About Lingua — Conlang Builder
Lingua is where you make a language and then actually use it. YOUR SCRIPT Draw each letter with your finger. Lingua compiles your letters into a real font on your phone, and gives you a keyboard with your letters on the keys to type with in the app. You can also build keyboards of any existing characters (accented letters, IPA, symbols, other scripts) and use them in any app, free and as many as you like. Alphabet, abjad, syllabary, abugida or logography, written in any direction. Digits are letters too, in whatever base you choose. YOUR LANGUAGE A dictionary where every word has meanings, part of speech, examples, register and origin. Readings and IPA. A phonology page built from what you have written. A grammar of 44 chapters — cases, agreement, word order, negation, questions, derivation — whose rules really conjugate: describe a pattern once and every word in that class follows it. A calendar with your own month and weekday names, a notebook, and CSV import for a list you already have. A PLACE TO USE IT A timeline where people post lines in their own languages, in their own letters. Each post carries its letter shapes with it, so anyone can read your script without your font, and every post has a gloss so people can follow and reply even to a language nobody else speaks yet. Replies and threads, following, tags, a daily prompt everyone answers in their language, photos with your letters drawn on them, a 30-second voice clip, and a card that turns one line into a picture to share. Publish your language's page, and download the alphabet or dictionary of a language you like, to read. FREE AND PAID Free: a full a–z and 0–9 script, one language, a dictionary of 100 words, as many keyboards as you like, and the whole timeline. Plus and Pro add more letters, more words and more languages. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
