squidpony.FakeLanguageGen

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public class FakeLanguageGen
extends Object
implements Serializable

A text generator for producing sentences and/or words in nonsense languages that fit a theme. This does not use an existing word list as a basis for its output, so it may or may not produce existing words occasionally, but you can safely assume it won't generate a meaningful sentence except in the absolute unlikeliest of cases.
This supports a lot of language styles in predefined constants. There's a registry of these constants in registered and their names in registeredNames, plus the languages that would make sense for real-world cultures to use (and all use the Latin alphabet, so they can be swapped around) are in romanizedHumanLanguages. You can make a new language with a constructor, but it's pretty time-consuming; the recommended ways are generating a random language with randomLanguage(long) (when you don't care too much about exactly how it should sound), or blending two or more languages with mixAll(Object...) or mix(double, FakeLanguageGen, double, Object...) (when you have a sound in mind that isn't quite met by an existing language).

  public static final FakeLanguageGen ENGLISH
  
  Imitation English; may seem closer to Dutch in some generated text, and is not exactly the best imitation. Should seem pretty fake to many readers; does not filter out dictionary words but does perform basic vulgarity filtering. If you want to avoid generating other words, you can subclass FakeLanguageGen and modify word() .

- SWAHILI
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen SWAHILI
  
  Swahili is one of the more commonly-spoken languages in sub-Saharan Africa, and serves mainly as a shared language that is often learned after becoming fluent in one of many other (vaguely-similar) languages of the area. An example sentence in Swahili, that this might try to imitate aesthetically, is "Mtoto mdogo amekisoma," meaning "The small child reads it" (where it is a book). A notable language feature used here is the redoubling of words, which is used in Swahili to emphasize or alter the meaning of the doubled word; here, it always repeats exactly and can't make minor changes like a real language might. This generates things like "gata-gata", "hapi-hapi", and "mimamzu-mimamzu", always separating with a hyphen here.
  As an aside, please try to avoid the ugly stereotypes that fantasy media often assigns to speakers of African-like languages when using this or any of the generators. Many fantasy tropes come from older literature written with major cultural biases, and real-world cultural elements can be much more interesting to players than yet another depiction of a "jungle savage" with stereotypical traits. Consider drawing from existing lists of real-world technological discoveries, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_science_and_technology_in_Africa , for inspiration when world-building; though some groups may not have developed agriculture by early medieval times, their neighbors may be working iron and studying astronomy just a short distance away.

- SOMALI
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen SOMALI
  
  Imitation Somali, using the Latin alphabet. Due to uncommon word structure, unusual allowed combinations of letters, and no common word roots with most familiar languages, this may seem like an unidentifiable or "alien" language to most readers. However, it's based on the Latin writing system for the Somali language (probably closest to the northern dialect), which due to the previously mentioned properties, makes it especially good for mixing with other languages to make letter combinations that seem strange to appear. It is unlikely that this particular generated language style will be familiar to readers, so it probably won't have existing stereotypes associated with the text. One early comment this received was, "it looks like a bunch of letters semi-randomly thrown together", which is probably a typical response (the comment was made by someone fluent in German and English, and most Western European languages are about as far as you can get from Somali).
  Libor cat naqoxekh dhuugad gisiqir?
- HINDI_ROMANIZED
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen HINDI_ROMANIZED
  
  Imitation Hindi, romanized to use the Latin alphabet using accented glyphs similar to the IAST standard. Most fonts do not support the glyphs that IAST-standard romanization of Hindi needs, so this uses alternate glyphs from at most Latin Extended-A. Relative to the IAST standard, the glyphs "ṛṝḷḹḍṭṅṇṣṃḥ" become "ŗŕļĺđţńņşĕĭ", with the nth glyph in the first string being substituted with the nth glyph in the second string. You may want to get a variant on this language with removeAccents() if you can't display the less-commonly-supported glyphs āīūĕĭáíúóŗŕļţĺđńñņśş. For some time SquidLib had a separate version of imitation Hindi that was accurate to the IAST standard, but this version is more usable because font support is much better for the glyphs it uses, so the IAST kind was removed (it added quite a bit of code for something that was mostly unusable).

