Constructed Languages.
Conlanger Cameron Rutherford’s Honours degree thesis centered constructed languages (or conlangs) in speculative fiction. They have lead a two-part workshop for Carclew’s Worlds Within Worlds event on constructing a fictional/fantasy language. They can help you bring your fictional culture to life by developing a naturalistic language (or not so naturalistic depending on your wishes), as complex or simple as you need. All of the services below can be combined as necessary for your unique project, be it a novel, film, series, game, or otherwise.
