Intro to Constructed Languages: Sound Patterns is a seven-week course that dives deep into the phonetics and phonology of language creation, offering students the tools to design the unique sounds and syllable structures of their own fictional languages. Over seven sessions, students will learn to create consonant and vowel inventories, establish phonotactic constraints, and apply phonological processes to develop realistic and natural sound systems. 

This course blends linguistic theory with hands-on application, using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and insights from real-world languages to guide students in building the foundation of their constructed languages.

Each week focuses on a key topic, starting with the basics of sound design and progressing through advanced concepts like syllable constraints and the interaction of sounds in language. 

Students will participate in interactive lectures, guided workshops, and collaborative feedback sessions to refine their work. By the end of the course, they will have a fully developed sound system and a deeper understanding of how phonetics and phonology shape languages, preparing them to continue language creation or explore linguistics further. Lessons are structured to balance creativity with analytical skills in a fun, supportive environment.
