What is Lhaesine?
Lhaesine is an artificial language, a constructed language, a conlang, in other words, a made-up language.

Creating a Lhaesine dictionary is a personal project.  I'm inventing words in this language one by one.  My goal is to create a lexicon of words not patterned upon any particular language for a fantasy world.  Lhaesine words should look foreign, but hopefully not unpronounceable.

More about this fictional language
Lhaesine uses all the letters in the Roman alphabet except for the letters K and Q.  No accent mark are diacritic marks are used.  Pronunciation of Lhaesine words follows the spelling; Lhaesine has phonetic spelling rules.
