I'm trying to make a language for my book (well languages) and I'm on my first language where I've just finished my alphabet but I'm getting told I should make an Ipa chart after this but I'm so confused on how to make it because I've searched it up and I'm seeing Monophthong and symbols ive never seen before in my life.
So I'm writing my first story and in the planning stages and my story is a fantasy story so everything in my world is made up but takes inspiration from our world in terms of geography, clothing biome and I'm stuck on what to research for the ethnicities I want to make and how to come up with like clothing, traditions and if I should make my ethnicities/tribes be a country (6 in total) each or one country with 6 main ethnicities and some minor ones that aren't that important to my plot. Because I wanna have one of my ethnicities be wiped out by their enemies and im not sure if it makes sense for a whole country to be wiped out but I want them to have their own seperate and unique identities. Please help.
