.. try this.

It's a little script I just made. It's silly, but I like randomized silly things. Perhaps useful if you need an alien planet or ship or somesuch [Smile]

That's an interesting idea in theory... but most of the combinations that script pulled up were literally unpronounceable. I suppose that's not necessarily a bad thing, but totally random combinations of letters doesn't always work.

Still, it's a cool idea! I just may use it on occasion. [Wink]

Maybe it would be possible to use different sets of rules. For instance, many "g(+h)" or "k(+h)" combinations and apostrophes for a Klingonizer. "P'" or "T'" for a Vulcanizer.

Explain how "Abjine" or "Ypeppon" can be pronounced in one syllable.

Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :

I don't know. They're not really syllables, just short bits of a few consonants and vowels. It's not like it's anything scientific or even well thought out. The code is pretty dumb.

It basically makes 'syllables' by sticking together 1,2,3 or 4 letters, of which at least 1 and at most 3 have to be vowels. Then it randomly puts ' and - between them.

But you were right on the length of those. Fixed it now.
