Re: I fail.

I've been trying since I first found the Language Creation Kit years ago. And by years ago I mean over 5 years ago. Of course, my biggest issue is that I end up getting distracted by other things or busy, but I've also been having the issue of not liking what I come up with. My advice is to just lea...

^ Thank you for the advice about the sound changes! That was really helpful.

(And gah, I'm already dreading the verbs. Me and verbs don't get along without much sweat on my side :mrgreen: )

Re: Conlangs based on natlangs: justifying their history

Thanks for the info! I'll check out your conlang, the Georgian part sounds especially interesting. ;-) My biggest issue is mostly justifying that, with those changes ocurring in function of the speakers, that my conlang would retain a neuter gender and declensions. Of course, it's a conlang, so I ha...

Conlangs based on natlangs: justifying their history

I hope I can word my question correctly. I am working on a Romance conlang, and I'd like for it to retain some features (e.g. neuter nouns) existent in Latin, but not found in most current Romance languages. Is there a good way to justify this? Many of these changes come from Vulgar Latin, as do lot...

Re: Germanic Esperanto

Here's the link to Folkspraak . I just Googled "Germanic auxlangs", and in addition to Folkspraak (above), I found a few links that might help you. I'm no Germanics expert (Romance is how I roll), but here they are: This page has a bunch of auxlang links. Folkspraak seems to be only purely...

Re: Conlangs on Nation Sates forum

I apologize if I'm bumping an otherwise dead thread.

To join those forums, you should register to create a Nation in the main game first. After that, you may log in and post on the forums using your nation's name (if I recall correctly). Hope I helped.

Re: Germanic Esperanto

Basically you're saying that you'd like a language that is a mash of Germanic languages, or one that is a mash of different languages with an emphasis on Germanic? If you Google for "Germanic conglangs" or "Germanic based conlangs" you might be able to find something.

Re: Linguistic Resources

http://paleoglot.blogspot.com/ - a (sometimes controversial) blog about Proto-Indo-European, Etruscans, Minoans etc. This seems interesting, but do you know how reliable it is? I'm lurking about and it seems good so far but I'd hate to read something wrong and believe it. I don't know how many of y...