- ARABIC_ROMANIZED
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ARABIC_ROMANIZED
  
  Imitation Arabic, using mostly the Latin alphabet but with some Greek letters for tough transliteration topics. It's hard to think of a more different (widely-spoken) language to romanize than Arabic. Written Arabic does not ordinarily use vowels (the writing system is called an abjad, in contrast to an alphabet), and it has more than a few sounds that are very different from those in English. This version, because of limited support in fonts and the need for separate words to be distinguishable with regular expressions, uses somewhat-accurate digraphs or trigraphs instead of the many accented glyphs (not necessarily supported by most fonts) in most romanizations of Arabic, and this scheme uses no characters from outside ASCII.
  Please try to be culturally-sensitive about how you use this generator. Classical Arabic (the variant that normally marks vowels explicitly and is used to write the Qur'an) has deep religious significance in Islam, and if you machine-generate text that (probably) isn't valid Arabic, but claim that it is real, or that it has meaning when it actually doesn't, that would be an improper usage of what this generator is meant to do. In a fantasy setting, you can easily confirm that the language is fictional and any overlap is coincidental; an example of imitation Arabic in use is the Dungeons and Dragons setting, Al-Qadim, which according to one account sounds similar to a word in real Arabic (that does not mean anything like what the designer was aiming for). In a historical setting, FakeLanguageGen is probably "too fake" to make a viable imitation for any language, and may just sound insulting if portrayed as realistic. You may want to mix ARABIC_ROMANIZED with a very different kind of language, like GREEK_ROMANIZED or RUSSIAN_AUTHENTIC, to emphasize that this is not a real-world language.

- INUKTITUT
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen INUKTITUT
  
  Imitation text from an approximation of one of the Inuktitut languages spoken by various people of the Arctic and nearby areas. This is likely to be hard to pronounce. Inuktitut is the name accepted in Canada for one language family of that area, but other parts of the Arctic circle speak languages with varying levels of difference from this style of generated text. The term "Inuit language" may be acceptable, but "Eskimo language" is probably not, and when that term is not considered outright offensive it refers to a different language group anyway (more properly called Yupik or Yup'ik, and primarily spoken in Siberia instead of Canada and Alaska).

- NORSE
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen NORSE
  
  Somewhat close to Old Norse, which is itself very close to Icelandic, so this uses Icelandic spelling rules. Not to be confused with the language(s) of Norway, where the Norwegian languages are called norsk, and are further distinguished into Bokmål and Nynorsk. This should not be likely to seem like any form of Norwegian, since it doesn't have the a-with-ring letter 'å' and has the letters eth ('Ðð') and thorn ('Þþ'). If you want to remove any letters not present on a US-ASCII keyboard, you can use FakeLanguageGen.Modifier.SIMPLIFY_NORSE on this language or some mix of this with other languages; it also changes some of the usage of "j" where it means the English "y" sound, making "fjord" into "fyord", which is closer to familiar uses from East Asia like "Tokyo" and "Pyongyang". You can also now use NORSE_SIMPLIFIED directly, which is probably easiest.

  public static final FakeLanguageGen NAHUATL
  
  Imitation text from an approximation of the language spoken by the Aztec people and also over a million contemporary people in parts of Mexico. This is may be hard to pronounce, since it uses "tl" as a normal consonant (it can start or end words), but is mostly a fairly recognizable style of language.

  Imitation text from an approximation of one of the languages spoken in the 13th-century Mongol Empire. Can be hard to pronounce. This is closest to Middle Mongolian, and is probably not the best way to approximate modern Mongolian, which was written for many years in the Cyrillic alphabet (same alphabet as Russian) and has changed a lot in other ways.

  Fantasy language that might be suitable for stealthy humanoids, such as goblins, or as a secret language used by humans who want to avoid notice. Uses no "hard" sounds like "t" and "k", but also tries to avoid the flowing aesthetic of fantasy languages associated with elves. Tends toward clusters of consonants like "bl", "gm", "dg", and "rd".

- ELF
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ELF
  
  Fantasy language that tries to imitate the various languages spoken by elves in J.R.R. Tolkien's works, using accented vowels occasionally and aiming for long, flowing, vowel-heavy words. It's called ELF because there isn't a consistent usage across fantasy and mythological sources of either "elvish", "elfish", "elven", "elfin", or any one adjective for "relating to an elf." In the GDX display module, the "smooth" and "unicode" fonts, among others, support all the accented characters you need for this.

