Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I'm late and you plan is still great. So, I'm sorry if this is a bother.

I'd just roll a dice. I actually designed a conlang or two that way before.

Re: Other Creativity

Quite the work. I look forwards to seeing it chime! Here's Mike! He's a character I made for a friend, but he let me keep him. (I have other pictures of him, and his friend Charles. Charles is also mine now.) https://i.imgur.com/c77LyFw.jpg I kind of need to relearn how to draw. But he's still cute ...

Re: Anybody else working on conlangs with non-human phonologies?

Truthfully, the most valuable thing to me was just seeing a crow phonology. I can kind of make one on my own, but at the same time, it was much better to see someone else's work, since they'd find things I'd miss. There was this book I saw at a thrift store yesterday about synthesizing speech. Exact...

Re: The Great Exposition of Ruykkarraber

I thought see was fundamentally transitive - as in, the word implies something is being seen? Halkomelem treats it that way too.

A conscript for Vietnamese

https://www.reddit.com/r/linguisticshum ... ng_system/

I think this acting as an example has potential for ideas in conscripts in general.
If there's a more worthy thread for it, please let me know.

Re: Vision's Archive

Let’s now make some more complex sentences. Firstly, since the main thing is that the phrase be OV, the subject can be displaced. (So, OVS) Kás’kuja Bi’ Teira Naka Gē Home-ObjC.sg Go Hyena-SuT.pl Went home did the hyenas. Now, I don’t know what exact syntax rules I had in mind here long ago, but her...

Re: Commonthroat: a language that only a dog could probably pronounce

You know, the diminutive can get lexicalized. I learnt a while ago those fuzzy hats are called Shtraimlach (sg. Shtraimel) in Yiddish, which is in the diminutive by default. (I have absolutely no idea what the etymology is, though.)

So the liturgical language was basically whoever controlled that place?
Did they have archaic forms that kept getting used (like Latin)?

Re: Whale Linguistics

A Salmoneus Aklaykum. Alaykum A Salmoneam.

I would only shorten it in the context of the names already being known. But for me, this would be a great time to conculture rules about who you tell your name to.
