For real - there's good money to be made in creating languages Lewis Carroll did it (The Jabberwok) Tolkien did it more than once ... Star Trek writers did it occasionally - look at Klingon ... the writers of Avatar in the language Na'vi .. JK Rowling's Parseltongue, Arthur Machen's Aklo (and used by other horror writers) Stephen King's mythic language in Desperation (and others), Edgar Rice Burrough's Mangani - the language of the Apes in Tarzan ...

There's good money in having a new language in your fictional works ..

Got a friend in OZ that follows all these cosplay girls on facebook so they pop up on my new feed. They're all worthy of a nudge.

I'm not so sure. There are a number of extinct or near extinct Norwegian languages and I understood he used some of those.

The number of Norwegian languages received publicity a few years back because a professor had been collecting and recording every book that he could get his hands on in the threatened languages. When he died his assistant carried on the work using his computer. Then the assistant died.

It was imperative that the university could access the PC but they didn't know the password. Their own IT people tried with no success. They hired a specialist company also without success. In desperation they put out a call on the Internet for assistance. IIRC a Swedish game developer cracked it in a bit over twenty minutes. The password was the surname of the first professor spelled backwards.

Meanwhile back on topic...
