Ever wondered what it takes to build a language from scratch—whether for world peace, a sci-fi epic, or simply the love of linguistic perfection? "Conlanging: From Esperanto to Dothraki" by Alexander Piperksi takes you on a fascinating journey through the minds and stories behind humanity’s most ambitious invented languages.
This book explores a wide spectrum of constructed languages, from the logical ideal of Esperanto and the musical notes of Solresol to the cinematic worlds of Na’vi and Dothraki. It also delves into lesser-known gems like Ro, Blissymbolics, and the transcendental algebra of a constructed philosophical language. Each chapter reveals the dramatic histories—both successes and failures—of the passionate creators who dreamed them up.
Piperksi examines what these languages share with natural tongues, where they diverge, and what their futures might hold in our modern world. Whether you’re a linguistics enthusiast, a fantasy fan, or just curious about how a single person can forge a new way to speak, this book offers a compelling blend of history, science, and storytelling. Discover how languages are built, why they matter, and what they reveal about our own need to communicate—from the practical to the purely aesthetic.
