Creating Naming Languages

The podcast episode discusses the host's plans for creating naming languages for a novella set in a fantastical university. The goal is to develop enough historical background and linguistic evolution to create naming languages that can be expanded into full languages without losing continuity. The host shares the tools and techniques used, including GLaB for generating phonologies, Williams Lexifer for word generation, and JS Bang's phonics for applying sound changes. The host also mentions using contrastive hierarchies and distinctive features to inform sound changes. The Ankong family and the Ingar family are two language families being developed, with plans for more families in the future.
