If you out it behind a pay wall that's a little more than a dollar would you release the dictionary and glossary

When we eventually release my accumulated documentation on the language, I'd expect it to be free, but it's not happening for now. Someone has a wiki with a lot of deductions that I can neither confirm nor deny.

That's a super cool project. Hope it's as fun as I imagine it is!

It's my favorite part of my job!

Is it an actual language with its own grammar structure and words? Or is it just symbol-swapped English?

It's a fully realized conlang with its own grammar and lexicon.

It wasn’t the same guy that made Dothraki and Na’vi was it?

I don't believe it was, but I'm not positive.

Wow, you must be rather cunning to maintain such a thing, right?

I’ll take jokes I’ve heard since 1999 for $1000 Alex :)

Hello WoTC person. I would absolutely love a phyrexian translation guide. It's one of the few things I've always had on my 'WoTC pls' list outside of actual cards. I think it's super pretty and would make for some amazing caligraphy art. I've thought about getting something tattoo'd in phyrexian but have been reluctant because I don't want anything to be wrong.

Today is not the day for that, but I hear you.

I wonder if they actually hired a real linguist to make a conlang or if it's just a glossary and a font

We hired a real linguist to make a conlang.

Now I, a second real linguist, keep it goin'.
