Re: Kalennian translation exercises

As of now I just use it to vent my thoughts and feelings; its flexible vocabulary and overall grammar is very useful for me when I want to say something...

Re: Kalennian translation exercises

Hi Cammzy !
They say may be Basque people is American people who settled in Europe a long ago so I think Kalennian is the Atlantis language.

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

How does nasalization affect the place of vowels? I tried looking at Wikipedia, but all I got was this confusing paragraph: Nasalization as a result of the assimilation of a nasal consonant tends to cause a raising of vowel height; phonemically distinctive nasalization tends to lower the vowel. Acc...

Two halves of Saytal were separated by huge mountain chain and non-human half was defended by non-humans. Were because this conworld is scrapped for ever and I will never revive it.

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

How naturalistic is a scenario where a language would only palatalize a subset of consonants at a specific POA? For example, in a language I’m working on evolving diachronically, I want to only palatalize /ŋ k/ but not /g/. Is possible enough for to be use stop voiced to be treated in different way...

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

I propose a highly head-marking language, with polypersonal agreement. The subject marker would mark person, number, & at least 5 noun classes, while the object marker would mark person & number. Of course, feel free to tone it down if this seems like too much. In this case, the mark on the...
