Quenya, Na’vi, Klingon, Dothraki – constructed languages and alphabets are often some of the most iconic aspects of works in popular culture. But what is behind their creation? When, and why should you make your own? What other aspects of language use can help strengthen your worldbuilding? In this workshop, C. S. García Martínez, medical translator, conlanger, and linguist, will walk you through the basics of language science and how they can be applied to fictional languages and alphabets.
