Conlang mini-ideas

[zyma]

Fair enough. There was a talk on LCC6 about romlangs and the guy who presented it showed his own romlang which was set somewhere in, afaik, Swabia. It was a pretty good presentation and the entire event is on youtube, might wanna track it down.

Oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with what you're talking about. It's called Jovian. For anyone who's interested:

The presentation in question.
A webpage on the language.
The language's page on the Ill Bethisad Wiki.

Basically, I'm a wacko

Update on my old list; Only more wacquier

• Sardinian~Berber creole, unaffected by Arabic
• Modern Arcadocypriot descendant (probably entirely Cypriot
• Arcadocypriot~Arabic creole
• Arcadocypriot~Sardinian creole
• Francesque Latin descendant (think Silvish, (PS: I love it, Dormouse))
• Anglo-Frisian language affected by Sardinian
• Future English, except more seriously focused on grammatical changes
• A Diachronic Austroasiatic language (with a focus on derivation and loaning)
• A more North American language
• Transuniversal creole of Sardinian, Berber, Arcadocypriot, Akuriga, Diśaśta, and maybe Sanskrit
• Future Guanche
• Byznomance; Koine Greek Romancified
• Something Tibetic?
• Something Sinitic?
• Paleosiberian creole
• Another future English; this time based off of realistic known vowel mutations
• PIE Cen-Tem
• PIE subfamily descendants
• (N)Tai-Mon Creole.
• Indo-Aryan Tasmanian creole
• Andamese condescendant
• Austroasiatic condescendant
• Condescendant of Pseudo-Latin.

OK, to update my old list:

- A language with a phonology resembling those of the PNW, possibly with something approaching triconsonantal-root-morphology
- A language with a very restricted set of verb roots (with maybe a few other features from Australian Aboriginal languages)
- A language inspired by Ryukyuan with a small phoneme inventory and lots of dependent verbs and switch-reference (with the eventual intention of putting it out as a collaborative daughterlang project someday)

Currently in development:

- An Algonquian a-posteriori language spoken in Montana (watch development here: I need to post about animate-intransitive inflection soon

Adding to my growing list of a posteriori ideas, yesterday I got the urge to make a Celtic language spoken on a fictional island in the Bay of Biscay.

I'd like to see a modern Hellenolang/Greeklang. Not to many of those, that is.

[Zythros Jubi]

Update on my old list; Only more wacquier

I'd like to see these:
1. Arcadocypriot descendant with Armenian substrate (Cilician Greek?)
2. Arcadocypriot descendant with Syriac superstrate & Arabic substrate (Maronite Greek?)
3. Neapolitan & Sicilian Byzmance, Medieval Greek Romancified with Langobard/Norman/Arabic vocab
4. maybe Crimean Gothic-Turkic creole

As for me:
1. Mascarene Malayo-Polynesian (unsure which branch)
2. Azorean/Madeiran Visigothic (is this plausible?)
3. Neo-Gallaecian (Insular Celtic with Ibero-Romance sound changes)
4. Gallo-Romancified Basque

I have ever thought of a language where there are no personal pronouns and every speaker uses their names as pronouns instead, somewhat like some styles of Japanese.

Besides Town Speech/Urban Basanawa, I have ideas of a posteriori languages heavily influenced by a priori(Western Ketzer, a Tungusic language heavily influenced by Lonmai Luna); a priori heavily influenced by a posteriori(Lingua Lucali, an a priori heavily influenced by Latin and Romance, and Bet, a diachronic language from an a priori heavily influenced by Slavic)...

How about a musical polysynthetic logical language?

That would be a feuture of a philosophical language.

I'm currently typing this on a phone so I can't write it out but what about the consonants of Ubykh with the vowels of Danish and a non phonemic writing system like French.

You know I think I somehow always knew that masochistic conlanging might be a thing.

And really confusing grammar (like English, maybe?)

How is English's grammar confusing? Unless you're speaking subjectively?

I think you might be confusing English's orthography with its grammar.

Meh.

[Esneirra973]

If you're doing Ubykh with Danish vowels, make it isolating and devise a logography where each stroke is a variant of the letter U.

A philosophical language with no grammar words or pronouns--instead, it is done in declension.

So a polysynthetic lang?

Not quite.
What I'm saying, is use a bunch of cases, and put pronouns (or at least nominitive pronouns) into the verb.
