Re: Metal Thread
I've been listening to a new song called Levitation by Fallujah and it's pretty amazing. A blend unlike anything I've ever heard. It must be listened to from beginning to end! :)

Re: How to Add/Insert/Type Special Characters
Am I the only person who uses ALT + code to type IPA? It takes a while to remember them, but I've memorized most of the ones I use the most. I find it incredibly easy and it works for me on Windows 7 with most programs that I use. Simply hold down ALT and type the numbers listed below. For example t...

Re: Elections
The Ogorok Union is a multi-national federation that has free elections. Before you can understand the elections, you must understand the make-up of the federation. It is divided into four different types of members: constituent states, autonomous states, republics, and administrative regions. http:...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
What are some ways in which a language could lose tone? I'm looking for a general, universal phonological change to occur. Here is my current idea. How does it sound? Vowel phonemes: /a i u/ with phonemic tone: rising, neutral, falling. /da˨˦/ - /da/ - /da˥˩/ /di˨˦/ - /di/ - /di˥˩/ /du˨˦/ - /du/ - /...
Re: Prosody
I haven't been a person to really ponder the idea of prosody for very long. I usually just create the word-level prosody and move on to other things. But I went through a short 'spell' in which I wanted to create "alien" languages. This involved a lot of thinking outside the box. I thought...

Re: Non-English Orthography Reform
I have always had fun latinizing the Russian language. I know that Standard Russian will most likely never adopt the Latin alphabet, because the Cyrillic alphabet is perfect for Russian (why fix that which isn't broken?). But still, it's quite fun :) So here it is, The novyj russkij jazyk ! Consonan...

Re: Penzalan
2. Phonology This section discusses Penzalan phonology, with a focus on Standard Penzalan. Standard Penzalan is based on the dialect spoken in the city of Vantunn, which became the center of power in Penzala shortly after the Penzalans gained control. The early Vantunn dialect was notable for prono...
Re: Penzalan
1. Introduc-se-on! The Penzalan language (Penzalan: Penzale pivl [ˈpʰɛnt͡salɛ ˈpʰivl]) is a West Vazorian language spoken in the Republic of Penzala. It was known as the "New Sashlic" language (Penzalan: Sofsahle pivl [ˈsɔfsaçlɛ ˈpʰivl̩]) until the mid 1600s. http://i46.tinypic.com/2eg3zv...
Penzalan
I would love to share the wonderful Penzalan language with you all! Penzalan is actually my first conlang, but it no longer resembles what it used to be back then. When I was about ten or eleven years old, I started making conworlds and history stories to go along with them. Penzala was my first rea...

Re: Is my goal even possible?
I believe that it's possible. You've just got a barrier somewhere that you need to knock down. You say that you get ideas for a sentence but can't figure out how to translate that into your conlang's grammar — I experience this a lot . The easiest way to solve this problem is to use your native lang...

Re: Уроки русского
I learnt the prepositional case first in my Russian book because it's so darn easy. Yes, I probably should have introduced it in the beginning — but I didn't :p. I'm working on rewriting lessons 2-4 atm, and should have them all updated in the next few days. I've also pretty much written out the ne...
