Here is a simple way to start creating a language. Tell me how you pronounce that word in the title. Go ahead, give it a shot.

*waits*

Based on how fictional languages usually work, I wouldn't be surprised if you chose "ch-ah-ch" (ch as in church) when you sounded this word out. Or maybe it was supposed to be "ch-ay-ch"... Or "ch-a-ch"? Fantasy languages can be weird...Maybe the consonants are foreign too... What are the options anyway?

ch-ah-ch
ch-ay-ch
ch-a-ch

But also:

k-ah-k
k-ay-k
k-a-k
sh-ah-sh
sh-ay-sh
sh-a-sh

Or maybe they're different both times?

ch-ah-k
ch-ah-sh
k-ah-ch
k-ah-sh
sh-ah-ch
sh-ah-k
ch-ay-k
ch-ay-sh
k-ay-ch
k-ay-sh
sh-ay-ch
sh-ay-k
ch-a-k
ch-a-sh
k-a-ch
k-a-sh
sh-a-ch
sh-a-k

...Gosh, this language can be annoying...

Or incredibly useful. We have tonal languages, so why not pronounciational (yes, that's a word now because I am a fantasy writer) languages? The list above could now be a word family that is all spelled chach (perhaps with symbol differences) that could represent a number of different things with a single root word. For verbs, that could mean the following:

ch-ah-ch -to swim
ch-ah-sh - swimming
ch-ah-k - swam

sh-ay-k -his leg
sh-ay-sh -her leg
k-ay-k -his legs

This is the part where the linguistic purists stop and say, "Hey, wait a minute. Those letters make different sounds in the English language because of the different root languages to have influenced it, so it doesn't really work to have a word family like that. It makes no sense."

They're right of course, so here is how we work with that. Write down what I just paraphrased them saying on a piece of paper. Now crumple it up into as small a wad as you can. Now put it on the sidewalk and beat it flat with a sledge hammer.

*waits*

Now take a knife and cut it into the shape of a star, grab a sling shot, shoot it at the sky, and make up a good reason for it to shine there. Because you're a world building, by gum, and you wouldn't have gotten into this line of thinking if you couldn't make the illogical sound good! (but, if you're a linguistic purist, that's cool too )

Anyway...

I think this system works particularly well for a language that might not be in writing yet, or maybe they do have spelling differences but still have similar meanings. I don't know. That's up to you. I have provided the flour, you may bake the cake.

Oooh, this is interesting. I like this idea. The grammar could be really interesting... I like the idea of having the same root word with different symbols. It seems like it'd be a difficult one to learn, though. Maybe even more complex than English. It would be interesting if it was almost an art to learn a language like this because of it's complexity. Having performances in that language, stories in that language, or things like that. All a type of art to be mastered, like different types of paintings. But, the thing is, only those who know the language would then be able to enjoy those things made in that language. It could create an interesting society...

That's the idea.

Oh, it could also go into a harsh sounding chach made at the back of the throat.

You could also use it to define different types of things. Chach could be how you say people, but the kind of person might depend on the pronunciation.

Rinja, not only is this helpful, but it's hilarious. Well done. I shall keep this in mind. (Chach )

(Rin excels at making things helpful and hilarious at the same time. )

I've never thought about making homophones (that's the right word, isn't it?) in another language, but it's a really good idea. I shall have to ponder this.