- DEMONIC
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen DEMONIC
  
  Fantasy language that might be suitable for a language spoken by demons, aggressive warriors, or people who seek to emulate or worship similar groups. The tendency here is for DEMONIC to be the language used by creatures that are considered evil because of their violence, while INFERNAL would be the language used by creatures that are considered evil because of their manipulation and deceit (DEMONIC being "chaotic evil" and INFERNAL being "lawful evil"). This uses lots of sounds that don't show up in natural languages very often, mixing harsh or guttural sounds like "kh" and "ghr" with rare sounds like "vr", "zv", and "tl". It uses vowel-splitting in a way that is similar to LOVECRAFT, sometimes producing sounds like "tsa'urz" or "khu'olk".

- INFERNAL
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen INFERNAL
  
  Fantasy language that might be suitable for a language spoken by fiends, users of witchcraft, or people who seek to emulate or worship similar groups. The tendency here is for DEMONIC to be the language used by creatures that are considered evil because of their violence, while INFERNAL is the language used by creatures that are considered evil because of their manipulation and deceit (DEMONIC being "chaotic evil" and INFERNAL being "lawful evil"). The name INFERNAL refers to Dante's Inferno and the various naming conventions used for residents of Hell in the more-modern Christian traditions (as well as some of the stylistic conventions of Old Testament figures described as false idols, such as Moloch and Mammon). In an effort to make this distinct from the general style of names used in ancient Hebrew (since this is specifically meant for the names of villains as opposed to normal humans), we add in vowel splits as used in LOVECRAFT and DEMONIC, then add quite a few accented vowels. These traits make the language especially well-suited for "deal with the Devil" written bargains, where a single accent placed incorrectly could change the meaning of a contract and provide a way for a fiend to gain leverage.

- SIMPLISH
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen SIMPLISH
  
  English-like language that omits complex spelling and doesn't include any of the uncommon word endings of English like "ought" or "ation." A good choice when you want something that doesn't use any non-US-keyboard letters, looks somewhat similar to English, and tries to be pronounceable without too much effort. This doesn't have any doubled or silent letters, nor does it require special rules for pronouncing vowels like "road" vs. "rod", though someone could make up any rules they want.

- ALIEN_A
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ALIEN_A
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that could be spoken by some very-non-human culture that would typically be fitting for an alien species. This alien language emphasizes unusual consonant groups and prefers the vowels 'a' and 'i', sometimes with two different vowels in one syllable, like with 'ea', but never two of the same vowel, like 'ee'. Many consonant groups may border on unpronounceable unless a different sound is meant by some letters, such as 'c', 'h', 'q', 'x', 'w', and 'y'. In particular, 'x' and 'q' may need to sound like different breathy, guttural, or click noises for this to be pronounced by humans effectively.

- KOREAN_ROMANIZED
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen KOREAN_ROMANIZED
  
  Imitation text from an approximation of Korean, using the Revised Romanization method that is official in South Korea today and is easier to type. The text this makes may be hard to pronounce. Korean is interesting as a language to imitate for a number of reasons; many of the sounds in it are rarely found elsewhere, it can cluster consonants rather tightly (most languages don't; English does to a similar degree but Japanese hardly has any groups of consonants), and there are many more vowel sounds without using tones (here, two or three letters are used for a vowel, where the first can be y or w and the rest can be a, e, i, o, or u in some combination). Some letter combinations possible here are impossible or very rare in correctly-Romanized actual Korean, such as the rare occurrence of a single 'l' before a vowel (it normally only appears in Romanized text before a consonant or at the end of a word).

- ALIEN_E
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ALIEN_E
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that could be spoken by some very-non-human culture that would typically be fitting for an alien species. This alien language emphasizes hard sounds and prefers the vowels 'e' and 'a', sometimes with two of the same vowel, like 'ee', but never with two different vowels in one syllable, like with 'ea'. This language is meant to use click sounds, if pronunciation is given, where 'q' modifies a consonant to form a click, such as 'tq'. This is like how 'h' modifies letters in English to make 'th' different from 't' or 'h'. This may be ideal for a species with a beak (or one that lacks lips for some other reason), since it avoids using sounds that require lips (some clicks might be approximated by other species using their lips if this uses some alien-specific clicking organ).

  public static final FakeLanguageGen ALIEN_I
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that could be spoken by some very-non-human culture that would typically be fitting for an alien species. This alien language emphasizes "liquid" sounds such as 'l', 'r', and mixes with those and other consonants, and prefers the vowels 'i' and 'o', never with two of the same vowel, like 'ee', nor with two different vowels in one syllable, like with 'ea'; it uses accent marks heavily and could be a tonal language. It sometimes splits vowels with a single apostrophe, and rarely has large consonant clusters.

