How ‘Andor’ Created an Entirely New Language from Scratch (www.esquire.com)

Across the soundscape of Star Wars, the mosaic of alien languages is as important as John Williams's brass horns. But the Ghorman tongue heard throughout Andor season 2 is unusual, even in a galaxy far, far away. Unlike Jabba's gooey Huttese or R2-D2's whistling bleeps, Ghorman, spoken by the proud Ghor, is one of the most fleshed-out constructed languages (commonly referred to as conlangs) in all of Star Wars. For that, you can say, "Indebe"—that's Ghorman for "thank you," people—to dialect coach and conlang creator Marina Tyndall.

The space French was one of my favorite details. Felt really convincing.

Fluff piece, but yeah, conlangs in sci fi and fantasy are fun. Tolkien's elvish being the granddaddy of them all, but special shout to Kilingon ;)

J'ai du mal à trouver ça intéressant, d'autant que Tolkien aussi le faisait

Faut pas s'arrêter au titre, c'est très intéressant car ils expliquent leur inspiration notamment les phonèmes francophones pour le langage dans la série

Mon dieu s'il te plaît arrête d'éditer ton commentaire quand tu reçois une réponse haha, les conlangs c'est toujours intéressant, peu importe qui en est le précurseur (ce que Tolkien n'est pas)
