Sean Skyhawk 12 March 8, 2012 Share March 8, 2012 Hey guys, I've been into the brony fandom since Autumn, and I must say it's quite refreshing to watch, considering all the crap that's been going on throughout the world. I thought I'd give these forums a try since it would be a great boon for creativity (but then again, how could this show not be such a thing?) But with that out of the way, let's get serious. Me and a friend are working on an as-of-yet unpublished mythology project that is meant to serve as a backstory to the entire series. It centers around the 20-ish Elements of Harmony and their role in how Equestria was made, as well as how they influence the present times. One of the aspects I've been focusing on (though admittedly tangential to the story proper) is how the Equestrian language would sound in actual recorded speech and appear on parchment; so far I think I might be having something for their alphabet, though it needs a bit of work. Now the hard part... creating the language itself. I think I might have most of the sounds (including loan-sounds that derive from English), but the next step is something totally new and frightening to me. I guess (and this is a wild guess) that if I were to listen to it for real it would have a Celtic feel to it... again this is just pure guesswork. My point? I cannot possibly do this all by myself; I'll be reporting back here with my progress every so often but if there is anyone else who might be able to lend a hoof, any help would be GREATLY appreciated and I will credit everypony involved in the Equestrian Conlang Project Hope to hear from you soon, and keep smiling! -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
