Re: Proto-Lothopota

As for the language itself , I'm curious whether it's based on real world languages and to what degree. Especially "-a is feminine and -o is masculine" couln't be a coincidence, right? Also, do all infinitives end in -n like in German, or just the ones you showed us? I did include some si...

Proto-Lothopota

Hello! This is the the current progress on my Proto Language, Lothopota, that I'm putting up for criticism - as always. Enjoy your reading! Phonology: /p b t d k g/ <p b t d k g> /m n/ <m n> /f θ s z h/ <f th s z h> /l j/ <l j> /a e i o u/ <a e i o u> /a: e: i: o: u:/ <aa ee ii oo uu> I am aware tha...

Proto-Waishu

Hello! This version of my new conlang is rather early, but it has most of its core mechanics in place, and is at a fairly usable state, so I am putting it up for review, and criticism is always appreciated. Phonology: /p b t d k g/ <p b t d k g> /m n ɲ/ <m n nj> /f s ʃ x/ <f s sh x> /l j w/ <l j w> ...

Re: Phonology choice

Overall it's a nice, simple SAE kind of phonology but there's a couple of orthography questions I have: 1. why <v> for /f/ when you haven't even used <f>? 2. why <x> for /x/ when you haven't even used <h>? 3. why is your uvular trill <r> grouped with the nasals? 4. is your schwa actually phonemic? ...

Phonology choice

Hello! You may have seen my previous post about my phonology, which I posted a couple weeks ago and found an answer to. Well, school got in the way of conlanging for a bit and I was super busy during that time, and looking back, the phonology did not look the way I wanted it to, and the language I w...

Re: Agglutination/Proto Language

This clarification helped a lot. It was very confusing initially, so thanks for clearing that up!

Can't thank you enough for your help! [xD]

Re: Agglutination/Proto Language

Gee, seems like it is always you answering all my questions. [O.O] On the topic of your answer, I have a few questions. Language A: non-derived roots (coming from adjectives in the proto-language), "fossilised" deverbal adjectives (derived from verbs in the proto-language, but that method ...

Agglutination/Proto Language

Guten Abend! I have a question regarding agglutination in synthetic and polysynthetic languages, and another regarding parts of speech in a proto-lang. My current system of agglutination involves starting with a subject pronoun or object, and the gluing on words and affixes. For instance: Kofemensen...

Phonology Choice

Hello! It's me again! >:) So I am working on a new conlang, which I want to be another "practice" conlang, so I am going to try some different things. Naltal (my first one) was, as expected, quite bad, but I feel like it helped a lot in terms of the process. My questions is this: Is there ...

Re: Naltal

I am going to use a numbered list to answer because I have no idea how to quote specific parts of your text. [xP] 1. Verb roots, adjectives, conjunctions, and adverbs CAN NOT end with a vowel. "Conjugated" verbs (after tense and aspect suffixes apply), nouns, place markers, and preposition...

Naltal

Hello and welcome to my first conlang page (yaaay)! Although the language is not completely polished yet, I feel like getting feedback would be a thing you should do, so I have decided to post a significant piece for criticism, here we go I guess! [:D] Naltal's phonology is as follows: Consonants: /...
