Seriously, I'd very much like to know why and in what circumstances someone
paid someone you for constructing a language. Working for next Star Trek
movie or what? >>
Someone was creating a personal role playing game for himself and his
friends. I created a grammar and a method for creating more words (I only
created about 100 words), including derivational morphology, simplified
explanations on exactly how it should be used, and whatnot. You'd be
surprised how many create role playing games that they don't intend to take
to publishers and who would like languages for certain races/species but who
have no interest in actually learning anything about linguistics.
