som i ett lexikon. Fast i det här lexikonet finns de främmande orden ingen annanstans än inom lexikonet. Bara en enda gång låter Hildegard ett nyuppfunnet ord ta plats i den vanliga världen. Det sker i en av hennes sånger: O Orzchis Ecclesia. Ecclesia är lika med kyrka, men Orzchis det är ett påhittat ord som bara finns hos henne, med betydelsen väldig. Så O Orzchis Ecclesia betyder O väldiga kyrka. Vissa har antagit att Hildegard var i färd med att bygga ett eget gudstjänstspråk, till användning i klostret som hon ledde. Men användning och nytta är inte kärnan i hennes ordskapande. Hon försökte knappast bilda något alternativ till latinet som religiöst ceremonispråk. Inte heller något nytt universellt idealspråk, i stil med esperanto. Vad var då avsikten? Flera har menat att det var ett adamitiskt projekt att Hildegard avsåg att återskapa Adams tungomål, urspråket i Bibeln, det som den första människan uttalade när han på Guds maning gav namn till alla djuren. Ja, man kan säga att hon gör som Adam - men det verkligt fascinerande är att hon inte alls försöker återskapa, utan vill skapa något alldeles nytt. Hon en medeltida kvinna gör sig till en ny Adam, en ny ord- och världmakare. Med den djärva handlingen är Hildegard en magnifik kraft i 1100-talet som förändringens och förvandlingens sekel då människans vetande och kunnande manifesterade sig i de första universitetens framväxt och i mäktiga katedralbyggen utan motstycke. Hildegard visade att också språket kunde tänkas och skapas på nytt. På så vis har hon blivit en hyllad förebild bland våra dagars språkskapare och sådana skapare finns i en häpnadsväckande omfattning. Conlang är budordet, conlang som kortform för constructed languages konstruerade språk och på internet finns en intensiv trafik mellan hängivna språkskapare från hela världen: lingvister, matematiker, programmerare och filosofer. För dem är J.R.R. Tolkien den ofrånkomliga pionjären, lika mycket en språkskapare som berättelseskapare. Men Hildegard är 800 år före Tolkien. Hon är den verkliga pionjären. Och vill vi förstå vad hon var ute efter kan vi tänka på ett ord som ofta återkommer hos henne ordet grönska. Hon ville få språket och människan och världen att grönska med de nya orden, ge frisk sav till de jordiska språk som vissnat. bland alla sina över tusen uppfunna ord lät hon just ordet dotter vara tomt. Så blir hon en remarkabel kusin till alla ordvrängande trubadurer och poeter genom tiderna, metaforiker som språkmaterialister - och till alla historiens banditer och barnungar som pratat rövarspråk och fikonspråk. Kort sagt en kusin till alla som inte nöjer sig med det språk som redan finns. Ett ord saknas i hennes lexikon, ett av de allra enklaste - ordet dotter. Orden för mor och far finns med, liksom bror, syster och son. Men inte dotter. Tankarna går till hur Hildegard som åttaårig flicka gavs bort av sina föräldrar till ett kloster. Hon blev ingens dotter. Och bland alla sina över tusen uppfunna ord lät hon just ordet dotter vara tomt. Jag tänker återigen på den där elvaåriga pojken och hans brev till Willy Kyrklund. Medan jag väntade på att Kyrklund skulle vakna från sin tupplur läste jag brevet igen. Med pojkens fråga hur man skapar ett eget språk med nya ord. Hur gör man? Jag tror att Willy Kyrklund kunde ha ett antal goda råd att ge. Men jag vet inte om pojken fick svar. Och jag själv hade inte tillfälle att fråga den gången, för Kyrklund fortsatte att sova och jag beslöt mig för att komma tillbaka en annan gång.

Sci-fi fantasy worlds often use constructed languages (or conlangs for short) as a worldbuilding tool that can make us believe the characters come from an ancient or alien culture. But art can take on a life of its own once it's released into the world -- and so do languages. Marc Okrand, inventor of the Klingon language, and David J. Peterson, inventor of the Dothraki language and The 100's Trigedasleng, talk about the surprises they encountered. I also talk with Lawrence M. Schoen of the Klingon Language Institute and Robyn Stewart, the language consultant for Star Trek: Discovery, about why the Klingon culture spilled over into the real world. And Jen Usellis -- a.k.a. Klingon Pop Warrior -- will give you a serious case of earworms, and we're not talking about the mind-controlling earworms from Star Trek II.

Blue, on the other hand, was regarded as a girls' color, because it was considered dainty. It wasn't until the 1940s that marketers started to switch it around. Jeanne Maglaty has a great article about this in Smithsonian Magazine, called "When did Girls Start Wearing Pink?"http://bit.ly/eDOeYgTo slake your thirst is to quench your thirst. But some people have been switching it to slate your thirst or other variants. It's a classic case of an eggcorn, or one of those words that people mishear, and then start pronouncing incorrectly; for example, when misheard, acorn can become eggcorn. http://bit.ly/HG4mWhat does it mean to gazump someone? This phrase, specifically meaning "to swindle a customer in a real estate deal," came about in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s before disappearing and then popping up again in England in the 1970s. Whether or not the term is in vogue, the practice seems to be a mainstay.How do you indicate sarcasm in a text message or an email? If winky emoticons aren't your thing, try left-leaning italics, as recommended by sartalics.com.http://bit.ly/reQ86lThe Arabic idiom in the apricot season translates to "in your dreams," presumably because the growing season for this fruit is so brief. Incidentally, the etymological root of "apricot," which means "to ripen early," is shared with the word precocious.The Egyptian Arabic saying, ate the camel and all it carried, is the equivalent of "to eat someone out of house and home."--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!

