Ursula Le Guin wants a word. (Not to mention Orwell, Burgess, Richard Adams....)

Look, I wouldn't have used Jackson's Lord of the Rings as the kickoff of modern commercial conlangs: I grew up around too many buttons and bumper stickers of Mark Okrand's Klingon. I still found the tracing of languages through Herbert valuable and agree it makes a particular political point when Villeneuve's future can contain spoken Mandarin and people named Jessica but not Arabic.
