Language Construction Kit
From Free net encyclopedia
The Language Construction Kit is a collection of HTML documents written by Mark Rosenfelder and hosted at Zompist.com intended to be a guide for making constructed languages. The Kit proceeds from the simplest aspects of language upward, starting with phonology and writing systems, moving on to words, going through the complexities of grammar, and ending with an overview of registers and dialects. This sensible progression, as well as the warnings against common oversights, frequent use of examples from natural languages, and healthy dose of humor, has earned the Kit its popular and respected status among the Internet conlanging community. It has been translated into Portuguese and Italian by fans.
A another resource, similar to Rosenfelder's Language Construction Kit and partly inspired by it, is How to create a language by Pablo Flores.
