What Makes a Conlang Bad? | The Goals of Constructed Languages

video thumbnail
Perhaps the most important thing you can do when beginning a new conlang is to set a goal for it. Without one, it can become quite difficult for your language to do what you need it to. As an example, let’s check out David Peterson’s first conlang: Megdevi. It had a lot of awesome ideas, but ultimately he abandoned the project. Let’s talk about why, and how you can avoid the same fate for your conlangs. Check out Campfire, a customizable tool for writers to plan, organize, and share their writing:
