One of the many aspects of building is Fedran[1] are the languages everyone speaks. I didn't want a single language that everyone spoke simply because we live in a world with thousands of languages and just as many different cultures. This ties into the desert[2] being the “barbarian” world in one series but having their own rich culture in their own; part of that culture is their language.

As part of writing Sand and Blood[3] and Flight of the Scions[4], I started creating Miwāfu[5], a constructed language loosely based off a couple of my favorite languages.

In the conlang circles, there is a challenge to create a new word every day for the month of December. This is called Lexember[6] and has a lot in common with the more famous National Novel Writing Month.
