Creating a language is like learning one. The grammar comes first, for it controls not just the word order but the elements that form words. In ‘my’ language there are both prefixes and suffixes, and other such things I still have to tend to before I can actually form sentences… I’m limited to names and present time sentences at the moment… but thinking up words is not hard; they just appear in my head, and the scary thing is: they often relate to each other in form and meaning without my conscious intention… I’m going to need also an archaic form of the language, and possibly scratches and sketches of other languages too… I’m hooked to language-making!
I trust no-one is going to steal this if I give a sample:
Vadia eea Vallanais,
Valei ta mraneie.
Eleia mara Vallanais,
Varei um daleie,
Vallanais.
Dancing fair Vallanais,
Water from the mountains.
Streaming swift Vallanais,
River of the hills,
Vallanais.
I’m not sure about the meaning of ‘Vallanais’, it is a word from my dream. It has much to do with ‘Song.’
