Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

Sure! I absolutely am not looking for anything diachronically related or a posteriori . Just a language that gets at a somewhat Germanic aesthetic. I apologize if there was any confusion. Also, I realize that this will in no way be something anyone could confuse for German and don't really want it t...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

I'm seeking a bit of aid, folks! I had the following inventory for a now defunct conlang that had some glorious clusters and made me kinda happy. However, I can tell that it's not one I will be going back to. (The relevant thread is here , if you want more info about where this project started.) / n...

Re: Ghoster's Conlangerium

Beautiful stuff!

I'd like to see some samples in slightly larger size so that I can peep some of the details in the various scripts.

Re: why is it that in many fantasy stories, humans are the focus?

I'll answer the question in the subject as simply as I can: Because we are humans, that's why. We know about ourselves, and therefore it is easiest to understand a story about ourselves. Basically, as Sal said above, any story with a non-human race in it might as well be about humans anyway if the w...

Since it's a conlang, and you know English, how can you be sure the word wasn't coined as a direct borrowing or somesuch?

Re: Other Creativity

I started my (almost) first D&D campaign today with a friend from work, and some other folks who he's known for ages. 'Twas a lot of fun, and just as deliciously nerdy as I expected it to be. Aaaaaanyway, I used a super-hero creator to do a somewhat decent facsimile of what my character looked l...

Re: My invented language

...not sure why that would be obvious as this is your thread about the language. Simply posting an unglossed passage in a romanization doesn't really give any clues as to what anyone is supposed to do with it. (I had guessed you were merely posting it to show what the 'lang looks like written out.) ...
