Re: One World Language
I brought this up because there are people, today, who are have no problem calling for a centralized world governing structure. And we should not kid ourselves, these individuals have the influence to buy up everything, both around and underneath us, with zero moral dilemma. We will even be convinc...

Re: Silicon-based life
Or perhaps (d) they have some radical biological difference from us directly relevant to the psychology and sociology of the species, such as no genders or three genders, which would result in a different conception of gender roles? Here is an excellently worked out fictional species (with only one...

Re: Silicon-based life
After I finish the kektas/homa/añak/azhwea/sochitl/mophmon bioswath, with its multitudinous animals and its black plants, the final step in my populating the planets of Lehola with species will be the albhikar bioswath, which has silicon-based life. For all the searching the Web for silicon-based l...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Kind of an "abstract" question, but... The more I look into Nostratic and Borean and whatnot, the more I realise that regardless of whether or not the proposed macrofamilies were ever actually real or not, at least in Eurasia there seem to be some vague and elusive-to-the-point-of-probabl...

Re: Lexicon-phonology relationship
I'm trying to create a conlang in which the lexical meaning of each word is somewhat encoded into the word's pronunciation. My goal would be that if two words sound alike, there is a high chance that they mean something similar; it should thus be possible to understand what a word means just by hea...

Re: What are you listening to/watching?
Listening to Relaxing Foggy Forest (Virtual Drive) / Rain Storm and Thunder Sounds. Unlike other rain videos, this one shows actual movement through the forest. Wonderful! I wish I were there, right in this weather.

This is wrong. And our world is the way it is because most normal people don't want to accept that NOT EVERYONE has emotions.

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
As I noted earlier, I would say - or at least write - " a round", not "round". Maybe this is the tone you're going for, but to me, "round" looks very informal, like the writer is trying to represent a spoken shortening of " a round". Although maybe this is ju...

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I don't think that's an accurate summation. If someone said "He showed her around in the ship" it would sound like a trafficking scheme of some sorts. That's how a non-native could interpret that sentences. Typically just "he showed her around the ship" means that she is being g...

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I agree. Although "shows her around in the ship" is also possible. But would probably mean something like "he showed her around [his collection of belleek] in the ship", rather than showing her the parts of the ship itself. I can also maybe imagine something like someone complai...

Re: (EE) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Leo gives "to show so. round" for German "jmdn. herumführen". Is it ok to write "He shows her round in the ship" or is it "He shows her round the ship"? I'd say " a round" and without "in", so "He shows her around the ship". I ag...

Re: Other Creativity
I've started to translate my story "Hexe Thekla und der Glücksdrache" (Witch Thekla and the dragon of fortune). This is actually a children's stroy, which is part of another book I write about LaTeX for authors. It's used there as an example story. I've not yet translated the titles. Even ...

Re: First Language [snake/reptile based]
Welcome here on the CBB! I'm working on a comic where the antagonists are lizard folk. Lizard folk can mean a lot, see e. g. Reptiloide in Perry Rhodan series . Check out the "Bekannte reptiloide Völker" (Known reptiloide people) part for how they look. Instead of just doing random squiggl...

Re: What's next?
I'm new to conlanging. I recently learned what is all about and I'm thrilled about making my first conlang. I already selected a phonology for my conlang, created a handful of root words and a fixed syllable structure. However, not having knowledge about linguistics, I have no idea about what is ne...
