To set up new languages, import and use the `add_language()` ## Custom languages
helper method in this module. This allows you to customize the
"feel" of the semi-random language you are creating. Especially
the `word_length_variance` helps vary the length of translated
words compared to the original and can help change the "feel" for
the language you are creating. You can also add your own
dictionary and "fix" random words for a list of input words.
Below is an example of "elvish", using "rounder" vowels and sounds: To set up new languages, you need to run `add_language()`
helper function in this module. The arguments of this function (see below)
are used to store the new language in the database (in the LanguageHandler,
which is a type of Script).
```python If you want to remember the language definitions, you could put them all
# vowel/consonant grammar possibilities in a module along with the `add_language` call as a quick way to
grammar = ("v vv vvc vcc vvcc cvvc vccv vvccv vcvccv vcvcvcc vvccvvcc " rebuild the language on a db reset:
```python
# a stand-alone module somewhere under mygame. Just import this
# once to automatically add the language!
from evennia.contrib.rpg.rpsystem import rplanguage
grammar = (...)
vowels = "eaouy"
# etc
rplanguage.add_language(grammar=grammar, vowels=vowels, ...)
```
The variables of `add_language` allows you to customize the "feel" of
the semi-random language you are creating. Especially
the `word_length_variance` helps vary the length of translated
words compared to the original. You can also add your own
dictionary and "fix" random words for a list of input words.
## Example

"vcvvccvvc cvcvvcvvcc vcvcvvccvcvv") "vcvvccvvc cvcvvcvvcc vcvcvvccvcvv")
# all not in this group is considered a consonant # all not in this group is considered a consonant
vowels = "eaoiuy" vowels = "eaoiuy"
# you need a representative of all of the minimal grammars here, so if a # you need a representative of all of the minimal grammars here, so if a
# grammar v exists, there must be atleast one phoneme available with only # grammar v exists, there must be atleast one phoneme available with only
