Lhaesine Dictionary Project

Update on Lhaesine Dictionary Project

noreply@blogger.com (Amy Mariska) — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 22:30:00 +0000

From 2005 to 2015, I worked on the Lhaesine Dictionary Project, where I invented numerous made-up words in my conlang language, Lhaesine.

Recently, I revisited my work on Lhaesine and examined it critically. As a result, I've made some changes, including significant modifications to Lhaesine pronunciation and spelling rules. I'm currently reevaluating my previously created Lhaesine words to determine if they still work and continue to resonate with me. So far, some words have been revised, although none have been completely redone, while other words remain unchanged.

I decided to call my revised version of the conlang, Lhaesin. You can see my current words in Lhaesin in my new blog -- Project Lhaesin
