# SynthLang-Web

Generates random fantasy / constructed languages

## Inspiration

SynthLang is heavily inspired by [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration/comments/49x6ry/procedural_language_generator/) by "Snarfilingus."

SynthLang doesn't do a lot of the fancy things that Language Generator does (yet?).

An excellent blog post about generating words. I wish I would have read this before starting on this project.

The inspiration for this project

## Demo

There may be a demo running [here](https://synthlang.robparrett.com).

## TODO

- Select english sample vocabulary randomly from a larger pool of words

- Some sort of UI for tweaking language parameters

- Improved (optional? parametric?) filtering of output for pronounceability

- Syllable parts should be associated with sounds and there should be tooltips explaining how to pronounce a word

- When combining syllables to make words, should we obey syllable part weights? Probably.

- Words should be particular parts of speech and we should be able to conjugate them

- Generate some prepositions and Lordly titles and such

- Languages should occasionally be strewn with apostrophes and perhaps hyphens
