Hello everyone! I am, in addition to a lover of worldbuilding, also a linguistics nerd. So when I discovered that Ben Grossblatt had created a working conlang for the Sith to speak that wasn't just a cipher of English (looking at you, Mando'a), I was immediately intrigued. Now, the Wookieepedia for Sith includes stuff from things that aren't Grossblatt's (and contradict his very nice conlang) and also I noticed there were a few phrases and compounds one could break down into known components and a words not listed in the article's table, so I decided to make a set of tables for my own purposes. I hope you find it useful.

For quick reference, the Ben Grossblatt Sith language refs are 1 5 13 21 25 28 31; other cites on Wookieepedia come from other sources. If you want extra sources, I suggest you read Ben Grossblatt's e-mails on Sith in general and the Sith code.

So, sylleblahsome was interested in what I'd managed to conlang up for my soulmates fic. Now, since as it turns out, I wrote a soulmate AU just so I could show off my conlang, I have conlang notes!

(I do have another fic idea that'd involve this language – namely, a bunch of Shen Wei's relatives waking up from meteor shelter stasis – but I have a load of other WIPs to clear out first.)

And here, have the script!

Sound to glyph correspondencies, with IPA and standard transliteratory character given.

Usage examples: Ǧieškvedn’eirfrn Kernkiešvieþvezdrkn Šeǧndieþhftervdršn Veifþrkehtkvezdrk, i.e. Shen Wei's Dixingese name in all its matronymic-listing glory. I also considered how one might transcribe "Zhao Yunlan" into such a script.

If you wish to hear the names out loud, go to this IPA reader, paste in a transcription of the names in IPA, select Tatyana [Russian], and press play. The format they accept is ʃɤɣndi͡eθħftɤrvdrʃn ʋe͡ifθrkɤħtkʋɤzdrk.

I am a conlanger. I might post some more, but for now, have a Google Drive folder full of sketchlangs, here. Feel free to throw me a sentence to translate into one of their growing number, or use one of them in a piece of fiction (with a note on where you got it). Or both.

Some random resources from my bookmarks: Tropylium's blog on reconstructing Proto-Uralic, a database of semantic shifts, gleb's RNG phonologies.
