Trigedasleng is a constructed language created by David J. Peterson for the second series in the American drama The 100 (TV series). The language is a future version of American English spoken by a group of people who have survived an apocalypse. Its name is literally forest language. Since it is close to English it has developed a following from fans of the show, who extend the language sometimes in cooperation with its creator.

Development

After his constructed language work on Star-Crossed, Peterson was contacted by the producers of The 100 to create a language for the Grounders, an evolution of English. In the setting, around 250 years have passed since the apocalypse, which is a very short time for significant language change. Because of this, Peterson posited an accelerated evolution in which the early Grounders used a cant specifically to obfuscate their speech and to differentiate between friend or foe. Trigedasleng derives from that cant and evolved over several short generations of survivors of the apocalypse. <ref name="conlangery">http://conlangery.com/2016/07/04/conlangery-121-trigedasleng/</a>
