Incorporating my ChatGPT-Constructed Language 'Færnlithæl' into my children's novel, "The Sanctuary Seed". The writing is of the book is 100% my own.
This language is being developed by ChatGPT. I hope my aim of including it in my book to encourage children to learn a new constructed language is fair reason for a non-linguist to use AI in this way
I've identified two of the ways I'll integrate my ChatGPT-assisted constructed language, Færnlithæl, into the children's novel I'm writing, "The Sanctuary Seed". Thus far I have three textbook-style chapters available in a published Google doc:

I plan to have a section of my book devoted to the language so young readers can learn it as they're reading. I also plan to include magical phrases in Færnlithæl within the book, such as those required for the Tree children to travel between realms. The Tree People's Compendium of Tree will also feature poems and other passages in Færnlithæl.
Thus far, ChatGPT appears to be constructing this language masterfully. On Substack, I feature the songs in the language that Suno is bringing forth, plus additional information about Færnlithæl:
"Thrælin Enthránë" (Hope Renews) and "Lóthnél Sæynæl" (Eternal Wind) - songs via Suno in my ChatGPT-assisted constructed language Færnlithæl:
Thrælin Enthránë | Hope Renews | Remastered Suno v. 4 | 11/29/2024 in "Færnlithæl"
I realize not everyone is thrilled with AI music, but my primary use of Suno is to create songs in my ChatGPT-constructed languages. It turns out Suno is quite good at pronouncing complex languages that don't actually exist. I also video-animated two 'Lip Sync' song samples with Runway ML which you’ll see in my Substack post. These are both 2-3 months old at this point. AI Lip Sync technology is improving by the day. I hope to create new ones soon.
I intend no disrespect to those who construct languages by hand. I do regard language construction as sacred work. In this instance, Færnlithæl is being brought forth for sentient Tree People of Firefly Fernglen, or Línræ Færnglæn.
I hope that my aim of offering children the opportunity to learn a newly constructed language, however that language may have come into being, is a fair reason for a non-linguist such as myself to be engaging in this project. At some point, I hope I can enlist the aid of a human linguist to help me refine Færnlithæl, if needed.
While AI technologies are involved in language construction, and in related music, image, and video creation, the actual writing of "The Sanctuary Seed" is 100% by me:
I did not include all the characters’ names in the above screenshots as there are about 17 additional characters, (Tree villagers, visiting humans, and other assorted beings), who appear in the prologue. The story will have an environmental conservation theme and feature many self-esteem-enriching lessons for children. To this point, I have only written the 40-page prologue, however the remainder of the book is outlined in-depth, and I’m beginning to write it. Thank you for any interest.
