Fantastic read. At least for me, when watching a film or reading a book, I can always tell when the work has been put in to make a language feel alive, to give it grammar, a history etc, and when it is just a bunch of made-up nonsense.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read the piece, David. Yes, I think people can now tell – that's why in sci-fi/fantasy it's becoming more and more relevant. I'm preparing more posts on this topic; it takes a bit of time to research it – they should be up in the coming months.
Thank you, Mercedes :) Yes, definitely! I will be expanding on the topic further in the coming weeks/months – it is very interesting but complex stuff. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know and I will do my best to research them for the next article
Interesting stuff. The part I did not understand is when you talked about synthetic, agglutinative or inflectional languages. Unless I missed it, I did not see these terms defined anywhere.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, Nikos. Of course, I understand the confusion it might have caused... There are so many aspects to this that I need to do a couple more posts to cover the topic. I will explain in the future ones in more detail :)

Wow, very, very interesting. Can I use this to create at least one language for the story I am writing?

Ok. Great! Definitely I will ask you the questions I have. Even if I speak several languages, I am no linguist... 😵💫😁
