I'm looking for advice and suggestions about the one and only language I have ever developed, or desired to use. I only created this one as a plot device, and the glossary is one double spaced page. So, no fully developed language here.
Basically, the MC, Morgon, cannot learn the Wizardic tongue. Despite being half wizard, and hearing it for most of his childhood, he was unable to either speak or read it, and gained only limited understanding.
There is one phrase used exclusively, repeated by about four different characters, finally translated and expounded upon that makes up the whole of this language:
Morgul Muon Souron. (I come from Souron)
The rest is:
Quote:
“Souron Terias.” He said, then added, “Agor!” he leaned forward and said darkly, “Souron Tarias arij, aMorgon.”
If I remember correctly it means, "Souran is dead. Forever!"
The last sentence means something along the lines of Morgon has taken Souron's place, but my glossary seems to have walked off and left me.
So, does it come into play enough in the story to warrant being paid attention to? Or is half a dozen words enough, considering the MC can't speak it? What would you language experts advise? For some reason this keeps haunting me, asking me to pay attention to it.
