title: Languages & Worldbuilding
description: Constructed languages (conlangs) and worldbuilding projects.

# Languages and Worldbuilding
*Conlangs*, short for *constructed languages*, are artificial
languages created by individuals rather than evolving naturally over
time. They serve various purposes: international auxiliary languages
like Esperanto, philosophical experiments like Lojban, fictional
world-building like Tolkien's Elvish languages or Klingon, or simply
artistic expression.
I have been creating constructed languages and worlds, both for fun
and for literary projects. My conlanging work is documented on my
[dedicated conlanging website](https://conlang.phundrak.com/).
## Eittlandic
Eittlandic is the language of **Eittland**, a fictional Nordic
country, born from the question: *what if there was another island
like Iceland that never got Christianised?*
The language derives from Old Norse and has been evolved
naturalistically towards specific artistic goals. In Eittlandic, the
country's name is pronounced /ɑɪʔlɑ̃d/.
This project has been a personal artistic endeavour since 2018,
focusing on worldbuilding and conlanging. More details are available
on the [Eittland wiki](https://wiki.phundrak.com/s/eittland) and the
[Eittlandic language
documentation](https://conlang.phundrak.com/eittlandic).
## Proto-Ñyqy
Proto-Ñyqy is the proto-language and mother language of the Ñyqy
language family tree. The documentation is written as an in-universe
document would be, meaning all cultural and historical references are
entirely fictional. The writing style draws inspiration from academic
linguistic work, particularly Benjamin W. Fortson's *Indo-European
Language and Culture*. The [Proto-Ñyqy
documentation](https://conlang.phundrak.com/proto-nyqy) is publicly
available online.
## Zikãti
Zikãti is another conlanging project currently in development. This
one draws more from a conlanging experiment than a real worldbuilding
project. [Its documentation](https://conlang.phundrak.com/zik%C3%A3ti)
is also publicly available.