- ALIEN_O
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ALIEN_O
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that could be spoken by some very-non-human culture that would typically be fitting for an alien species. This alien language emphasizes large clusters of vowels, typically with 2 or 3 vowel sounds between consonants, though some vowel groups could be interpreted in multiple ways (such as English "maim" and "bail", which also have regional differences in pronunciation). As the name would suggest, it strongly prefers using the vowel "o", with it present in about half the groups, but doesn't have any preference toward or against the other vowels it uses, "a", "e", "i", and "u". The consonants completely avoid hard sounds like "t" and "k", medium-hard sounds like "g" and "b", and also sibilants like "s" and "z". This should be fairly hard to pronounce, but possible.

- ALIEN_U
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen ALIEN_U
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that could be spoken by some very-non-human culture that would typically be fitting for an alien species. This alien language is meant to have an abrupt change mid-word for many words, with the suffix of roughly half of words using the letter "e", which is absent from the rest of the language; these suffixes can also use consonant clusters, which are similarly absent elsewhere. The suffixes would make sense as a historical relic or as a linguistic holdout from a historical merger. As the name would suggest, it strongly prefers using the vowel "u", with it present in about half the groups, and can use the umlaut accent "ü" on some vowels. The consonants completely avoid hard sounds like "t" and "k", and don't cluster; they often have special marks. This should be relatively easy to pronounce for an alien language, though the words are rather long.

  public static final FakeLanguageGen DRAGON
  
  Fantasy language that tries to sound like the speech of a powerful and pompous dragon, using long, complex words and a mix of hard consonants like "t" and "k", "liquid" consonants like "l" and "r", and sometimes vowel groups like "ie" and "aa". It frequently uses consonant clusters involving "r". It uses no accented characters.

- KOBOLD
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen KOBOLD
  
  Fantasy language based closely on DRAGON, but with much shorter words normally and closing syllables that may sound "rushed" or "crude", though it has the same general frequency of most consonants and vowels. This means it still uses lots of "t", "k", and "r", can group two vowels sometimes, and when there's a consonant in the middle of a word, it is often accompanied by an "r" on one or both sides. If used with NaturalLanguageCipher, this will look very similar to DRAGON, because the syllable lengths aren't determined by this object but by the text being ciphered. Still, the ends of words are often different. It is called KOBOLD because, even though the original kobold myth was that of a goblin-like spirit that haunted cobalt mines, the modern RPG treatment of kobolds frequently describes them as worshippers of dragons or in some way created by dragons, but generally they're a sort of failure to live up to a dragon's high expectations. The feel of this language is meant to be something like a dragon's speech, but much less "fancy" and rather curt.

- INSECT
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen INSECT
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that would typically be fitting for an insect-like species without a close equivalent to human lips. This language emphasizes hard sounds such as 't' and 'k', uses some sibilants such as 's', 'sh', and 'x', uses lots of 'r' sounds, includes trill sounds using 'rr' (as in Spanish), and uses primarily 'a' and 'i' for vowels, with low complexity on vowels. Differs from ALIEN_E by not having harder-to-explain click sounds, and adjusting vowels/sibilants a fair bit.

  Imitation text from an approximation of Spanish (not using the variations spoken in Spain, but closer to Latin American forms of Spanish). This isn't as close as possible, but it abides by most of the orthographic rules that Spanish uses. It uses the acute accent on the vowels á, é, í, ó, and ú, as well as the consonant ñ.

- DEEP_SPEECH
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen DEEP_SPEECH
  
  Fantasy/sci-fi language that would potentially be fitting for a trade language spoken by various very-different groups, such as creatures with tentacled faces who need to communicate with spider-elves and living crystals. This language tries to use relatively few sounds so vocally-restricted species can speak it or approximate it, but some of its sounds are uncommon. It uses "ng" as Vietnamese does, as a sound that can be approximated with "w" but more accurately is like the sound at the end of "gong". It uses a breathy sound in many vowels, represented by "h", and this is separate from (and can be combined with) lengthening the vowel by doubling it ("a", "ah", "aa", and "aah" are different). The "x" sound can be approximated by any of the "kh" or "q" sounds used in various human languages, or with its usage in English for "ks". This does separate some vowels with "'", which can be a glottal stop as in Hawaiian or various other languages, or approximated with a brief pause.

