I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but I am reminded of JBR's Pleistocenese conlang where in some grammatical areas he actually made it more complicated, since as he argued, early human language may have been less streamlined and harder to learn than we'd expect. As an early human language, it may h...

Il a aussi conclus qu'il n'existe pas de cuisine belge, ce qui me confond un peu. They also reached the conclusion that there is no such thing as Belgian cuisine, which confuses me a bit. ¿Como ocurre eso? Los belgas son bien conocidos por su gofres y su chocolate y su... ¿guisos de pescado? *mira ...

Voy a ir a casa después de estar en la ciudad para el fin de semana.

No tengo muchos problemas con estudiar en casa (? ¿existe una palabra para 'homeschooling'? ) I don't have a lot of problems with being homeschooled «Educado/a en casa» parece ser la frase habitual. “在家自学”好像是常用语。 "Zài jiā zìxué" hǎoxiáng shì chángyòng yǔ. "Educated at home" seem...

La escuela ha comenzar, así que estoy en una clase de español otra vez. School has begun, so I'm in a Spanish class again. Olvidé mucho... I've forgotten a lot...

Chagen appears more often on the CBB Discord if you're still interested in getting in contact. I don't think they have many conlang projects they're still working on other than Pazmat though.

Are you conlangs have /ɣ/ as a rhotic sound? Many natlang have, but only a few conlangs do it. What is a "rhotic" anyway? In my idiolect of German, I have the following changes: r > ɣ in onsets, and r > a̯ in codas (and I am planning to have this change in a conlang, too). But is /ɣ/ a &q...

Astrology (i.e. sun signs) did no better than chance. Pff, I never like when academics limit astrology to just being about sun/star signs (but to be fair, that's what a lot of pop astrology is too). I didn't think there was much to astrology, and to be honest I felt my sun sign had nothing to do wi...

I was thinking a lot of languages have really interesting idioms and phrases used to encourage and lift up people, and decided I should make a thread for it and figure out some for Yorkish. I'll make three categories (of course, with overlap) and give some English examples as inspiration: Congratula...

"Inu ni nee, alright," Demi says, poking her tongue out in turn. "Do you know what time they open? Ooh, how do you say that in Amarin, and 'What time is it?'"

Demi blushes, "Oh, right! 'Mapasa'." She opens her book again to look back through her notes for a few seconds before she remembers herself. "Pleased to meet you all," she says and looks to Uminata, "Uhh, did I hear something about food earlier? How do you say 'I'm hungry', ...

"Hi! Sorry I'm late!" Demi rushes in with an Amarin handbook and pen held tightly in her hand. From the flapping pages briefly visible, you can see they are covered in notes. "Sorry!" she says with a sheepish grin, "I was busy admiring the city. Paśkekamini inu tu inutamaa, ...

Demi smiles at the sight and twirls a finger in her hair as she thinks about how to answer. "So it would be... Látumai? Uzayíka Demi Faylynn."

She frowns and says, "Is that right? I don't think I got the accent right."
