Welcome
Welcome, web visitor, to my constructed languages page. Here you will find various constructed languages (conlangs) and the constructed worlds (con-worlds) in which they are spoken. There are also various other resources for conlangers.
Tutki
A flying saucer has landed in your backyard, and you wake up to find
yourself inside a bad B-movie where flying saucers are real, and aliens are
bumbling one-eyed green bugs speaking with a bad German accent. Welcome to the
odd world of the Hrmitt (how do you even pronounce
that?!), or more colloquially, the Tutki aliens
, a universe that refuses
to take itself seriously!
Fara
The trail to Fara, the Land of Fire, where the conlang Tatari Faran is spoken, is now open. Watch your step; lava may be flowing underneath the ground.
Ferochromon
If you are looking for that intrepid conlang called Ebisédian or the constructed world where it is spoken, enter through the Portal to the Ferochromon.

IPA Charts and Transcriptions
The X-SAMPA ASCII transcription of the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is one of the widely-used schemes on the CONLANG mailing list for describing the phonology of conlangs.
Here is a backup copy of the X-SAMPA chart.
There is also a modified version of the X-SAMPA chart, known as CXS (Conlang X-SAMPA), also widely used on the CONLANG mailing list. Among its most notable modifications is using & to represent æ instead of the awkward {.
Here is the backup copy of the CXS chart.
Henrik Theiling also has HTML versions of the IPA charts, along with some descriptions of IPA, X-SAMPA, and CXS. He also has machine-readable versions of the charts, for those programmers among you who would like to write scripts or programs to process the IPA charts in some way.
Leipzig Glossing Rules
The Leipzig Glossing Rules are a set of conventions used by linguists in giving interlinears of text from a particular language. It's a good idea to use these conventions when making interlinears of your conlangs, so that it's easier for people familiar with linguistics to read.
