I would love some information on who was the linguist who helped with this.

Has anyone seen any background on the Breen written language reveal in Discovery S5E5?

Did the writer or a EP mention anything on this in an interview I might have missed?

@virtualbri is there a colleague you could direct us to whom we could ask very nicely?

Interesting piece on #inventedlanguages in fictional works. Looking forward to hearing the new Na’vi dialogue in #Avatar Way of Water https://dnyuz.com/2022/12/31/hollywoods-love-affair-with-fictional-languages/ - ‘Commissioning an entirely new language, which felt special for the first Avatar, is becoming a staple for immersive science-fiction and fantasy worlds.’
