Bio
I’m a First Nations 17 year old young man, probably an old soul (not that there's anything wrong with that). I live in Saskatchewan, and I love reading, writing, conlanging, and collecting sarcastic T-shirts.

Vengeance
This sinister deed was done. When I left the house — hiding my assassin’s blade. I trotted lively down the cobbled street, for what had I to fear? I’m nothing but a shadow in the background of a city, an assassin who’s job was done. My confidence and posture told a story of a gentleman. Till’ at the bend of the street, I saw a dog sitting near the ditch, the dog was something I couldn’t quite understand. Its face was almost black, with brown peppered across its muzzle. It had pointed ears, and bright eyes, it was a rather handsome mutt.

The Wyvern
The summer afternoon was abound with excitement. Why can’t I be out there? Thought The Wyvern looking out the window. He was befogged from all of the fire breathing lessons. The Wyverns flew around, playing tag, and laughing. The Wyvern didn’t understood why he was stuck in class, he was a bilingual, and consanguineous with the head master. Was it because I burnt down the nest? He thought to himself. Or that I ate my sister’s toy? Or when I accidentally peed on the Moon-bow shrine? Or that I’m obdurate? Or that I’’m greater than every one else?… Probably that!…

Conlanging for beginners
So, you want to conlang? You’re going to need grit, strength, and sheer will-power! (More or less…) there are several ways to make a fictional language, and one of the most common beginner mistakes is just writing down random words and giving them random names. Because then you’re conlang won’t feel real, it will feel bland and well, really boring… sorry to be a bummer. Below are a few tips to help you write your next blockbuster Hollywood film conlang! (Or for your book, video game, tv series, YouTube, coding, military use, or even just for fun!)

How to make a Conlang
Conlang (meaning: constructed language) is an artificial language that isn’t natively spoken by people, such as Esperanto, Klingon, High Valyrian, Ithkuil, Toki Pona, Riasian, and many, many more. It is usually created for the purpose of fiction and/or coding. Some conlangs are very easy to learn (Toki Pona), whereas some are ridiculously tough to learn (Ithkuil). But you want to create your own Conlang? You’re going to have to reach down into the depths of your soul to ponder this question “who or what will speak this language?” Maybe the people who speak this language are humans, but they live on an isolated island. Or maybe they’re like goblins, with key words in your conlang like “grime”, “kill”, “dark”, “sword”, and “eat”. Your characters could be deep space aliens, with yellow skin, enlarged craniums, and enhanced eyesight. Your conlang would probably be more futuristic, with more vowels, and words meaning multiple things. Or if your aliens aren’t quite as advanced in technology, it could be similar to the way humans speak. Your imagination is the language.
