Re: The CBB Makes a Conworld

Can we make the same culture for the CBBlang and the CBBworld? That might be a good idea, but I’m afraid that might elevate one conculture as the “main conculture”, as opposed to having them be on equal footing. But only a problem assuming that everyone will be working on a different conculture wit...

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

Nobody proposed anything, so I propose medieval culture. I proposed something. Can you speak more clearly? I thought "Nerds" as "You're nerds", not "Let's choose a nerd culture for CBBlang". What about renaissance or age of discovery? I feel like there’s a lot of inter...

Conworld Crysis

I have a conworld crysis. I scrapped the idea that Arkasians live on island filled with predators, because I no longer want them to be isolated. Generally I realized that I need a low fantasy/historical conworld in which I'll put most of my artlangs. I decided to summarize (almost) every artlang tha...

Re: Shemtov's scratchpad so he doesn't clutter the Forum

Thoughts? Presence of both /b/ and /ɓ/ and having /f/ without velar fricative(s) seem a little bit unnaturalistic to me (especially the former) For whatever it's worth, according to Wikipedia, Fula , Goemai , Mono , and Paumarí appear to lack phonemic velar fricatives while also distinguishing /b ɓ...

Re: Cool features you scrapped

My cool but scrapped feature was that Arkasian had three high front vowels: long /i:/, palatalized /j/ (syllabic) and centralized /i’/ (I try to make umlaut in ascii). I maked centralized vowels central and turned /j/ into /i/, removing cool distinction but making my conlang more naturalistic.

Re: Wug Nlab - a horrible derivative conlang

It was terrible because I couldn't come up with a better highly mathematical/ logical system of grammar , and I broke my brain over it [:3] (I might be misusing the term loglang here, AFAIK it has to have a logical system of grammar) You can base your conlang on lambda calculus, with a few predefin...

Thoughts? Presence of both /b/ and /ɓ/ and having /f/ without velar fricative(s) seem a little bit unnaturalistic to me (especially the former), but the rest is ok. I especially like /ɴ̩/. What with an ortography? Conlangers usually incorporate romanizations into thier phonetic inventories. SuSegon...

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

What conculture will speak our conlang? Cavemen? Medieval culture? Steampunk? Modern-time? Futuristic? Or something else?

(It's extremely crucial because word classes and a whole lexicon will depend on it.)

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

It doesn’t seem like we decided whether it should be synthetic or analytic. I find synthetic cool I always imagined CBBlang as extremally analytic and fusional, but synthesis is also ok. Another proposal: The words for “and” and “or” should default to /ma/ and /ɢa/ but should harmonize in some way ...

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

I suggest an analytic but very fusional language, with lots of roots differing only with inflectional things (number, gender/class, tense, agreement etc). What do you mean exactly? Can you give examples? For example, horse in nominative singular can be "evehe nu" HORSE.NOM NOM.ANI.SG and ...
