That Bit Extra - Echolian Workings and a HINT for Book Four... (Patreon)
Content
So the thing I had planned for this month’s That Bit Extra is taking a bit longer than I thought so instead I thought I’d show you a bit of Echolian workings!
The Echolian language is based on an alphabet that replaces ours as I’m not language-proficient enough to make one up from scratch, lol!
But there are rules to account for when there’s too many consonants together, etc.
When working out a word, I will translate it from the Echolian alphabet then work on forming it into a workable word which sounds correct for the flow of the language I imagine for it, which then gets transferred into the Echolian dictionary we have so it becomes set from then on. So it’s not just a case of switching the letters over, there is more involved which I do actually find really fun! :D
And a BIG sneak-peek for you to finish off - Y’uli’sed is the type of supernatural the antagonist of Book Four is! The English translation means ‘Daystars’.
