Lakal/Saradic, a fictional language, was developed by Certic. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text. It is written with a unique script.

Uniqueness

Lakal and Saradic are possibly more dialects than separate languages. They share a flexional grammar and have similar vocabulary. PJS has put together one of the better Role-Playing Game settings in his Sarandur Campaign for RuneQuest. While he's been running it for ten years, PJS became serious about the language settings five years ago. A zipped LangMaker/Win LEX file generates Saradic, Lakal, Kirjathan or Vanarite names and derives words from old Lakari. Nothing, really, I'm sorry to say. These two closely related languages (perhaps more dialects than separate languages) are deliberately intended not to be too "weird" from the point of view of a speaker of a European language.


Language sources

None.

Design principles

Both were intended to be flexional.
