foreword

Homestuck is a comic that has been very formative to how i write, so my best way of giving back is making my own interpretation of the Alternian Language. Now, this language comes with a lot of changes that will make it possibly unfamiliar to those who are familiar with it being treated as "English, but different". Some main changes are a complete reworking of the script,an entire dictionary, change in sentence structure, and more tenses and honorifics than you can ever actually want. Part of my methodology is the belief that Alternian, as a language, is meant to be unapproachable to the average person. I believe the troll society is meant to be overcomplicated and uncomfotable. It's meant to make your head hurt, and I wanted to repreent this with some of my favorite elements: tenses, grammar problems, abjads, and horrific phonetics. Enjoy!
