Re: Sorlóge: Lesser Dragonese [8.0 WIP]
Verbs and The Copula: This'd be WORLDS easier if I could straight-up copy my charts... I feel this is the most distinguishing feature of the language: its copula. D “be/do” While some languages have no copula, this one is super-liberal with its usage. Every action AND every description must go thro...

Re: Sorlóge: Lesser Dragonese [8.0 WIP]
Nouns There is no gender or plural. Instead noun declension is about definitiveness and, by extension, physical placement relative to the conversation. By default, the “dictionary definitions” are all the coda-less indefinite, which is used when position or number is irrelevant or impossible, or wh...

Re: Sorlóge: Lesser Dragonese [8.0 WIP]
History Lesson: This language is artificial to its core: a conlang even within the world I created alongside it. A world of civilized, talking animals (NOT anthropomorphic—I envisioned an action-heavy fantasy, not Zootopia ). In-universe the language was discovered in prehistoric ruins built all ov...

Re: What kind of conlanger are you?
Someone asked if I was filler, but I'd say I'm perfectionist.
Yes I have other projects in development (and concepts for a dozen more cultures and langs), but my main, and for a long time only, project is entering its third year and seventh overhaul because it doesn't feel good enough.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Dragonese Numbers. Or rather, lack of. No, that' s not right either. It's an Alphabetic numeral system that skips one specific consonant letter. AND it's over base-10 A dragon's claw has 4 fingers/talons/whatever you call it, but "B-ćó" (one-claw) is 20. B-ca (one-village) is 400. And I ne...
