How to Make a Conlang - Episode 1: Phonology

This video begins our series on how to make your own constructed language! This episode looks at phonology - sounds and sound systems. What are sounds? How are they produced? What types are there? Which do you add to your conlang and how?

This is episode one of the series, but I highly recommend you watch the introduction video - a kind of "episode zero" if you will. You can find the full series here:    • How to Make a Conlang
