- Do you like writing music? Do you like making conlangs? In this vid I walk through my process of writing lyrics in my conlangs, with 7 tips I've picked up along the way.✨
Conlangs are constructed, fictional languages often with a whole world of culture behind them, but how often do you really get to show off your work? Music can be a great way to do that! Writing lyrics for conlangs is a slightly different challenge than writing lyrics in your native language, and with how little of it I've seen out there, I figured I'd share my own methods and maybe inspire some more people to get out there and make some unique music!

I should make a memerap using a conlang I make up where where every word is just the most utterly reprehensible piece of profanity
This is a most assuredly a thing that is possible lol
Idk why youtube decided to show me this but that's actually really interesting, I never even considered the idea of music written in fictional languages, it's also a greatly informative and to the point video, lots of respect for you, might listen to some of your stuff later. Cute owl!
Thanks so much! I should note not all my music is in a fictional language ; I only have a couple that I've actually released publicly, which are linked in the end card if you ever feel like checking them out. ❤
i didnt know it was called conlang ?! and that you can USE IT IN MUSIC ?? i think youve just introduced me to my new 2 hyperfixations
Ye! Conlang is an abbreviation for constructed languages. Alternatively you will see "clong" >v
@@getoutofZEWEI i looked into this and MAN is it awesome !! thanks for this video hahaha ^^
Of course!! Have fun hehe. Lmk if you have any questions!
@@abandoned__ so how's it going lol
@@cifge_404 its.. going ! its hard, as expected, but im finally getting somewhere !! i still dont fully understand what anything means but slowly... i will get there.. soon, i too will make music using my conlang !!
wow, thought I was the only one with a problem this niche to find a video on it. good advice!!
Thank you! Yeah I'm glad to hear, I was wondering if this would be too niche to find anyone else hehe
Tip 1: Start with melodies and rythms!
Me, who does the opposite: hehehe
To be fair, that's how my creative process works when making songs in english. I'll probably do it differently in the future when my conlangs get more complex. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol yeah and that's totally valid! This vid is just the workflow I go through, generally. There's definitely times where I do the opposite too! Just depends on what the project calls for. UvU
making music with conlangs is such a cool idea man!!
It is!! I feel like it's unfortunately rather rare to find >v
The Ar Tonelico games have done exactly that.
Looking forward to the inevitable xenharmonic Ithkuil rap society needs rn
SO TRUEEE 👀
ive been struck with the urge to write a choir song(maybe even a couple) with a conlang, so this video is perfect in the conlang regard
Good luck and hope it goes well! ❤
Dude. This is crazy awesome.
Haven't ever gotten too far in making a language, but once I get one to a place where it's complete enough to write some stuff _in_ the conlang for the culture, I really wanna do that! including music! Twas encouraging to see this as I'm not that great at writing songs in English lol
For sure, thanks so much!
I love Utau, I love conlang and I never think about mixing my two hobbies! Thank you!!!
Of course! Mixing utau and conlangs sounds like a fun challenge hehe
literally the exact video I wanted. I was looking for it yesterday but couldn't find anything
Lol wow glad to hear!! ❤️
Ar Tonelico is the ideal example to draw from.
I'll have to look into it! Nier has a couple conlang songs too.
YEAAAH!! extremely niche but this is the exact niche I've been looking for >:3
Hell yeah! 🦉🤙✨
now this is the neiche ass shit i love to see
FUCK YEAAAA KEEP UP THE WORK RAAAAAHHH
THANKS I WILL
why is the "many many many things" part so true aaaa
right? lol
also..
*clears throat*
... what if the conlang is TONAL?
This is actually a fascinating phenomenon that is studied with real life tonal languages! Some languages like Mandarin, which can often tell the meaning of a word from context if tones are butchered, usually ignore tones when singing, while others like Cantonese have very rigid structures in which the lyrics must adapt to tones to feel natural. And, obviously, everything in between.
Absolutely what quel said! That's a great point and something I neglected to mention in this vid. There's plenty of ways you can solve this problem!
I'll add on, consider whether you have tone contours (irl example: Mandarin) compared to a non-contoured tone system (irl example: Yorùbá) ; that may better inform how best to deal with tones, if you even do at all!
One of my tonal conlangs Lhálhan (which I regretfully don't use super often) (and also is NOT Láadan but the names are similar lol) uses a system of contours baked into their melody structure. As a result, it means the music of their culture has a very particular style that arose naturally ; something I can explore in another video for sure!
... I'm sorry, was there information in this video? I was lost in the thought of "cute bird" the whole time and wasn't paying attention.
Jokes aside thanks for the video. It's an interesting topic and you covered things well.
>v< Thank you hehehe 🦉🤙✨
@@getoutofZEWEI Welcome! Your voice is a perfect match for the avatar and the movements are all just so perfect as well. Not too little to be not worth it and not too much to seem over done.
Aw thanks so much! ❤️ That's really sweet u///u
this is really cool, will definitely be sharing this with folks
Thanks so much! I figure it's rather niche but maybe can get some people inspired to create more ❤
Love your music, keep going 👍
Thanks so much!! ❤️

What app do you use to make music?
Cubase is my workspace of choice! Not a super common one to find out in the wild but I enjoy it
Cynthia is the worst vocaloid ever conceived of /s
