Klingon to Dothraki: Invented languages gain popularity
The idea of invented languages is not new. People have been trying to create new tongues
for a long time. One of the most famous examples is Esperanto, created by Ludwik Zamenhof
in 1887 which he hoped would become __ globally spoken unifying language. The fact that it
is based on 16 very simple rules and took words from languages already present makes it very
easy to learn. This was a conscious decision by Zamenhof who hoped that if everyone spoke
one language, there would be fewer wars and conflicts.
So far, none of the existing constructed languages has achieved a large number of
speakers. Klingon, the invented language of Star Trek has around 20-30 speakers. Na’vi, the
language created for the movie “Avatar” has one fluent speaker, 10 intermediate speakers,
and over forty novices. Dothraki, which was crafted specifically for __ series Game of Thrones,
boasts seven intermediate speakers and around a hundred novices. For now, Garadálava has
exactly one speaker: Fynn Schlemminger himself.
However Esperanto is a notable exception: it’s estimated that the language has around
some 1,000 native speakers, and many parents teach it to their children. TV series, movies,
books, and especially the Internet have given invented languages a chance like never before.
According to the BBC, Esperanto, which was created almost exactly 100 years ago, is currently
experiencing a boost, mostly thanks to the language learning app Duolingo, and a highly
engaged online community. Wikipedia is also available in this language.
With the amount of time and effort it takes to learn a new language, it is rather unlikely
that __ invented tongue will achieve world domination in the same way English has. But it is
clear that there is rising interest in creating new languages. “Yes, there might be more of them
in the future, or more people will try their hand at it,” said Carpenter.
