Constructed Languages

I already said that i like a lot playing video games, that's why i chose this language, because it was created for a videogame of my favorite platform: Xbox. 

Tho Fan:

Videogame: Jade Empire

Year: 2005

This is a constructed language created by Wolf Wikeley a Canadian linguist graduated in 1996 with a BA in Chinese and Japanese language and literature. He also has a MSc in 1999 in Linguistics in Discourse and Syntax and working on a PhD of sound structure of the Japanese language.

Wikeley created this language with Bioware (a Canadian company of video games) he developed the grammar and dictionaries for the game “Jade Empire”. The Tho Fan was designed to sound like an ancient and distinctly Asian. This language works without the verb “to be”, it uses the “a” and “the” to mark the tense. Tho Fan phrases don’t match with their translations, they are set of pre-rendered phrases. The game usually uses the audio track to say successive sentences.
