Hi all,

Got my new edition of the Speculative Grammarian in my inbox today - and what a treat!

This issue is all about fantasy languages and the cliches used in it...
(And I don't think I'm biased because I've also written for them... ;) )

Have a read - it's really funny! And something to keep in mind when creating languages.

Ps. I know one of my languages do use apostrophes, but mine really denotes a glottal stop and is not just because it looks cool ;)

Enjoy
Marsh

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king
