## What are artificial languages?
Artificial languages are basically just a language individual made. The most spoken one, as you might already know, is Esperanto, which over **2 million** people speaking the language. Even duolingo started an [Esperanto course](https://www.duolingo.com/enroll/eo/en/Learn-Esperanto) for English speakers!

1. - [ ] Pronunciation
1. - [ ] Grammar
1. - [ ] Time
1. - [ ] This website :)

You only need these 5 things. ~~See, it's easy~~
In my opinion, creating grammar from scratch is hard.
### Alphabet

If you have 10 minutes, you can make an easy font by using [calligraphr](https://www.calligraphr.com/en/). 

If you really want to make a good font, [FontStruct
](https://fontstruct.com/) is there for you.
*Note:This is just a font.*
*Note 2:Google Docs Doesnt work with custom fonts as far as I know.*
### Pronunciation

Try searching some words in [Forvo](https://forvo.com/search/) or watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_SHfoUDj8A) for inspiration. Since I didn't have that much time to think about pronunciation for my language, I used this method↓

Using this, I made the pronunciation for all of my letters in less than a minute.

### Grammar
A language has "Word order." It determines how a language is written. For example, English is written in SVO, or Subject-Verb-Object. "Who is doing what" is the basic form of SVO. The most used form is SOV. Japanese and Korean are in this form.For example, "I like eating" will be "I eating likes." 

#### Examples
* SVO: English, Spanish, Portuguese
* SOV: Japanese, Korean, Turkish
* VSO: Hawaiian, Quranic Arabic, Classical Hebrew
* VOS: Fijian, Malagasy
* OSV: Xavante, Warao
* OVS: Hixkaryana