- NORSE_SIMPLIFIED
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen NORSE_SIMPLIFIED
  
  Somewhat close to Old Norse, which is itself very close to Icelandic, but changed to avoid letters not on a US-ASCII keyboard. Not to be confused with the language(s) of Norway, where the Norwegian languages are called norsk, and are further distinguished into Bokmål and Nynorsk. This just applies FakeLanguageGen.Modifier.SIMPLIFY_NORSE to NORSE. This replaces eth ('Ðð') and thorn ('Þþ') with 'th' unless preceded by 's' (where 'sð' or 'sþ' becomes "st") or followed by 'r' (where 'ðr' or 'þr' becomes 'fr'). It replaces 'Æ' or 'æ' with 'Ae' or 'ae', and replaces 'Ö' or 'ö' with 'Ou' or "ou", which can change the length of a String relative to NORSE. It removes all other accent marks (since the two-dot umlaut accent has already been changed, this only affects acute accents). It also changes some of the usage of "j" where it means the English "y" sound, making "fjord" into "fyord", which is closer to familiar uses from East Asia like "Tokyo" and "Pyongyang".

  public static final FakeLanguageGen HLETKIP
  
  A fictional language that could ostensibly be spoken by some group of humans, but that isn't closely based on any one real-world language. It is meant to have a mix of hard and flowing sounds, roughly like Hebrew or Turkish, but with a very different set of consonants and consonant blends. Importantly, consonant sounds are always paired here except for the final consonant of a word, which is always one consonant sound if it is used at all. The choices of consonant sounds are designed to be unusual, like "hl", "pkh", and "zhg" (which can all start a word).

- CROW
  
  public static final FakeLanguageGen CROW
  
  A rough imitation of the Crow language of the American Midwest, using some tone marks. Some of the orthography rules aren't clear across Internet information about the language, so this really is a "fake" language it will be generating, not the real thing at all. This considers 'x' to be the rough back-of-throat noise that isn't in English other than in loanwords, like the Scottish "loch," and in names like the German "Bach." Doubled (to use the linguistic term, geminated) consonants are pronounced for a longer time, and doubled vowels with the same accent mark or no accent mark are also lengthened. An un-accented vowel has a normal tone, an accented vowel has a high tone, and an accented vowel followed by an un-accented vowel has a falling tone. This last feature is the least common among languages here, and is a good way of distinguishing imitation Crow from other languages.

  Fantasy language that is meant to sound like it could be spoken by divine or (magical) otherworldly beings. Sometimes uses the breve mark (as in ăĕĭŏ) over vowels and rarely splits consonants with '. Uses very few harsh sounds, and may be easy to confuse with ELF (this tends to use much shorter words). This happens to sound a little like Hebrew, but since this doesn't have some consonants that are commonly used in Hebrew, and because this uses accented vowels that aren't in Hebrew, they should be different enough that this language can seem "not of this world."

  public static final FakeLanguageGen CHINESE_ROMANIZED
  
  An approximation of Hanyu Pinyin, a Romanization technique used for Mandarin Chinese that has been in common use since the 1980s. This makes some slight changes so the vulgarity filters this uses can understand how some letters sound; Pinyin's letter c becomes ts, and this replaces the u with umlaut, ü, in all cases with yu.

  A rough imitation of the Cherokee language, using an attempt at romanizing the syllabary the language is often written with, using only the parts of the language that are usually written down. Some of the orthography rules aren't clear across Internet information about the language, so this really is a "fake" language it will be generating, not the real thing at all. The vowel 'ü' is used in place of the 'v' that the normal transliteration uses, to help with profanity-checking what this generates; it is pronounced like in the French word "un".

  public static final FakeLanguageGen VIETNAMESE
  
  A very rough imitation of the Vietnamese language, without using the accurate characters Vietnamese really uses but that are rare in fonts. Since so many letters in correct Vietnamese aren't available in most fonts, this can't represent most of the accented vowels in the language, but it tries, with 6 accents for each of a, e, i, o, and u, though none for y. It also uses 'ð' from Icelandic in place of the correct d with bar. This could also maybe be used as an approximation of (badly) Romanized Thai, since Thai normally uses its own script but also has many tones (which would be indicated by the accents here).

