Me ranting abt silly D&D stuff (elvish language)

What the actual fuck

WOC has done a lot of shit but the most (harmless yet annoying and not know actually evil like others) agregious, in my opinion, is never publishing (and possibly never even making???) and official conlang for elvish or it’s other popular languages

How the fuck am I supposed to know if this name sounds right if the only shit about this language I can find is that the th and ph a sounds in it are aspirated and not spirant and that there’s definitely a lot of letters in it that are also in English except whoops my source isn’t using the IPA chart so I don’t know if they mean the vowels, which are the same as English vowels sound long or short or any other way and oh my god I am dying here I just wanted to know if I could cross port a name I liked from a character I made with my conlang I’m working on

If I’m wrong about this I’ll write a full apology and thank whoever gives me a link to this language because I will be so so so grateful!!! (Also bc if someone actually did this I want to learn it of course

#no one who follows my blog is here for this but my friends are asleep and I needed to get this down somewhere #sorry abt this #linguistics #D&D #ugh why why why why why why why #maybe I should just look at a conlang fans have made #I would but then what if it conflicts to much #also no one in my group will care bc the name does sound fantasy esque so whatever #but I would care #I would know #I would feel like a damn fraud #especially cuz I actually worked on my conlang #well I’m still working on it #by pure chance I think the sounds line up somewhat #but like the vowels may not align at all #and I think my sort of s sound is quite difrent #but also I don’t know bc I can’t find any damn information #rant
