I think you need to get more clear on the terminology. I think you're misunderstanding something about what cases are. The affix itself can certainly exist, there's nothing weird about that. It's just you haven't shown us any reason to think it's a case. I needed an answer to whether it exists to b...

"John kept the death-bringer out of trouble". "With the death-bringer around, you gotta be careful". "The death-bringer comes to everyone." How would -bringer fit into a case-like syntactical behavior? The "bringer" case would probably have worked as a replac...

Do you mean like a derivative suffix or an actual case? (I guess you don't quite know what 'case' usually signifies in linguistics). It didn't have to be a case, and I didn't expect it to be, but I hoped it might be something that was a case in some obscure language. Question: define, in your own w...

For a conlang, I'm trying to find a way of saying the "bringer of," i.e. a suffix to add to a word, for example, death, because that's jolly, to turn it into "bringer of death". I don't want to add the entire word "bringer" onto the end, as I plan on using this mostly f...

Okay, I've come to the conclusion that I was tired when I wrote that message, because it now looks incredibly obvious to me. It's even in the title, and yet I managed to miss it.

And "m/v" means "m or v".

Your basic consonant glyphs remind me of the numerical glyphs from the game Fez.


How is this written? It doesn't look as if it was made with a pen. And m/v look as if they could be a bit hard to distinguish.

Phoneme inventory looks OK; it's a pretty standard type of inventory although the large number of fricatives makes it look very European-ish which you may or may not want. That's fine. Some of the "sound alternations" look a bit odd, esp. U>W/_O, R>F/_F, H>O/R_ and F>A/_D which don't stri...

Well, a couple nights ago, I dreamt I was exploring a cave with a group of people. We'd been fighting off some creatures that vaguely reminded me of Aliens (Aliens as in from the Alien films, not just any random aliens). I went up to the surface for a reason I don't completely recall, and went to mo...

Time for random. I'm in a museum with my dad, but I get bored and walk off. I apparently went somewhere I shouldn't have, because a lion was sent after me by the police. After fighting it off with my bare hands (like a baws), I hit some random people with a shelf. At this point, the dream becomes 3r...

tl;dr /x/ does not equal the English X

/k/ and /x/?

What's the distinction between C and K?

I was told of writing systems.

Without context, this statement is amazing.
Anyway, I conlang because I find English dull, and I decided to do something creative to say 'English, you suck'.

Crossbox (as I believe it's pronounced, though they spell it with an X. Kids these days, with their silly leet speak) O_o Can't decide if this is a joke... and if it isn't, I'm uncertain if I'm pronouncing it correctly now. / ɛks bɑks / It's a joke, don't worry. But start calling it Crossbox, it's ...

Hello! I'm lolbot720, and I am not very funny, I'm not a robot, and there's only one of me. I have a misleading name. I will mostly be silently lurking stalking , but occasionally I'll post something conlangish, and I'll probably post quite a bit during that time. So, you'll be seeing me round, hope...
