You can avoid generating certain words using an AVOID rule for instance, to avoid words containing the sequence yi, use Lines starting with # are ignored this can be used to add comments or to temporarily remove lines that you don't want. Also, if a word starts or ends with a hyphen, the hyphen and the space next to the hyphen will be removed. In addition, in sentence mode only, you can include punctuation, so if there's a rule for generating noun and you type noun., it'll generate a noun and put a period after it. If you want to generate a sentence instead of generating a word, you can use SENTENCE in place of WORD this will automatically put spaces between everything. For instance, this will sometimes generate words with no consonants: You can use the predefined word part SPACE (all caps) to insert a space, or EMPTY to define a word part that can be empty.
If the number isn't specified, it's equivalent to * 1. There isn't any specific number the numbers have to add up to. * 2 is twice as common as * 1, * 3 is three times as common as * 1, etc. WORD = consonant vowel * 3 | consonant vowel consonant You can adjust the frequencies of the different options by adding an asterisk (*) and a number, like this: You can mix things that refer to other rules and letters to just insert, so for instance consonant vowel n can be used to generate a syllable that ends in the letter "n". The program determines whether a word refers to a rule or to some letters to add to the word by whether a rule actually exists if, for instance, you remove the "vowel" rule, it'll interpret "vowel" as some letters to actually put in the word, and generate words like "pvowelk" and "tvowelpkvowel". WORD = syllable | syllable syllable | syllable syllable syllable Syllable = consonant vowel | consonant vowel consonant Word parts can refer to other word parts, so you can do things like The rules don't have to be in a particular order you could put the WORD rule first if you want. When you use the parts of a word, make sure to separate the different parts with spaces (e.g., if you've defined parts C and V, then you can use them as C V, not CV), and you need to make sure to use consistent capitalization ( C and c are different). The names can be anything (e.g., you can use C and V instead, if you want), as long as they don't contain spaces or the characters =*|#. WORD = consonant vowel | consonant vowel consonantĮach rule should be on its own line (explicitly press return/enter).
Replace WORD with something else to define different parts of the word (consonants, vowels, etc.), and you can use them like this: Vertical bars separate different options (on US keyboards, a vertical bar can be typed as shift- \ on iOS, tap 123 and then #+= and it should be near the left of the middle row or you can click the | button below the text area). WORD, in all upper case, indicates that this is the rule for generating the whole word. Type rules in the box under "Language of origin".Īs a simple example, the following language generates the words cat, dog, and mouse with equal probability:

(generated words will go here) How to input languages JavaScript is required to use this program! It can also generate sentences, and it can generate words from a context-free language given its grammar (although there's a limit to how far it'll recurse). I originally made it to make words that are pronounceable and appear to come from certain natural languages (though these rules are not based on actual statistics, but rather from my impressions as someone not fluent in anything other than English), and occasionally used it for fictional character names later I realized it could be useful for conlanging and added a way to input your own language rules. This is a JavaScript program to make up words based on certain rules.
