【Chat】Have you ever think about making a new language?

[阦燚*SOC 10]

of course everyone did have the thought about creating a new language.

but the part of it is there's already toooooo many language on this earth, which I think needs to be orginized in to two or three main language

(personally I like chinese, french and greek. even greek is hard to learn but it's one of the oldest language which is still alive. not like Latin... eh?)

Ancient Greek lives on through Modern Greek,

just like Latin lives on through Italian, English, etc.

Language isn't just a means of communication,

a language also tells you about its culture and history,

and how cultures are connected to each other.

To create a language just for individual is not very difficult ,whereas the hard is how to made it

more popular in common use

[coolshirl 10]

yes, I have.

Actually, I did "create" some kind of code that my friend and I often communicate with.

Using a language that others don't know is a lot of fun LOL

[alberttung 10]

One of the newest language made by one single person is called

Toki Pona

It was designed by a Canadian translator Sonja Elen Kisa.

Most of the words come from well-spoken languages such as English,

but it has its own grammer and pronunciation(?).

Language is a tool for people to communicate

but if the "language " is only known by youself

how can it be a language.

[S.Y.M 10]

I have imagine some character,but I haven't think of create a new language.

Learning a new language is not easy for me,so I think that inventing another language is even harder than learning it.

Your ideas are really surprising to me.

I tried to learn Klingon and Vulcan once, but gave up due to lack of persistence.

Ancient Greek lives on through Modern Greek,

just like Latin lives on through Italian, English, etc.

English is not a Romance language, it's a Germanic language.

[ひかる 10]

Yes,I have....

But making a new language is difficult,isn't it?

By the way,if I make a new language successfully,who can I communicate with in the new language I make?

[Ice Cream Cat 10]

I admit that you have a great idea, but in my own opinion I believe we dont need to create any new languages, since Chinese is the one of the hardest languages to learn, write, read, and speak. Additionally one third of the whole population of the world are using Chinese as their first languages nowaday, so for us who have been using Chinese for more than 15 years, there's no need to creat another languages. Moreover, 10 years or even 20 years later, people all over the world may have to start learning Chinese, just like Asians are all learning English now. Think of that both Chinese and English are just sufficient and useful enough for most of the people in the world, you dont even need other languages like Spanish, Koreans, Africans or whatever to communicate with people, if you are not major in internationally business or trading. Hahahaha and indeed there's a new language, which is been called 火星文 currently.

All in all, creating a new language is not just an easy matter, you have to care about all the pronounciations, characters, and utilities. Once the language you have created has not been universally accepted, then it will be entirely uselss, such as "the dead language--- Latin", well it's actually very useful, without real existence or ordinary acceptance, it still serves as a crucial foundation of other langauges. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Still I appreciate your ideas, just make one and I will probably be the first one to use it, lol

[姓韓者 11]

I think a pidgin is the best solution......xd

if creat some specific sounds which can be understood only by you, then it's not a language; because it is not common at all.

[code789 10]

just read the book eragon there's a bunch of pages at the back that not many people can write or speak

[Janet Sung 10]

i tried to create my own characters when i was in kindergarton (consider that my mom forced me to write the super complicated charactors of my name)

my friends sometimes add a certain alphabet after every word when they talked about some secrets or rumors, ex: doa youa knowa XXXa wasa dumpeda bya XXXa yesterdaya? = do you know XXX was dumped by XXX yesterday? pretty funny but also pretty easy to solve it
