Hi Christopher! I love your series so much...Though I still haven't gotten around to reading the fourth book [inheritance] I will soon. I have one question. How did you come up with the ancient language? Even the language the dwarfs and the urgles speak. Like what was your inspiration? It always amazed me when I read your books that you created such an amazing and detailed world. Not many authors go to such lengths.

Christopher Paolini Glad to hear you are enjoying the series, Azrah! Visit my website to see and hear everything there is to know about how I invented the languages for the Inheritance Cycle: https://www.paolini.net/writers-corne.... Hope that helps!

A Goodreads user asked Christopher Paolini:

If you could create another fictional language for a novel, which real life language would you base if off of? Or alternatively, which languages are the most intriguing to you? Your books are quite special to me; I've met a close friend through the Inheritance cycle. When I moved away, I was distraught. But just propping Eragon open reminds me that no matter the miles between us, memories will stay eternally with us.

Connor asked Christopher Paolini:

I have read the Inheritance Cycle about 4 times and I always find myself fascinated by Angela and wanting to know more. One thing I have always wanted is a trilogy dedicated to telling the story of Angela. I'm wondering what would be required to convince you to do so???? (I'm kidding. Sort of.)
