Tolkien, Sibelius and the Kalevala

“A conlang which assumes that Ural-Altaic was a real thing.”
Yeah, even though I don’t baldly assert that in real linguistics, I guess that is a premise that my conlang wanted to be built upon.

“I have no objection”
I didn’t think you would, once we’d had it out over defining the boundary between linguistic science and linguistic science fiction. :slight_smile:

Thanks! That was a fun read. Though it quickly digressed far afield from the opening topic.

Well, this is the Straight Dope, after all…

Hey, Elendil’s Heir, if you happen to listen to any of the other Sibelius works that we’ve talked about, assuming you weren’t previously acquainted with them, I’d be interested in hearing what you thought.
