I found some helpful info yesterday that was new to me, and maybe helpful to other newbies out there. I went to our plain ol' community library and discovered that I can get a card that will get me into the library files and e-books of one of the major universities in our area. I was thrilled because they have such wonderful resources as: "Sumerian Grammar" which I need to base my language on. I also picked up a handy tape (VHS) for teaching Hebrew to your baby. Hopefully the accent is good enough to get the sound of another old language in my ears. I'm happy. Vaporwolf, I love what you've done! That's kinda what I was thinking of doing, i.e. starting with an alphabet and going from there. I have to ask...you started it in high school....so that was how many years ago (for reference) j

hmm... that would be about 17 years ago. I'm pretty sure it started in my freshman year. Right now i'm up to four alphabets. Getting a bit more wacky with each one. (One writes bottom to top, right to left in an ascending pyramid style for ten lines, then flips and writes from bottom to top, left to right in an inverse pattern. Another one writes in an expanding disc. But generally, I only worry about words and rules as the need comes up. I'm not that interested in creating a complete working language. Rather just enough of things to keep cultures flavored and interesting. I think it helps that most of my worlds never experienced a tower of Babel replica that fractured the language. They got fractured in other ways.
