- Explaination and disclaimer:
- This language was designed for a race of desert people who are naturally attuned to magic. Majik is the #1 thing they base their livelihoods around, so that's why there are so many words for magic, magician etc. If you'd like to use this language for a race who don't use magic, it's totally possible! But that's why I wrote this the way I did. This language was created for use in a Minecraft series, which is why there are so many references to Minecraft items etc. It is not based upon any language, any similarities with words that already exist (for example if one of the words in my language translates into a swear word in a real life language) is purely coincidental, except where obvious (e.g.: Creeper - Kirip, Magic - Majik). I tried to make this language feel natural so here and there I take hints from real life english, but nothing else. So if any of the words I've made here are real words in languages other than English, then I didn't mean for it to be so.
- Thirdly, this is quite obviously unfinished. I'm happy for people who use this to make their own words up in my style, if they can't find one that is to their liking, but please understand this: I started this project as an exercise in how language is used in real life. If I can make a word fit into a sentence where it has a loose translation for what I'm trying to say, then all the better. Example is Zazak, which means 'night' or 'shadow'. It's context-sensitive. Also, if you do make up your own words, please understand that I still own the language and as such all the words I currently have written here are my own and you may not change them.
- Finally, ignore any double of words. Even though I pick these from my head at random (and possibly because of this) I sometimes hit upon the same letter pairings because I like the way they sound.
