Re: Lexiconga, the quick & simple dictionary builder, has been updated! (New features added July 15, 2019)
Yeah, support for custom fonts was one of the things I saw most that no other tool I had see could do yet, and CSS was by far the easiest way to implement it! Community features is unfortunately one of the things that's decidedly out of scope for Lexiconga. I built it as a tool by itself, but I coul...

Re: A Handy Tool for Building Your Dictionary/Lexicon
It's been a very long time since the last Lexiconga update, and in that time I've attempted 3 full rewrites of the code, and this last one has finally stuck! I'm in the testing & cleanup phase right now, and on July 1st, I'm going to put the new version online. The new version includes many impr...

Re: A Handy Tool for Building Your Dictionary/Lexicon
What about your server or webhosting? Will it be there forever? I mean, I have no plans to ever take it offline, so it'll be there as "forever" as anyone can ever plan to have anything last forever. If you're really that worried about it and still really want to use Lexiconga, the whole p...

Re: New Tool for Dictionary/Lexicon-Building
Alright, it's been a while, but I didn't want to make a new post just for the same topic. Anyway, I've been working on Lexiconga Dictionary Builder for a long time now, and this is the biggest update I've released so far! On the front-end (what you see): The site got a facelift! Instead of the older...

That's a good way to think about it... Thanks!masako wrote:Try not to think in stark terms like "each individual thing or action"...but more 'how' you want to say something. This will influence not only lexical depth, but grammar, syntax, prosody, etc.

Re: Vocabulary/Lexicon Size
In your case where the focus is very much making it functional, I think you will end up solving your own problem as you move along. Is there a time where people who can't move their arms to gesture would need to use this language? If there is, maybe some words should be split into multiple smaller ...

Re: Vocabulary/Lexicon Size
Obviously, you have a rather atypical goal for your language. Natural languages tend to have a lot of redundancy, and most of us here try to create naturalistic languages. I'd say: create a small vocabulary but make some rules of derivational morphology so speakers can create new words if needed. T...

Vocabulary/Lexicon Size
How important do you think it is for a conlang to have words for each individual thing or action? Obviously the answer depends on what the language is intended to be used for and on the people who use it. A more analytical and exacting conlang will probably have a separate word for each and every in...

Re: A software question
Hi! I am new here but not new to the conlanging. Now I'm working on my conscript and I need some help with the software. My script is based on many unique characters just like Chinese hanzi. So there is a pinyin input method that allows the user to input the characters by displaying a window with p...
Re: 'Oayhàoù
So I just had a thought about giving 'Oayhàoù alternating stress patterns like in English because it's such an intentionally vague language, but I'm not sure if I should because alternating stress patterns are one of the things that I hate about English! The benefit would be that it would cut down t...

Re: Most Effective Strategy for Organizing Conworlds/culture
I was looking around and realized that a personal wiki could be a really good tool for this kind of thing! (This was before I saw alynnidalar's post, which basically suggests the same kind of thing!) There are some that you can install on your computer, but a good one I'm trying out is called Tiddly...

Most Effective Strategy for Organizing Conworlds/cultures?
I've been kicking around some ideas for a conworld and some concultures for a while, but I've always been hesitant to actually start writing them down because I feel like everything would get muddled and unmanageable way too quickly and lead to me giving up. I want to get this stuff out of my head b...
Re: 'Oayhàoù
Alright! I just reached 100 words, and I'm ready to share my progress!
Check out my Lexiconga dictionary to see the words and more up-to-date details about the conlang! :D
http://lexicon.ga/view/?dict=46
I'll make an update pretty soon, I think... I've added quite a bit.

'Oayhàoù
Here's a language I've been working on as sort of an experiment. I noticed that my dog and I can make a lot of the same sounds, and I wondered how far I could stretch that idea. I tried to come up with a phonology that could theoretically be covered by as many mammals as I could think of, and the be...

Re: New Tool for Dictionary/Lexicon-Building
Nifty! How would storage for these accounts be handled? Do you use a server somewhere? If so, do you foresee the need for ads or other revenue generation in the future?
