## Custom languages
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).
If you want to remember the language definitions, you could put them all
in a module along with the `add_language` call as a quick way to
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 and can help change the "feel" for
the language you are creating. You can also add your own
words compared to the original. You can also add your own
dictionary and "fix" random words for a list of input words.
