do any of my followers play around with "conlangs" (constructed languages) ? I'm starting on books 3 and 4 and one faction of uplifted Dogs are starting to play with creating their own culture...and language. Any help would be appreciated (and would be noted in the book!).

could use an existing one, have dogs "revive" it, say it sputtered out or never caught on.

existing conlang, like lojban or something toki pono is dead simple apparently but not suitable for complex talk or tech

Good thoughts, but for plot reasons it has to be entirely de novo - one faction of Dogs wants a new culture not rooted in human culture.

it's needed mostly for names you remember Max, the more war-like Dog? There has been a factional split between two tribes of Dogs, Max wants his own culture. And he'd obviously name his offspring in conlang, not English No dialogue in book will be conlang.

It'd be cool to embed into the language the dogs' unique, non-human experience. Like work the importance of scent into emotionally expressive language. Or even have language constructs that reflect a pack hierarchy?
