I found something interesting whilst browsing around online and if any of you on here
are into gaming, you have probably heard of "Skyrim" and from what I have read, the
developer team created an artificial language called the "dragon language" for this
game and I thought I would share the links that I found.

There is also a few videos on Youtube of it being sang, nonetheless it sounds very
interesting.

Sadly it's just English with constructed words, which is sadly true for the Ayleid (same
universe) language as well. More interesting is the in-game book
N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!
from Oblivion, the predecessor of Skyrim.

Is it just me or do some of those words look Polish?

That makes sense, though. If they want people to learn it they'll want to make it as close to English as possible while
still looking really weird and foreign.

Well, it's modified Esperanto.