  public static final FakeLanguageGen[] registered
  
  An array that stores all the hand-made FakeLanguageGen constants; it does not store randomly-generated languages nor does it store modifications or mixes of languages. The order these are stored in is related to the numeric codes for languages in the serializeToString() output, but neither is dependent on the other if this array is changed for some reason (which is not recommended, but not out of the question). If this is modified, then it is probably a bad idea to assign null to any elements in registered; special care is taken to avoid null elements in its original state, so some code may rely on the items being usable and non-null.

  sane - true to perform sanity checks for pronounce-able sounds to most English speakers, replacing many words that are impossible to say; slows down generation slightly, irrelevant for non-Latin alphabets
  
  clean - true to perform vulgarity/obscenity checks on the word, replacing it if it is too close to a common English vulgarity, obscenity, or slur/epithet; slows down generation slightly
Method Details
- removeAccents
  
  public static CharSequence removeAccents(CharSequence str)
  
  Removes accented Latin-script characters from a string; if the "base" characters are non-English anyway then the result won't be an ASCII string, but otherwise it probably will be.
  
  Parameters:
  
  str - a string that may contain accented Latin-script characters
  
  Returns:
  
  a string with all accented characters replaced with their (possibly ASCII) counterparts

  If a FakeLanguageGen is known and is in registered, this allows you to look up that FakeLanguageGen by name (using a name from registeredNames).
  
  Parameters:
  
  name - a String name such as "English", "Korean Romanized", or "Russian Authentic"
  
  Returns:
  
  a FakeLanguageGen corresponding to the given name, or null if none was found
- getAt
  
  public static FakeLanguageGen getAt(int index)

  Parameters:
  
  index - an int from 0 to FakeLanguageGen.registered.length - 1
  
  Returns:
  
  a FakeLanguageGen corresponding to the given index, or null if none was found

- checkVulgarity
  
  public static boolean checkVulgarity(CharSequence testing)
  
  Checks a CharSequence, such as a String, against an overzealous vulgarity filter, returning true if the text could contain vulgar elements or words that could seem vulgar or juvenile. The idea here is that false positives are OK as long as there are very few false negatives (missed vulgar words). Does not check punctuation or numbers that could look like letters.
  
  Parameters:
  
  testing - the text, as a CharSequence such as a String, to check
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the text could contain a vulgar or juvenile element; false if it probably doesn't

- merge1000
  
  protected String[] merge1000(IRNG rng, String[] me, String[] other, double otherInfluence)
- accentVowels
  
  protected String[] accentVowels(IRNG rng, String[] me, double influence)
- accentConsonants
  
  protected String[] accentConsonants(IRNG rng, String[] me, double influence)
- accentBoth
  
  protected String[] accentBoth(IRNG rng, String[] me, double vowelInfluence, double consonantInfluence)
- mix
  
  public FakeLanguageGen mix(FakeLanguageGen other, double otherInfluence)
  
  Makes a new FakeLanguageGen that mixes this object with other, mingling the consonants and vowels they use as well as any word suffixes or other traits, and favoring the qualities in other by otherInfluence, which will value both languages evenly if it is 0.5 .
  You should generally prefer mix(double, FakeLanguageGen, double, Object...) or mixAll(Object...) if you ever mix 3 or more languages. Chaining this mix() method can be very counter-intuitive because the weights are relative, while in the other mix() and mixAll() they are absolute.
  
  Parameters:
  
  other - another FakeLanguageGen to mix along with this one into a new language
  
  otherInfluence - how much other should affect the pair, with 0.5 being equal and 1.0 being only other used
  
  Returns:
  
  a new FakeLanguageGen with traits from both languages
- mix
  
  public FakeLanguageGen mix(double myWeight, FakeLanguageGen other1, double weight1, Object... pairs)
  
  Produces a FakeLanguageGen by mixing this FakeLanguageGen with one or more other FakeLanguageGen objects. Takes a weight for this, another FakeLanguageGen, a weight for that FakeLanguageGen, then a possibly-empty group of FakeLanguageGen parameters and the weights for those parameters. If other1 is null or if pairs has been given a value of null instead of the normal (possibly empty) array of Objects, then this simply returns a copy of this FakeLanguageGen. Otherwise, it will at least mix this language with other1 using the given weights for each. If pairs is not empty, it has special requirements for what types it allows and in what order, but does no type checking. Specifically, pairs requires the first Object to be a FakeLanguageGen, the next to be a number of some kind that will be the weight for the previous FakeLanguageGen(this method can handle non-Double weights, and converts them to Double if needed), and every two parameters after that to follow the same order and pattern (FakeLanguageGen, then number, then FakeLanguageGen, then number...). Weights are absolute, and don't depend on earlier weights, which is the case when chaining the mix(FakeLanguageGen, double) method. This makes reasoning about the ideal weights for multiple mixed languages easier; to mix 3 languages equally you can use 3 equal weights with this, whereas with mix chaining you would need to mix the first two with 0.5 and the third with 0.33 .
  It's up to you whether you want to use mixAll(Object...) or this method; they call the same code and produce the same result, including the summary for serialization support. You probably shouldn't use mix(FakeLanguageGen, double) with two arguments in new code, since it's easy to make mistakes when mixing three or more languages (calling that twice or more).
  
