An insider's tour through the construction of invented languages from the bestselling author and creator of languages for the HBO series Game of Thrones and the Syfy series Defiance

From master language creator David J. Peterson comes a creative guide to language construction for sci-fi and fantasy fans, writers, game creators, and language lovers. Peterson offers a captivating overview of language creation, covering its history from Tolkien's creations and Klingon to today's thriving global community of conlangers. He provides the essential tools necessary for inventing and evolving new languages, using examples from a variety of languages including his own creations, punctuated with references to everything from Star Wars to Michael Jackson. Along the way, behind-the-scenes stories lift the curtain on how he built languages like Dothraki for HBO's Game of Thrones and Shiv isith for Marvel's Thor: The Dark World, and an included phrasebook will start fans speaking Peterson's constructed languages. The Art of Language Invention is an inside look at a fascinating culture and an engaging entry into a flourishing art form--and it might be the most fun you'll ever have with linguistics.

All you need in retirement
Color: Gray, Size: 256 GB, Style: Tab A11+
Great purchase in comparison with Fire and the Tab S. Does everything I need it to do: read books, email, pay bills, chat, etc. The price was right and it's a good solid tablet without too much complications. I have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone so both are complementary to each other. One comment, Samsung does not provide an actual plug, just the cable...not the best customer service act for sure but seems like all of them are doing it now. Otherwise, I'm pleased with it.

Wonderful Tablet
Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+
I use a tablet mainly for browsing the web, watching media and reading. I didn't want to spend $350 for a new iPad so started looking at budget Android tablets. After reading and watching reviews I settled on the Galaxy Tab A11+ and I'm glad I did. It performs great even for games like Call o Duty Mobile and is snappy for web browsing and watching videos. The screen is a lower resolution than my old iPad but I really don't notice a huge difference. Overall a great tablet for a good price.

Crisp, bright, natural colors. Excellent monitor for the cost.
Size: 24 inch 100Hz
Excellent monitor. Haven't tried the internal speakers since I use amplified speakers and most often a headset through them. So probably an option I may never use anyway, but may test them out just to see how good they are...or how bad.😂 Color is crisp and clear and gave me the screen resolution I needed 1920x1080. Text is clear and legible, graphics are as good as your graphics card will allow, so if you're not using a high end graphics card don't expect this monitor to improve motherboard built-in graphics or older low end graphic cards, that's not the monitors fault, it's your MB or GC that's the problem. Overall I'm very happy with this monitor and been well worth the price I paid for. Yes, I'd recommend this monitor.

Great Monitor Great Price.
Size: 24 inch 100Hz
Great Monitor for the price. It has a vibrate color and very easy to set up. This replaced my old worn out Monitor. The only downside is you have to look hard in the user manual to find it in English. it's in several several languages. over all you cain't beat it for the price.
