1. Create your own language, starting with the inventory of contrastive
Purpose:The assignment is to create your own language, starting with the inventory of
contrastive sounds (phonemes),and some information on how sounds combine to form
syllables.This document should be read alongside:• the Project Template (which you can
rename and save and then use to build your answers). This is whatyou will upload to
Canvas for the assignment.• the Project Sample, which shows you what a final project might
look like. The samples, though, are of areal language the professor is researching. Your
sample will be of your own invented (constructed) made-up language, which should not
look like English, or any other language you know.Prerequisites:In order to type phonetic
symbols (not found in the usual ASCII range), you need three things:1. A phonetics font
containing all IPA symbols. There are many free resources. The standard font isDoulosSIL,
available from the link on Canvas and at https://software.sil.org/doulos/. Be sure it
getsinstalled into the appropriate part of your Control Panel or System Library. It is
necessary to quit Wordand restart the program after installing new fonts.2. A virtual
phonetics keyboard will allow you to press combinations of strokes on your
physicalkeyboard to get an appropriate phonetic symbol. You can then switch back to the
standard Americankeyboard on a pulldown menu or creating a keyboard shortcut.For Mac
users, please see resources on Canvas (Files > Phonetics > Phonetic Resources for Mac)For
Windows, try this “Unicode Phonetic Keyboard and SIL Fonts” virtual keyboard and
fontpackage, and map, separately
at:https://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/resource/phonetics.phpFor Mac, Windows, and others,
SIL’s Keyman and phonetic keyboards (try the top two options)may be found here, also with
extensive help and documentation online:https://keyman.com/keyboards/h/ipa/3. A map
of your virtual phonetic keyboard so that you can understand what strokes are necessary
toinput the appropriate symbol. For example, on my IPA keyboard, shift+s (at same time)
gives ʃ, shift+d gives ð, shift+option+d gives ɖ, etc.An easy way (for now) is to insert
phonetic symbols is to use the following website to click and paste into yourword
processing document: https://www.internationalphoneticalphabet.org/html-ipa-keyboard-
v1/keyboard/Later, however, with more typing, you will want to use a virtual keyboard, not
the above web utility.Directions:3. Rename that

https://software.sil.org/doulos/download/ For Macs, you can click on the font and use Font
Book to install. For Windows, use the Control Panel.7. You would be best served especially
in future projects if you download a phonetics (virtual) keyboard, which allows entry of
phonetic symbols, e.g. S = ʃ, D = ð, etc. Some keyboards include:https://keyman.com/ipa/
