Earthenware being in the ergative is pretty interesting. What's the reason for it?
because its being used here in a genitive/partitive sense, a "pot (made) of earthenware"

kropši /'kropʃi/ v "make, build, shape"
And now an example sentence

Gandriga desne łipjesor kropši
gandriga-Ø des-ne łipjes-or kropši
Gandrig-NOM pot-ACC earthenware-ERG build

"Gandrig makes a clay pot"

Re: Lexember 2023

For this month i will be using an as of yet unnamed proto-language for my Project K language, similar to Proto-Garnet which connected a bunch of previously unrelated old language stubs. *riðellemju /riðelˈlemju/ adv. "(in the) morninɡ" From the deverbal form of *ðelle- "rise, erect; g...

Re: Project K

Alright, so now I will delve more into nouns and adjectives. The two act very similarly so they are generally lumped together. In Proto-K, there are multiple levels of 'gender' working in tandem with each other. At the broadest level, there is an animacy distinction between animate and inanimate. Th...

which is unsurprising as it doesn't exist. Yes I realized this this morning. I had originally included ŋ but then removed it. In fact, I am taking this opportunity to change the phonology a little bit. This incoude the addition of /ŋ/, the deletion of /v ð z ɣ/ and /m n ŋ/ can all appear in coda po...

Thank you. My main inspirations for phonology are languages like Georgian and afrasian langs. Although when it comes to phonotactics it is much more European. So Armenian, I guess.

Project K

Hello everypony. It has been a while since I have made a post here, but I feel like making an official/public outline of this language will help aid its development. I have been working on this language on and off for a couple of years now, and language scraps similar to it for many years more. As a...

Re: Afrogbe

The words that used in my conlang are partially loan words from English, French and Arabic; maybe this like pidgin language. The sentence structure is SVO. So is this meant to actually be spoken in africa? If so all 3 of those languages make sense as sources. I would consider adding words from othe...

Re: Project Garnet Scratchpad

Okay, so I've made yet another update to the Proto-Garnet phonology. Please understand that I am attempting to reconcile the phonology of 3 very different languages phonologically speaking. As such, I have made a few decisions. I have reinstated the voicing distinction in sibilants. I don't know why...

Day 5 of quarantine not going well; I'm now reading arguments in an online forum dedicated to constructed languages and worlds about politics. I've run out of toilet paper.

Re: Project Garnet Scratchpad

Small update: I have gotten rid of the voicing distinction on sibilants, and will instead derive them with sound changes in Ugrandite languages. Also, I have gotten rid of the phonemic distinction between *q and *qʰ , they will instead be one phoneme written <q> whose exact pronunciation depends on ...

I've been piecemealing around, fiddling with outer language projects--I do that sometimes so I don't get burned out on this one, which despite how fun it is, can often become too much for me.

There will also be few verb classes based on a "thematic vowel" of sorts, akin to the -are/ere/ire system of Latin. Did you mean "be few verb classes" (emphasis on the paucity of such classes), or "be a few verb classes" (emphasis on the fact that, hey, there are some!...
