In the spacious and bright library, Zhang Chu is searching for linguistics-related works on the machine.

He was not Tolkien himself, and he did not have such a high level of linguistic talent and research.

In fact, it is risky to write "The Lord of the Rings" in such a short period of time, because this is not fast food literature, but a work that hides many literary and linguistic values!

It is impossible to give an ordinary person half a year, let alone write a book, and even create a completely new language.

What's more, in the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien created not just one language, but many languages.

Who made him a specialized professor of linguistics!

Although Zhang Chu can speak English and Japanese with the help of the Savior system, they are not two new languages that come out of thin air.

What he has to do now is see how a language was born!

In the world framed by The Lord of the Rings, the lingua franca of Middle-earth is the basic language of all races in Middle-earth, while Elven is the language spoken by noble elves and their friends, which is simply incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Of course, this makes the elvish language that is not used often seem wiser and more noble.

In Elvish, Quenya and Sindarin are the early and middle versions, respectively, and among these ancient races, Quenya is actually more common.

In many works, the creation of a new language is commendable, which completes the worldview.

Zhang Chu vaguely remembers that when he was on Earth, "Star Trek" had Klingon, James Cameron's movie "Avatar" had a new Na'vi language, and the "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" TV series also had a new language called Dothraki!

He thought to himself that maybe when he graduated, he would be able to take a position at various schools and talk about the teaching of Quenya, a common phrase guide for traveling to Middle-earth.

Anyway, when you are on the earth, many similar courses in Europe and the United States are popular with students even in China.

The world of Middle-earth created by several films and several movies is almost intoxicating!

"It's over copying the book well, what are you going to do with all these things!" Zhang Chu couldn't wait to slap himself twice, adding a lot of things, and this must be treated carefully.

If you want a language to be authentic, you need to create vocabulary, grammar, and even historical context for it, but more importantly, create rhyme.

When a computer program reads a piece of text, they hear words that pop up one by one, and there is no rhyme at all when a human speaks, so it is obvious that they can distinguish the difference between a mechanical sound and a human sound.

Every real language has its own unique rhythm!

To be honest, Zhang Chu's current understanding of the elven language of Quenya may not be as good as that of a hardcore book fan on the earth, and it is difficult for him to write a sentence in elven language, and he is extremely difficult to read it, and he is completely unable to speak fluently.

These are the reasons why he has to work hard.

If the person who creates a language can't use it fluently himself, can he expect anyone else?

Language is not a substance, it exists because it is used.

Whether it's to speak, write, or think.

Soon Zhang Chu set his goal on David Peterson's English book, no one would come to translate this type of article, this work of creating language is extremely very niche, it is estimated that few people have borrowed it after it was collected!

If this is not the library of Yenching University, I am afraid that Zhang Chu will have to go to the National Library or see if there are any materials in Europe and the United States.

The classification of artificial languages is mainly international auxiliary language, engineering language and artistic language.

Elf language belongs to the third category, there is no sense of mission, there is no need to study mathematics, if it is discovered by people with discerning talents, a small group of people can be successfully assembled to learn!

In David Peterson's view, the process of creating language is somewhat difficult and long, starting with making strange sounds and choosing the right one as the basis for the language.

The second is to combine the selected phonemes into simple words, and then use the words to form sentences to express the meaning.

After that, you need to improve your grammar and develop certain rules for sentence formation and speaking.

That's the end of most of the language creation here!

But if you want to set up a complete civilization system for language, it is not enough to be able to speak, you must also be able to write.

That is to add rhetoric to the standard of creating words in the end!

Cangjie character creation is a very simple template, after ancient humans gradually learned to speak and express their own meaning, they were finally recorded in the form of words.

Thankfully, Zhang Chu doesn't need to create a language in the true sense of the word!

What he needed was a complete grasp of the language that had been created.

It is obviously impossible to learn a language in the library, and to learn a language is to speak it out loud, not to be a dumb person.

Elvish was influenced by Finnish when it was designed by Tolkien, with complex affixes for a word, a high degree of precision, and sometimes even a single word to express very complex concepts.

The pronunciation is also based on the Finnish form, and individual words mostly end in vowels.

In order not to affect the rest of the people's reading, Zhang Chu borrowed the works that created a language.

As he wrinkled toward the parking lot, he struggled to learn the five vowels of Elvish language, a, e, i, o, and u

Just like learning English as a child, start with the most basic pronunciation and work your way up the ladder.

There are a lot of people walking leisurely on the road, and there are also many people who dare to walk towards the classroom with bags on their backs, most of them know Zhang Chu, but no one came to ask for autographs or group photos or secretly take pictures.

These Yenching students have a more normal attitude towards celebrities on campus.

In order to facilitate travel, Zhang Chu bought a luxury car Bentley in the name of Hanlin Culture Media yesterday, and when he needed to attend business events, the bodyguard and driver Shen Kai would drive the Bentley out to support the scene, and usually Zhang Chu drove his current car when he went to school and got out of school.

It's not that Zhang Chu can't afford a better car, but driving a sports car in the school may be too expensive, and Yanjing's road conditions can't soar.

If you don't show your money, just drive an ordinary car, there's no need to show off the market!

"It would be better if you could exchange it for an advanced mastery or expert level of Elven language in the system, but it's a pity why there is no place to exchange it. ”

Zhang Chu was a little depressed, learning a new language from scratch, and to integrate it in a few months, his pressure was even greater than that of Taishan!
