Language

So I've worked a few hours on a language for my book.  I doubt it will make an appearance and if it does, it won't be anything anyone will have to read.  It'll just 'be there', but I wanted to talk about it nonetheless.

So I'm working on rules, I wanted to remove a few letters and replace them with new(th, double o's new letter, so on), annnnd I wanted to change some way they look here and there.




So as you can all see, it's just random shapes, but I made many before these, these are the most graceful scribbles I created.  Remember, it is the language of a technologically-handicapped medieval world, so it is going to look a little weird. (Top are capital letters, middle is lower case letters)

The bottom line of the image reads, "I created my own language!?", and if I were to apply my language rules I have so far it would be constructed differently(right now it follows english grammer in the picture).

The reformed sentence would be:

"Language, created, my own."

Nouns being announced or addressed go first carried by an action toward them.  So if I were to say I wanted some pie, I would say, "Pie, I like it, more?" but it isn't spoken as such within the world.  It's just the written language system.  So asking for pie wouldn't matter unless I'm sending a letter for a shipment of it, and you know, I would totally do that.


So that's my language so far!  I plan to make an extremely detailed world, even if it's not included in the book. I want to share my ideas of that world and maybe a couple other people will like to see it, if not, more for me to read again!
