German student invents own language


  1. Fynn Schlemminger _____ exactly what he wanted to do for his A-levels special project:
  2. create a language from scratch. And that’s exactly what he did. The invented language is
  3. called Garadálava, and, according to its creator, it is unique. “The premise of creating
  4. Garadálava was to make it unlike any spoken language. I came up with a phonology people
  5. usually interpret as harsh or pointed, featuring some guttural sounds and a very unmelodious
  6. tone,” he explained.
  7. All languages are, to a point, constructed because they went through corrections and
  8. reforms over time. However, there is one main difference according to a professor of linguistics
  9. at Wellesley College. Angela Carpenter, who has been teaching a course on invented languages
  10. since 2010, said the main difference is that “an invented language originates in someone's
  11. mind and is developed and expanded upon mostly by that person. A natural language ______
  12. within a speech community, usually from another language, dialect or creole, over a period of
  13. time.”
  14. When Schlemminger began working on Garadálava, he started with a sketch, an idea of
  15. how the language should sound and feel like.
  16. “You begin with the more superficial things, the shape of the language so to speak, some
  17. basic words, a sound inventory, sentence order. After that you simply go into more detail and
  18. mostly rotate between making up words and grammar rules, until you are done,” he said to
  19. Euronews. To him, the experience of creating a language was not unlike making a sculpture,
  20. creating a work of art.
  21. “Inventing a language is a very creative process that also requires knowledge of linguistic
  22. structures to make it a viable language. Having to create your own language really ______
  23. you to understand linguistic structure and the complex nature of language communication,”
  24. explained Carpenter.
