February
So I didn't post last month.
I am very sorry for not posting and not explaining.
We are, for now, skipping that month. I have some resources on population statistics and spread and xenobiology which I'll post later.
This month we will work on creating a conlang or constructed language.
The primary task for this month is translating a text into your language. The secondary task is EITHER labeling your map in your language or creating an alphabet (or both!).
To help get you excite for this task, I offer the below links:
The Ellian Script
This page chronicles the creation of a beautiful writing system.
On Nation Language, Gibberish, and Why Both Aren't the Same
Fantastic meta on the importance of a nation language.
Some Highlights of Na'vi
I've yet to see Cameron's Avatar, but I still found this article, which breaks down some of the Na'vi language very interesting.
Constructed Human Languages
Break-downs of some created languages. Many of these are really detailed.
I will post again later today or this week to further discuss our topic this month and explain the tasks.
I hope everyone had a wonderful new year!!
