<banner pending>
Tales tell of a shrouded shore
libraries of long lost lore
over stormy seas
till trails meet the trees
a strange place of myths and more
I will put more here soon, come back later.

<notice>
I need some staff who have experience with non-English languages, seeing as I don't know any, and thus cannot help create languages that are derived from non-English languages.

welcome, traveler, to this scratch shop. I am Steve_Knight, and I decided to make a shop surrounding my hobby of making up worlds.
anyways, here's the table of contents(not working because I don't know how to link to specific comments):

Main Page/staff | Products and Forms | Terms of Service and Other Resources

Staff: (due to lack of diversity among staff, we need more people)
primary manager: @Steve_Knight
main map artist: @cookieclickerer33
main language writers: you guessed it, @Steve_Knight

other employees: Cabbage_2020

non-English language inspiration availability:
Steve_Knight: elements of Sindarin (Tolkien elvish), Quenya (also Tolkien elvish), and Kuzdul (Tolkien dwarfish) from lord of the rings.
cookieclickerer33: some Spanish and Japanese.
Cabbage_2020: a decent amount of Spanish, some Hindi

Hello, I know this sounds big but I want to make a big multiverse of games connecting to each other. I want to use a language when a character in one of those games says something that you're not meant to understand right-a-way or at least to people that don't want to spend time solving the bad language. Here's the form

Username: (use whichever account you want us to send the product link to) NXeddi (aka this account)
Language Details: (how do you want it to sound when spoken, how many vowels compared to other letters, how many letters, do you want a counting system, etc.) Okay, want a separate counting system, will be similar to English but want it to be pretty weird at first with pretty weirdly spelled words like maybe “xjeoirjeios” and yes a lot of double words. have less letters then english but have very little vowels. only 2 vowels and 16 letters in total. want to have a few separate grammer rules from English. I have a idea when it's called first-double when you have double letters at the starta like nna and last-double when you have double letters at the end like ann.
Other requests: (anything else you need to say, such as what real world languages you want it to be derived from) English, keep some letters of english and change other letters.
Due Date: (when you need this item by. for languages have at least a month) afap (at fast as possible aka as fast as you'll be able to do it)
level of cooperation: (how much do you want us to include you when discussing ideas and such) I have no ideas for this so 5. basically I'll make a lot of ideas but you'll be included. Of course I may discard some of your ideas

Hey, there!

username: @Jamies_Trials
area of interest: Maps, Languages, and (when more things are added) I very well may be interested in helping out!(Like if we ever add cultures, species, or similar products)
knowledge of non-English languages: I'm really interested in Linguistics and I hope to be a polyglot at some point. I've created (or at least began creating) multiple languages on my own time, so I'm a little experienced.
availability: I at least check Scratch once a day unless I am really busy, but on average, I'd say that I'm pretty active/checking often.
cipher word of the week: Byte

If it helps any, I'm really into world-building and I've done a lot of world-building on my own terms.

Also, I forgot to mention after saying the polyglot thing, I am currently learning Spanish, German, a little Japanese, and like- the smallest bit of Korean but I'm not sure if my knowledge of Korean will be much help.

Seems interesting. I am a World-Builder myself.

I have 4 years (soon going to be 5 years) of experience.
