Language Focus

Some worlds may have a "language focus". This is reminiscent of the great JRR Tolkien's method of basing a narrative around the languages in it. While we here aren't necessarily ambitious enough to try to invent an entire language, it can be rewarding to put a focus on alien languages throughout a world's creation. If a world has a language focus, there should be a consistency in the proper nouns created for different cultures. Basically, each fictional language should have its own sound (i.e. lots of 'x's or lots of hard, guttural sounds) so they can be told apart from each other.
