Issues with the Language of Immortals of Avium

The podcast episode delves into the problems with the language used in the game Immortals of Avium. It highlights that the language, called Racharnian, was created by a conlanger named David Enoch Wiley, and there are various issues with his work. Firstly, the podcast criticizes the significant usage of AI-generated content in the language, including errors and nonsensical translations. Secondly, it points out that many of the languages featured in Wiley's portfolio are copied and pasted directly from a program called Vulgarlang. This raises concerns that Wiley may have passed off Vulgarlang languages as his own work. Thirdly, the podcast discusses documented issues with the world building of the language. It notes the presence of English words and real-world connections in the dictionary, which seemingly contradict the game's lore. Additionally, the podcast explores problems with the language's writing system, as it is named the alaf bet, resembling the Hebrew alphabet, despite having no apparent connection to the real world. Overall, the episode concludes that Wiley's work on the Racharnian language falls short of professional standards, lacking proper documentation, and displaying inconsistencies within the world of Immortals of Avium.
