Many ingenious people have created software tools for conlanging. In addition to this, a number of programs not originally intended for conlanging can be put to great use when creating languages. This article aims to become a comprehensive list of useful conlanging software available on the internet.
General guides to conlanging
- Language Construction Kit by Zompist (Mark Rosenfelder)
- How to Create a Language by Pablo David Flores
- Conlang - textbook on Wikimedia Laboratories (incomplete)
All-purpose software
- SIL FieldWorks - a software suite for professional linguists
- Conlang Dictionary by faiuwle (usable, but many features are still to come)
- Computerized Conlang Creator Project by (mainly) Praesidium and Jotomicron (probably a dead project?)
Word generators
- awkwords by Imploder
- WordBuilder by Alfar
- Gleb (random phonology generator) by Alex Fink
- A method of generating "flavoured" words (not really a generator, but interesting nevertheless)
Sound change appliers
- ASCA by TheGoatMan
- Versatile Sound Change Applier (VSCA) by MUBA
- Geoff's SCA by bricka (Geoff Eddy)
- IPA Zounds
- Reversible Sound Change Applier (RSCA)
- Sounds - Zompist's SCA
Vocabulary managers
Syntax tools
Translation exercises
- Arthaey Angosii's collection of translation exercises
- Graded Sentences for Analysis
- Sentences to Test Conlang Syntax (a selected subset of the above)
Free Unicode fonts
- SIL Font page. Recommended: Gentium, Charis SIL, Doulos SIL
Keyboard Layout editors
- Tavultesoft Keyman for Windows
- Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC)
- Ukelele for Mac OS X
Font editors
- FontForge (works well together with Inkscape)
- High Logic's FontCreator (30 days' evaluation, unless you afford those 80 USAnian bucks)
Other
- CXS/XSAMPA <-> IPA converter by Henrik Theiling
- Conlang Mailing List archive
- Conlang Atlas of Language Structures
- The Conlanger's Library Web Resources Page
- Language Construction Society
