About Turnalon [This is a language created for a yet-to-be-written fantasy novel, from the fictional planet of Astrafel, a dimensional cousin of Earth.]

For over 600 years, the Turnan people have lived in a secluded valley surrounded on all sides by dense forest and high mountains. This, combined with the society's isolationism, has created a fascinating culture quite unlike any others on the planet. Nowhere is this more apparent than within Turnalon, the language of the Turna. With roots in the Old Common Speech, now half-a-millennia removed, Turnalon is a complex language filled with the cultural markers of its speakers.
