Developing diverse language families

The podcast episode discusses the process of creating diverse language families for a fictional story. The host aims to generate names for characters from a variety of languages, as well as cite ancient texts within the story. Two closely related sister languages, Ankong and Ingar, have been developed with their own unique characteristics. Each language is designed to evolve over five stages, representing 500 to 1000 years of historical change. The host emphasizes the importance of creating language families with sufficient time-depth to avoid the need for future reconstruction. Through the use of sound changes and linguistic features, the host is able to establish unique language families and provide a framework for future work.
