30 Days of World-Building (Second Edition) - Day 9 - Language

Exercise 9 - Listen to how different syllables sound to you. Do they excite you? Do you associate a particular sound with an emotion or place or memory? Write down some generic preferences for your languages, and then go listen to what those things sound like. Write down the syllables you hear when you run a faucet or sit by a stream, for instance. Those sounds will be your "root" syllables when making up names for places and people and things.

The language that exists in this world is shared through most of the country. Those in the Cities are more educated, and therefore, use a more sophisticated form of communication. Those in the Fringe villages are not so fortunate to possess an education, and their speaking patterns and word choices are affected because of this. 

(To be honest, language is not the main focus of this story. I know my linguistics professor would yell at me for that, but I won't be worrying too much about language, lest another language come to light during this creation process.)