August 16, 2009 Alice in Wonderland "The Queen's Croquet Ground" Part Two.This film continues a chapter from "Alice In Wonderland". Lewis Carroll's original English text is translated into the invented language of Tapissary. The glyphic script of that language has various forms. The style used here is read from right to left, and from the base support of a phrase to its top. The phrasal structure builds up like a vine growing against a trellis. In the art style, a whole phrase is composed as a shape with accumulating layers rather than a taught linear string. This means that each phrase has a multitude of possible constructions. A writer must think in terms of balance, and work with the malleable glyphs for a pleasing composition. The style merges script with drawing, something that occurs in many calligraphic traditions world-wide.
I had major problems with a new computer this month, so Alice in Wonderland is still on hold. I’m presenting this short episode to take the Aug 1 slot. I’m going to read you an expression that you may have heard before. First I’ll read it in the original French, then I’ll follow up with the English translation: ‘Il faut manger pour vivre, et non pas vivre pour manger’. This means: ‘One must eat to live, and not live to eat’. It was written by Molière for his play called ‘L’Avare’. He wrote it in 1668, and it remains a sound piece of advice for many people to this day. ‘One must eat to live, and not live to eat’ looks like this in Tapisssary: Oñ tsa al la yash, na yashs ala. Although I believe the general truth of Moliere’s message, there are days when the pastry shop overrides his philosophy. A day such as today, when I live for a certain slice of pie, with wiped cream on top. Since today’s subject is a French sentence translated into Tapisssary, I will explain the above once again, but this time for my French speaking visitors. Bon appétit. .......................................................................................................................................en français J’expériençais de maintes problèmes avec mon nouvel ordinateur le mois de Juillet, donc je suis obligé de renvoyer à plus tard l’histoire de Alice in Wonderland . Ce court épisode-ci la remplace pour le créneau du premier août. Avez-vous déja entendu cette phrase? “Il faut manger pour vivre, et non pas vivre pour manger’. C’est Molière qui a écrit cette phrase dans son oeuvre L’Avare, en 1668, et la sagesse de cette philosophie reste jusqu’à nos jours. “Il faut manger pour vivre, et non pas vivre pour manger’ s’écrit comme ça dans la langue de tapissary: Oñ tsa al la yash, na yashs ala. Bien que je crois en la verité de la remarque de Molière, il y a des jours quand la pâtisserie vainc sa philosophie. Un jour comme aujourd’hui, quand je vie pour une certaine tranche de gâteau, celle-la à la creme frâiche.
Episode 7 “A Preview”July 16, 2009 This week, I’m giving a preview of the upcoming episode which will be a continuation of Chapter 7 from Alice in Wonderland. Because I’m adding some animation to that entry, it is taking longer than the alloted 2 weeks to construct. So I’m filling in with a preview for this week, which gives me the opportunity to explain about ‘poetic’ script, and animation. Episode 8 with Alice in Wonderland is slated for Aug. 1, 2009.
Episode 6: "The Queen's Croquet Ground" Part IEpizod 6: "Yit Cwanoson Croquet Texxa" Meros IThis week's episode begins chapter 7 in the novel 'Alice in Wonderland', translated into Tapissary. The entire film is spoken in Tapissary with English subtitles.
June 1, 2009Episode 4: The Baroque Ocean (Lesson on the plural) In episode 3 (The Alligator Captain), there was mention of the Baroque Ocean (Baroc Oshianno). In this episode, I take you right to the ‘sea floor’. The formation and pronunciation of the plural is explained in the second half of the film. Spoken Tapissary is subtitled in English. Following is the text in romanized Tapaissary. You can follow along as you watch the video.

In this episode, I’m reading the beginning paragraphs in chapter one “Down the Rabbit Hole” from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”. Five Tapissary vocabulary words are introduced (pictures, conversations, watch, end, come), and you will see how each fits into the context of a sentence in the second part of this video podcast. I made the artwork by quickly sculpting clay figurines, photographing them, then adding features such as faces, hands, and backgrounds using Photoshop. I made the music on Garageband. I also fashioned the miniature clay village at the end of the episode, which is called Ventiçello.
This week, I’ve written some phrases about the days of the week in Tapissary’s ‘Sunrise’ style. A frequently used Art text style (called the ‘Sunrise’ style) in Tapissary is generally written from right-to-left as in Hebrew or Arabic. Reading right-to-left is called the ‘sunrise’ mode because your eyes travel from the east margin of a page to the west margin. Many of the çelloglyphs in sunrise mode have elongated shapes that differ from the forms in the ‘sunset’ mode (written from left-to-right as in English). The elongated forms of the sunrise mode allow the writer to build up a design within the basic rules of layering: right-to-left, then top-to-bottom. In the following text of the film, most of the phrases are double layered. A couple examples show triple layering. The days of the week in Tapissary:Monday - MonnidiTuesday - TsëxxiWednesday - WenndiThursday - ThissxriFriday - FxemattiSaturday - SataxxiSunday - Zbaxxcéti
Episode 3: The Captain Alligator.May 16, 2009In this week’s episode, I’m bringing PART ONE of Captain Alligator’s adventures. Animation accompanies the story, and a red arrow helps you follow the Tapissary. The action begins in the village of Ventiçello which is lapped by the shores of the Baroque Ocean.
Episode 2: “How to Eat Spaghetti”In this week’s snippet, Tweeter, my finicky parrot rejects a bowl of spaghetti. But this loss of appetite does not override a colorful lesson in grammar. The command form, the numbers from 1 to 5, and some help with pronunciation are included in this segment. Duration: 12 minutes.
