Re: Ranian language (second attempt)
[quote="Omzinesý"]Interesting ideas! I'm commenting your terminology. - Could the intransitive case just be called the prepositional case. How I understand the intransitive case is the only subject argument of an intransitive verb, contrasted to arguments of transitive verbs. - The common ...

Re: Ranian language (second attempt)
Very interesting conlang. In fact, you've given me some ideas for my own conlang. I assume it's a priori? It has a very slavic feel, with a bit of Hindu and Caucasian in it. Yeah, it's a priori. The country it's spoken in is in Eastern Europe, in the northwestern corner of Belarus, but it's descend...

Re: Meigri language
What I find a bit baffling is your defective ejective system: Why is there no [p'] and [t']? How would one say: "Did I keep"? "U go zlik ja" or something like that? Also, please describe the usage of the tenses more properly. You differentiate between "Imperfect" and &...

Re: West Azorean language
Hm.. it may be nice if you stuck the phonemic inventory in a featural chart, and give a bit of information about syllable structure and allophony. What's the difference between old and new orthography? When is VSO used? The old orthography was used by Portugese missionaries during the colonization ...

West Azorean language
The story behind this is similar to Proto-Atlantic ( http://cbbforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5196 ) - around 6000 years ago, the Azores were colonised by settlers from modern-day Galicia, Portugal and the Canaries. Over time, a few small fishing settlements on the islands developed into a powerf...

Re: The CBB Conlang Census
in the text, I use the term "ergative" to refer to the object of intransitive verbs, since at the time of its creation, I was not aware that the ergative refers to the subject Don't intransitive verbs by definition have no object? Well, technically they do, since the "object" ta...

Re: Made up language for a book
It DOES NOT need to be fancy, or look super nice, or be a fully formed language. The language I'm creating is specifically being used as a plot point (one of my characters does not understand it). It's not being used very heavily. That being said I'd like some suggestions. Most of the people who ha...

This topic is for requesting lessons or guides that you'd like to see. I know this one might be a bit weird, but how about a Polynesian language like Rapa Nui or Hawaiian? The Rapa Nui are my favourite ancient culture, and I've been trying to learn their language from Internet-based resources with ...

Pretty much, yes. In this language, verbs are shown entirely through temporary nouns.Omzinesý wrote:Is the difference between actions and objects just defined by particles and word order?

Rostinian language (2nd attempt)
The Rostinian language, spoken on Rostinia, an island in the Baltic Sea. It is Slavic, but is hyperagglutinative, to the point where very long sentences fit into single words. This is my second attempt at this language. http://relkton.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/rostinian-language-2nd-attempt.html Роштин...

Re: Unglish language
Your orthography is... unique? Why is /N/ romanized as <q> for instance? Because /ŋ/ can occur initially in words, and this has its own character in the Unglish writing system. Therefore, in transcription, it's logical to give it its own character. And besides, not all languages are logical - that'...

Re: Unglish language
A lot of features, including the reflexive verbs, were derived from other languages, but most vocabulary and grammar is descended from modern English, for example, the feature of definite articles. The locative was originally a preposition, which became a postposition and was ultimately merged with ...
