I don`t now if you answered this question before, but I what`s your favourite fantasy book or book in general?
Christopher Paolini
The first one that comes to mind is DUNE, by Frank Herbert: In an ancient galactic empire, people warp space and time with the help of “spice.” Battles, prophecy, giant sand worms, and fearsome villains clash between its covers. It’s one of the greatest adventure/hero/coming-of-age epics, and the only book that I’ve read more than five times. You also might enjoy The Mabinogian Tetralogy, by Evangeline Walton, which is a remarkable retelling of Celtic mythology.
Here are a few other favorites that you might enjoy, too: Fablehaven series, by Brandon Mull; PODKAYNE OF MARS, by Robert Heinlein; MAGICIAN, by Raymond E. Feist; The Wizard of Earthsea trilogy, by Ursula K. Le Guin; HATCHET, by Gary Paulsen; The Magic Kingdom of Landover series, by Terry Brooks; the Dragonriders of Pern series, by Anne McCaffrey; and Jane Yolen’s Pit Dragon trilogy.

I could not fit in my last question in the previous message, which is why I am writing this. I want to ask which languages you borrow from to create the various languages of Alagäesia? I know for a fact that Tolkien took some things from Finnish for his elven language, and seeing that you must have taken some inspiration from him, I would like to study what you drew inspiration from for your language.
