some classic conlanging tools
Dec. 11th, 2018 10:41 amIt's not unlikely that you've heard of Mark Rosenfelder's language construction kit. (I have the print version, currently lent out to an acquaintance, but not yet the sequels.)
The site also has some cool tools on it! These are, I suspect, especially useful if you're lazy enough that you don't want to create an actual conlang, but are unlazy enough that you want something that scans right, in terms of having a grammatical structure and set of consistent sounds and that changes over time in consistent ways, and are willing to work with somewhat clunky tools to do so. These include a vocabulary generator (help page), sound change applier (help), and then a number of generators based around creating grammatical sentences.
