[00:00:00] Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Novoskar, Hello, There are so many languages to greet and meet
[00:00:21] people. Are you curious to know more about languages? So, today let's talk about modern-day
[00:00:29] languages or known as Artificial Languages. These are constructed languages that have been
[00:00:37] intentionally established by a person or group. Some examples include Esperanto,
[00:00:44] Klingon and Dothraki. Cornlangers are people who invent new languages.
[00:00:52] Autogesperson, a linguist, first used the term constructed language in his 1928 book
[00:00:59] An International Language. Cornlangs are also referred to as Plan Languages, Artificial Languages,
[00:01:08] Oxylary Languages and Ideal Languages. The grammar, phonology and vocabulary of a constructed
[00:01:16] or planned language may be adopted from one or more natural languages, or it could be entirely
[00:01:22] newly created. The world's largest fictional language, as stated by the Guinness book of world
[00:01:28] records 2006 is Klingon. The constructed language spoken by the Klingons in the Star Trek movies,
[00:01:36] books and television programs. Dothraki is a fictional constructed language that was developed
[00:01:43] for the television version of George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel, Game of Thrones in more recent times.
[00:01:51] All of us had a language that we spoke while growing up, right? Language serves as a tool and the
[00:01:57] process that governs our relationship with others, the outside world and even ourselves. Language
[00:02:05] is what makes us human and the epitome of all human experience since the dawn of time.
[00:02:10] Humans would be unable to communicate their feelings, thoughts, emotions, desires and beliefs
[00:02:17] without the use of language, without language, society and perhaps even religion would not exist.
[00:02:26] With the change in the languages spoken, there have been several new languages that have helped
[00:02:32] people to stay connected and communicate with each other. In modern day language, computer language
[00:02:39] has shown a new way. Have you heard about computer phraseology? The way that computers and
[00:02:46] people connect may soon transform. Through the use of programming language, computers can speak,
[00:02:54] computer language is a set of grammar, syntax and other principles that like human language
[00:03:00] enables the communication between computers and between humans and their personal computers,
[00:03:06] tablets and smartphones. The entire definition of language may need to change, as artificial
[00:03:13] intelligence develops to the point where computers can interact with one another without the
[00:03:18] involvement of humans. Do you know about LogeBahn? Those who work in computer science and related
[00:03:25] fields have likely heard about LogeBahn, a constructed language formerly known as Loglan.
[00:03:32] Additionally, most of us are familiar with built languages like Rilayan and of course,
[00:03:38] Klingen as well as Esperanto, a universal language. So the question arises,
[00:03:46] are there many artificial languages? Yes, there are.
[00:03:50] Oil Nati Kham, a common greeting in the avatar language, Navi is ICU. Yes, you got that right.
[00:03:59] This is the language used by the blue people in the movie.
[00:04:03] If you have watched Avatar, it won't come as a surprise to know that the avatar people
[00:04:08] have their invented language, replete, within-tricket grammar and syntax.
[00:04:14] Cornlangs or built languages are more common than ever these days, and more and more fans of fantasy
[00:04:20] programs like Game of Thrones and Star Trek are learning to speak them while others are developing
[00:04:26] them. There is a list of the numerous languages, readers of fantasy and science fiction prefer to
[00:04:32] enjoy. Lapine, in Watership Down, Dothraki, in a dance with dragons, Tolkien includes Dwarveshinellvish
[00:04:41] in 1984, Anglic, India Plift Universe. In what way should we talk about these languages?
[00:04:49] There are six fictional languages and 23 artificial languages. In the middle of the 19th century,
[00:04:56] JRR Tolkien, the creator of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit series, created an entire
[00:05:03] family of fantasy languages which is when fantasy cornlangs first appeared on the scene.
[00:05:10] The languages were intricate and interrelated in a way that mirrored actual languages.
[00:05:16] For instance, just as Spanish and Portuguese are distant relatives of English and even Arabic.
[00:05:23] Sindarin and Quenia, two dialects of Elvish spoken by different populations have a common ancestor
[00:05:30] with both of those languages as well as several other languages.
[00:05:35] Esperanto, the most well-known of these aim to replace English as the universal language of communication.
[00:05:42] The language of the antagonists in Jim Henson's 1982 film The Dark Crystal,
[00:05:48] Skexes was rapidly invented by British author Alan Garner. Soon after, in the return of Spock,
[00:05:56] the much-loved Klingon language made its debut in a brand new fully developed form.
[00:06:03] The internet played a role in making this partially true to allow language enthusiasts from all
[00:06:08] around the world to talk about their language creation endeavors as well as those of prominent
[00:06:14] conlangers like JRR Tolkien and Dr. Esperanto, the first official cornlangs list serve was created
[00:06:23] in 1991. Conlangs community eventually became decentralized and disposed into thousands of smaller
[00:06:31] groups all over the internet even though the original cornlangs list serve thrived for several
[00:06:38] decades, the creator of the Game of Thrones languages, Hyvilarian and Dothraki.
[00:06:44] Peterson published The Art of Language Invention in 2015, a guide to language invention that includes
[00:06:52] a great deal of closely packed linguistic information and a comprehensive history of constructed
[00:06:58] languages. It is also discovered that Hyvilarian which was formerly the tongue of a huge empire
[00:07:05] that had conquered many regions is loosely based on Latin and the Roman Empire's influence
[00:07:12] on the development of the Romance languages. Similar to how Latin gave rise to languages like Spanish,
[00:07:20] French, Romanian, Portuguese and Italian, Hyvilarian is the ancestor of the Vilarian dialects
[00:07:28] we encounter throughout the series. The act of creating a language is inevitably a cultural
[00:07:34] perception just like any other kind of art. Additionally several cornlangers have been
[00:07:41] intriguing theories regarding the potential future applications of their art.
