What is a constructed language or conlang? How might Klingon and Elvish relate to living languages of today like Japanese, Arabic, or Finnish? Is there any way to connect Dothraki or High Valerian to ancient languages like Hittite, Akkadian, or Aramaic? In the nerdiest of all my conversations thus far, Dr. Time Hogue (University of Satsuma) and I discuss how constructed languages are formed and how they relate to existing languages, philology, linguistics, and narrative story telling.
