The Importance of Phenology in Fantasy Languages

I think it took Lord of the Rings to really push it over the edge. The notion of having a whole language for your science fiction series or, or, you know, movie is so much more credible and so much more widespread. I mean, it's a great time to be a conlanger. You've got lots of high profile codlings out there. And a high profile conlanger didn't even exist until about 10 years ago,. unless you count Mark Oakrin. Which he wasn't really that high profile. It was, it was the Klingon people knew him, but not many, many people else. Right.
