The Art of Language Invention: From Horse-Lords to Dark Elves, the Words Behind World-Building by David J. Peterson

4.0

The Art of Language Invention by David Peterson--Language invention is wild. This book dives extremely deep into constructed languages. I've never thought so much about glottal sounds and the alveolar sounds that make up the ways we communicate. The material is thorough, and if you want a primer on everything to consider in making your own language, this is the book for you. Thumbs up.
