What d'you mean by that? I mean like most types of conmagic are "natural" - explicitly or implicitly - in the world they're in, as in it's part of it.

Re: New

IPA? Haha i have no idea what that is :) I suggest you learn a bit about it. While it's intimidating to learn at first, it's actually not too hard (at least to learn the IPA for your native tongue(s)). It's a standard used by most if not all of the conlangers here and on other conlanging forums - o...

Re: My Conlangs Phono-stuff

My thoughts: The phonology is remarkably similar to English's phonology, that's what I think decemarietis meant by the sarcastic inventive. Although veteran conlangers will associate this with nooblanging, whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you and whether that's your intention - there's ...

Metaphysics / Cosmology / Theology / Eschatology of Arteran

This thread is an attempt at describing the metaphysics/cosmology/theology/eschatology of my conworld, Arteran. I’ll be doing this in a series of posts, going through different aspects of Arteran’s metaphysics/cosmology/theology/eschatology. I originally planned this to be just one post, but nobody ...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I learned to not give a damn. [+1] [+1] Same here. Realizing that I'd never be uber-awesome at conlanging, and also that conlanging isn't my main focus (conworlding and conhistory is and even those are technically not even my *main* main focus, creative writing), I figured it would be a waste of my...

next question: What would your con culture think of a strip club? Keintapans: Wait - how come the women strippers aren't slaves?

Re: Ways of having Subtle Con-magic

After thinking about this for quite some time, I've thought of a few concepts for my conworld using the existing ideas I had. I'll just list the ones most relevant to this thread (as the others would deal with metaphysics and cosmology and all that, and I'll save that for another thread). So basical...

palatal /r/ > /ʝ/ > /ɣ/

Where /ʝ/ is the intermediary step?

Since there doesn't seem to be a next question currently, I'll add one myself: what your conpeople think of transexuality? Aidisese: The reincarnation process must have messed itself up, poor soul.

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

Something I've been working on - Athlian. So far I have the phonologies for Proto-Athlian and its descendent Classical Athlian (later I'll whip up Classical Athlian's descendant, Modern Standard Athlian). The main inspiration is Arabic, but there's a good hint of Persian particularly with Proto-Athl...
