I’ve been working for some time on developing the linguistics of Greyhawk’s languages. It all started with the GH Dictionary project. After I’d gathered up as many “sample terms” as I could, I wanted to do more. I wanted authors, DMs and players to have a mechanism whereby they could create words, names and phrases for these languages and keep them sounding distinct and consistent.
At the same time, I had started looking into the lore surrounding the Baklunish people, trying to gather “what we know” about this culture before the Invoked Devastation. At some point, a few months back, I noticed there were very few sample terms for Ancient Baklunish. Coupled with my “baklore” obsession, I decided Ancient Baklunish would be my first linguistic target.
I’m happy to announce that I’m 95% done with the basics one would need to create Baklunish words. I’ve still got some kinks to iron out, but I plan to start creating a sample lexicon once I finish this journal entry. Sooo exciting!
