About Banti
Cooperative a priori language, that I decided to preserve on this website.
It wasmade for developed during a playthrough on Sabrim v2 a worldbuilding/roleplay Minecraft server.
We loaded an empty language pack without any of the text and avoided any of our known languages. Slowly, concepts got attached to sounds and even slower grammar started shaping up. This language is alive in a sense of fluent speakers, word and sound evolution as well as quite extensive culture. We got songs, myths and rituals for various occasions.
To summarise, we started with "This is the last day we speak English" and ended with "That was amazing".
12/10 would recommend
Oh and dictionary should be secret, you can learn Banti only through experience :]
