I've had a long period of writer's block, regarding songwriting. So I decided to invent a language, with a backstory of the peoples who spoke it. It's a real challenge but exciting to see a language form right in front of you! And since I've been focusing so hard on the language, I've been writing some really fresh sounding music, and enjoying the songwriting process again. I guess I just needed to stop fussing over the music so much.

    It's still a work in progress. I've got the phonology, most of the basic stock vocabulary, a number system, a list of rules... but it's far from complete. I made some simple sentences and recorded myself saying them, and it sounds a bit like Latin with slight flourishes of English, German, Nordic languages, Greek, Russian, Celtic, Japanese... In writing, it looks sort of like a Welsh Latin. Once I build more vocab and finalise the fiddly grammatical stuff, I can share a bit and explain it.
