This project is an HTML encoded series of documents pertaining to the issues surrounding the creation of fictitious languages and how to better make them more ``natural.''
Was that abstract enough?
More concretely, I have created a few Web pages that guide a person through the process
of making their own ``natural'' language.
Besides the most basic layout of the components of
a langauge, I give tips as to how to make their language more authentic. For Brownie points
and a merit badge, I have written a Java applet that allows the user to enter the phonetic
rules of their made-up language and a word they want these rules to work on.
