Last night I had a dream that was like a really funny TV show. At one point there was a joke that called for a pop culture reference, except no appropriate reference existed, so my brain invented an actress named Temple Pia just for the joke. Not only that, but it gave her enough of a backstory that...

Obviouly, it's the anthem for modern Russia. Do you have a version for communist Russia? En õu jo tehnüd nõustosõj...

I'm playing with a Finnic language spoken in a few towns and rural areas in Leningrad, Novgorod, and Vologda Oblasts. (It's actually just Finnish with a dozen or so regular sound changes, a bit of semantic drift here and there, and a few Russian loan words.) Here's the Russian national anthem with l...

Next: (political) party, or faction or tendency or whatever your political system has

Next : deism (belief in god as a creator who doesn't intervene anymore in the universe) The Icastrians are polytheists, and their creator deity is a non-interventionist watchmaker type god. Consequently, they'd probably just lump deism in with monotheism, jokizhartorva [ˈjokˌɪzarˌtɔrva] or [ˈjokˌɪh...

In a rare attempt at visual art, I designed a simple logo for Icastria's public broadcaster, IRT (Ikaistari rádio ais televísi). https://sites.google.com/site/lane331/irt-logo.png When the logo shows up on TV, in bumpers or when introducing original programming or whatever, the pinwheels spin in opp...

Next: shark Icastrian has a few words for shark. The general and scientific word is horaig [ˈhɔɾajj]. Another is förtenano [ˈfœr̥tʃəˌnano], literally "sea-bear." This term is mostly used in coastal areas where fishing and whaling are primary economic activities, as sharks are minor sacred animals i...

Turo is mostly inspired by Finnish and Greenlandic, though the former seems to come through more than the latter. I'm weighing the pros and cons of adding /q/.

Or maybe some kind of labyrinth.

I only remember the last couple of seconds from my dream last night. It was one of those dreams where I'm an omniscient observer rather than an active participant. I was watching a scene in a diner or IHOP type restaurant. There was a booth full of people dressed as zombie Yankees fans, and there wa...

Next word: city hall or similar building I haven't worked out the Turo system of government yet (weird, because that's usually like the first thing I do), but I have some words: geljatere "administrative building" (gelja "council" + tere "house") oajegeljatere "government house, parliament building...

Maybe it's because I spend so much time watching movies, but lately I've been having these long, vivid dreams that feel like movies, complete with compelling plots and coherent narrative structures. Last night's dream was probably my best yet. I'm actually kind of proud of my subconscious for coming...

I'm playing with an abugida for my conlang Turo. I've never done a conscript before, and it's kind of fun - I wasn't originally intending to actually do anything with it, but I think I might keep it. This is a fact sheet about South Africa. It's mostly just names, not really interesting enough to tr...

Islaja - Pimeyttä kohti
(whence my sig)

I'm watching a Danish political drama called Borgen , kind of a Scandinavian "West Wing." I'm watching it on SVTplay, subtitled in Swedish, because Danish to me just sounds like somebody's playing a mean joke on the speech perception part of my brain. The show is pretty awesome, and I'd like to see ...

I can do an alveolar trill but not a uvular trill. It's weird because my sister can do a uvular trill but not an alveolar trill.
