The CBB

since when was eberron the most popular? the sole reason it even exists is bc some kid won a contest, and most ppl like to criticize it it seems. and besides, i've played that dnd online thing, which takes place in eberron, i find the setting to be very very bland. infact, in the entire beginning ar...

just as all the idiots on this site believe that you're only a good conlanger if your conlang is completely and utterly alien (and most likely unintelligible to anyone but maybe yourself) you think anyone who makes a world with a few cliches has no idea wtf they're doing. tell me, if you cant featur...

Where is xBlackWolfx? Somewhere telling an adult "They were mean to me on CBB!"? I don't know, Though I doubt it really matters, he was more fun railing up than discussing with anyway how mature. and no, i didnt go cry to an adult, i cryed to an administrator who btw banned me, then blame...

so then why do i bother to post here? all i get is a bunch of BUTT-FUCKING FAGGOTS screaming in my face over and over and again that i'm insane and every single one of my very carefully thought-out and researched opinions are completely wrong. no one here knows shit about linguistics. and you know ...

children do struggle with inflections when they're learning their native language. meaning it does take a person longer to learn an inflecting language even if its their first one. not to mention virtually all creoles and pidgins are highly isolating and configurational, irregardless of the parent l...

i DONT like english, as far as i'm concerned it encourages idiocy. Clearly. ironny, i just discovered that this forum does not classify personnal attacks as a bannable offense, ironic considering every single other site i've been one gives such creatures a permanent ban. and honestly, if you actual...

i only recall one lesson where we learned about grammar at all, and i couldn't make heads or tails out of it (i still have a hard time remembering garbage like subordinate clauses and such, the linguistic terms for clauses are a hell of alot easier to understand, adjectival and adverbal). most of wh...

Part of this trend in auxlangs probably is due to the realization that there are languages that aren't European - a thing mr. Zamenhof failed to really properly understand. its not until you look at other languages that you get an idea of just how alien they can be. zamenhof probably assumed that h...

how about ithkuil? its three syllables, and literally translates as a 'a system of individual but interacting units of speech that is imaginary', or more simply, 'a constructed language'. that three syllable word is actually a sentence describing what a conlang is . try that in an isolating natlang....

I've noticed this trend in auxlangs in recent years, everyone wants to make an auxlang that is completely isolating, without any affixes what-so-ever, ironic considering that the most successful auxlang of all time (and one of the few to be successful mind you) has a rather impressive list of affixe...

i just thought of something else, how long would it take me to complete such a project? am i going to spend years coming up with a vocabulary before i get to the point where i rarely have to conjure up a new word on the spot? considering i've been doing this for three or four years now (w/e its been...

i would like to know what these 'historical' reasons are, i cant imagine how stuff like this could happen. all i know is english inhereted at least some of its spelling irregularities from french, which for some mysterious reason doesnt bother to update the spelling of their words as their pronuncia...

why not? english has like 10 vowels and we only have 5 letters to represent them. our letter 'a' alone can represent four different vowel sounds ( a bout, c a t, c a ught, and c a ne). very few systems are phonetic, and the languages of the british isles most certainly are not phonetic. i looked up ...

i personnaly found it hard to read the font that you used for the 'Vikeltic' words. if you're a beginner btw, it'd be a really good idea for you to read the language construction kit, if you havent already. though i am impressed by the fact that you already seem to know some IPA and have some concep...

i have an external hard drive now, which btw automatically backs up my data on its own. i used it to install windows 7 (bc my internet suddenly stopped working and no one could figure out why, i had a thread over on the microsoft forums that was over 12 pages long just trying to figure out why this ...

they solved one letter, but the same cipher doesnt work for the others. a few years ago they had an FBI agent anaylyze it, to see if the letters had any sort of pattern to them or if they were random gibberish. he claims that only the top half of the two messages seem to have any sort of pattern, th...

i just want the end product, the only thing i like about the process is what it will (or could) result in.

sometimes i use an OVS order, sometimes a SOV, sometimes SVO, sometimes OVS, it all depends on w/e i think sounds right for the sentence. and if i added in every noun case i've ever heard of (such as this 'experiencer' case), i'd have over 100 by now. my main problem is, i'm a perfectionist, i cant ...
