Have you ever needed to create a fake language? No? Me neither, but that doesn't make the Fake Language Generator from Scriboly any less fun to play with.
Apparently all kinds of science goes into making a language generator (phoneme's, digraph's), which the generator explains; however you'll find all you need is to be able to write in your own language and it will graciously 'convert' or 'translate' what you say into a new and unique language.
Take for example; if we wanted a simple rhythmic language with the sounds "doh ray mee fa so la tee" we would enter them in the Translation Phoneme box; then translate our text. As if by magic: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity." becomes "La so ray teela mee latee, la so ray meela mee latee, la so ray sotee mee lamee, la so ray sotee mee dohlasotee"
As you'll notice "la ray so" means "it was the" - the generator seem to keep track of made up words, and continues to use them as needed.
If you'd like to play around with the generator you can find it at: http://www.scriboly.com/Generators/Language. They also have a name generator for generating Divine' sounding names (Caturoix, Alcirithrai, Tezi). The sites focus seems to be on tools for writers; however I can honestly say they even if you're not a writer they are fun to play around with. Seehttp://www.scriboly.com/ for more info. Everything on their site is free and community driven.