  Parameters:
  
  myWeight - the weight to assign this FakeLanguageGen in the mix
  
  other1 - another FakeLanguageGen to mix in; if null, this method will abort and return copy()
  
  weight1 - the weight to assign other1 in the mix
  
  pairs - may be empty, not null; otherwise must alternate between FakeLanguageGen and number (weight) elements
  
  Returns:
  
  a FakeLanguageGen produced by mixing this with any FakeLanguageGen arguments by the given weights
- mixAll
  
  public static FakeLanguageGen mixAll(Object... pairs)
  
  Produces a FakeLanguageGen from a group of FakeLanguageGen parameters and the weights for those parameters. Requires the first Object in pairs to be a FakeLanguageGen, the next to be a number of some kind that will be the weight for the previous FakeLanguageGen(this method can handle non-Double weights, and converts them to Double if needed), and every two parameters after that to follow the same order and pattern (FakeLanguageGen, then number, then FakeLanguageGen, then number...). There should be at least 4 elements in pairs, half of them languages and half of them weights, for this to do any mixing, but it can produce a result with as little as one FakeLanguageGen (returning a copy of the first FakeLanguageGen). Weights are absolute, and don't depend on earlier weights, which is the case when chaining the mix(FakeLanguageGen, double) method. This makes reasoning about the ideal weights for multiple mixed languages easier; to mix 3 languages equally you can use 3 equal weights with this, whereas with mix chaining you would need to mix the first two with 0.5 and the third with 0.33 .
  This is probably the most intuitive way to mix languages here, though there's also mix(double, FakeLanguageGen, double, Object...), which is very similar but doesn't take its parameters in quite the same way (it isn't static, and treats the FakeLanguageGen object like the first item in pairs here). Used internally in the deserialization code.
  
  Parameters:
  
  pairs - should have at least one item, and must alternate between FakeLanguageGen and number (weight) elements
  
  Returns:
  
  a FakeLanguageGen produced by mixing any FakeLanguageGen arguments by the given weights
- addAccents
  
  public FakeLanguageGen addAccents(double vowelInfluence, double consonantInfluence)
  
  Produces a new FakeLanguageGen like this one but with extra vowels and/or consonants possible, adding from a wide selection of accented vowels (if vowelInfluence is above 0.0) and/or consonants (if consonantInfluence is above 0.0). This may produce a gibberish-looking language with no rhyme or reason to the accents, and generally consonantInfluence should be very low if it is above 0 at all.
  
  Parameters:
  
  vowelInfluence - between 0.0 and 1.0; if 0.0 will not affect vowels at all
  
  consonantInfluence - between 0.0 and 1.0; if 0.0 will not affect consonants at all
  
  Returns:
  
  a new FakeLanguageGen with modifications to add accented vowels and/or consonants
- removeAccents
  
  public FakeLanguageGen removeAccents()
  
  Useful for cases with limited fonts, this produces a new FakeLanguageGen like this one but with all accented characters removed (including almost all non-ASCII Latin-alphabet characters, but only some Greek and Cyrillic characters). This will replace letters like "A with a ring" with just "A". Some of the letters chosen as replacements aren't exact matches.
  
  Returns:
  
  a new FakeLanguageGen like this one but without accented letters
- getName
  
  public String getName()
  
  Returns the name of this FakeLanguageGen, such as "English" or "Deep Speech", if one was registered for this. In the case of hybrid languages produced by mix(FakeLanguageGen, double) or related methods, this should produce a String like "English/French" (or "English/French/Maori" if more are mixed together). If no name was registered, this will return "Nameless Language".
  
  Returns:
  
  the human-readable name of this language, or "Nameless Language" if none is known
