ArtificialArtists

Artists using their own created language in Titles or Lyrics

The following is a partial list of InternationalArtists whose titles are written in a constructed language not avalaible in the list.

Editing such releases is certainly tricky, and your best choice is to stick with the cover art. Script may as well be a problem: unless the artist uses a known script, you should probably transliterate the titles into Latin.

Releases should use the language "Artificial (Other)".

• Magma uses language Kobaïan, borrowing french with a lot of strange accents.

  • Note that there's a whole genre inspired by that band who perform in that language. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeuhl

• Nosfell uses language Klokobetz, possibly with a very strange script

Discussion

Note the use of the wiki name ArtificialArtists is possibly not a good idea... as it suggests something else -- dmppanda 2006-11-19 23:28:46

• I think maybe ArtificialLanguage is better (also observe wiki-always-singular-not-plural) - mo 2007-05-17 22:09:26

  • Errrr, yeah cat, but... look at the pages under InternationalArtists - this is just the way they are named: Artist*s* (not "Language", not "Artist") :P And I'm not going to rename them all -- dmppanda 2007-05-17 22:23:55

    Mmmmm... Not a bad idea after all. I need to think about all this. -- dmppanda 2007-05-17 22:27:09

    • How about ArtificialLanguageArtists? It would keep the "Artists" from the "proper" language artists, while also saying that it is not the artist that is artificial! -- FrederikSOlesen 2007-05-18 17:48:02

      • I like it. Now, shouldn't it be ArtificialLanguagesArtists? There is hardly just *one* artificial language which all these artists are using. -- dmppanda 2007-05-18 17:57:31
