The CBB Makes a conlang

[VaptuantaDoi]

give it austronesian alignment go on

[ɶʙ ɞʛ]

Another proposal:

The words for “and” and “or” should default to /ma/ and /ɢa/ but should harmonize in some way with what they’re grammatically tied to and sometimes reduce to prefixes or suffixes. Maybe some related conjunctions should also work this way.

Grammatical harmony? Wow let's really do this!

[HolyHandGrenade!]

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.

I also think it's a good idea, but how it will work?
It will affect only function words? Will it affect also grammatical endings? Or maybe different roots for different categories will be a common thing?
And what "categories" will be in CBBlang? Based on gender/class? Number? Deixis/person? Or something else?

[HolyHandGrenade!]

I think lots of noun classes would be fun

[TBPO]

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.)

Nerds

[TBPO]

Nobody proposed anything, so I propose medieval culture.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

What about renaissance or age of discovery? I feel like there’s a lot of interesting things you can do with that.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Of course, whatever we pick obviously won’t be the sole setting.

Can you speak more clearly? I thought "Nerds" as "You're nerds", not "Let's choose a nerd culture for CBBlang".

I have no idea how to do it. I don't know well any epoch between Middle Ages and industrial age.

When you mention a nerd culture, My first thought was the Greens from Red Rising.

If you simply have the conjunction as an affix, it can create something I quite like where you have to wait until the end of the list to get the case of the noun. e.g: cat.and mouse.and dog.ERG see cheese.

I actually forgot when I made these posts that this was the “CBB makes a conlang” thread and not the “CBB makes a conworld” thread.

sorry

[TBPO]

Can we make fantasy conlang?

That sounds fun.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

I think the language should be head marking, with verb agreement but no case marking
