About Callirian
Callirian is my artlang for my conculture, inspired by Irish, Sindarin, Quenya, Persian, and Turkish. It is intended to be æsthetically pleasing phonetically and orthographically while maintaining linguistic realism. I began work on this when I only spoke English and had absolutely no understanding of the concepts of language, and now I am a university student studying linguistics and various other languages. I hope to finish this someday and make it my magnum opus.
