How they work

To save a language locally, a user can download the properties of the language from the web-server. These properties are provided in a .json-file.

Structure

Content

• nameLengths: A list of size 2. First value is the minimum length a word must have, second value is the maximum length a word can have.
• specialCharacterLengths: A list of size 4. First value is the amount of characters, that a word needs to have, before a special character can appear. Second value is the minimum amount of characters, that a word needs to have, after a special character occured. Third value is the minimum amount of special characters that need to be in each word. Fourth value is the maximum amount of special characters a word can have.
• specialCharacterChance: The probability from 0.0 to 1.0, that a word has a special character.
• vocals, consonants, vocalConsonant, consonantVocals: The combinations of letters, that can be used to build a word.
• forbiddenCombinations: These combinations will never appear in a word.
• specialCharacters: A list of possible special characters, that could be added within a word.
• startingCombinations: If not empty, a random combination from this list will be used for the beginning of every word.
• endingCombinations: If not empty, a random combination from this list will be used at the end of every word.
