Chakobsa, the Fremen language in Dune

The Invention of a Desert Tongue for ‘Dune’

Language constructors for the movies started with words Frank Herbert made up for his 1965 novel but went much further, creating an extensive vocabulary and specific grammar rules.

So very cool. :D

I think if I could have a dream job other than the wordsmithing I do now, it would be building constructed languages.  More than one of the times I've oopsed a book, it has been a dictionary-grammar.

I've been a Hildegard fan for years, including her music and artwork. Check out this giant blue vulva.

I keep finding more things to love about her, & eventually I feel like I've got to run out of things, but it hasn't ever happened yet!
