Con-Programming Languages
Ever considered creating computer programming languages for your conworld? Did you create ancestor programming language and dominant paradigms as a base for programming languages currently used in your conworld? What about the keyboard layout in your conworld? Here is my ultra-ugly legacy programmin...

Conphysics and Calling a Rabbit Smeerp
If a conworld has made-up physics and chemistry, should we make up words for these concepts, or should we borrow terms from real-life science? Here are some examples: Conphysics: 1. The particles transferred when a chemical reaction took place are small charged particles. They should be called elect...

Human homeworld called Earth but with fictional geography
In the settings of some science fiction anime and JRPGs, the setting is called Earth with humans living in there but the geography is completely rewritten. Some examples are: - Dragon Ball (all cultures in the east, and west (West City, cowboys) are mashed together) - Pokemon (the regions. The cultu...

Re: Rangyayo (now with 2 audio samples on Youtube!)
After reading the word list, I found there are no words with dz.
Overall, Rangyayo made sense to me in the shortest period of time, and it's simple enough to introduce people to Japanese and Korean.

Re: Post your conlang's phonology
Rng'-Tera phonology, I'm satisfied by the current tweaking. http://i39.tinypic.com/28lc74n.png and palatalization rules http://vvcap.net/db/2znUCRjLoqGJtWYSxS_O.png Syllable structure: SCCGVGCCC, there are many constraints, so the following English words do not conform Rng'-Tera phonotactics: - bag ...

Re: Rangyayo (now with 2 audio samples on Youtube!)
I found the Sino-Rangyan number system is somewhat broken, 1 (it) sounds like 2 (i), and 8 (pa) sounds like 100 (pak). In Chinese, even rhyming numbers 1 (yi1) and 7 (qi1) are forced to be distinguished (yi1 -> yao1) when reading telephone numbers. Also, the romanization is confusing: - cha [tsʰa], ...

I found Chrome's Inspect Elements works very well.I'm looking forward to seeing Google / Facebook in other conlang versions hehe...
Facebook in Rng'-Tera, I forgot vowel harmony on all of the sentences and I have no gloss.

Re: What's your favorite thing about your conlang?
Rng'-Tera: Russian consonants (sts, shch), and Korean vowels. I liked the functor grammar, it makes it stack-based in some ways, and also largely simplifies the grammar. Also, the case and affiliation system, which takes time to explain because they are driven by alien brains. The bad things are, I'...

Math in Conworlds
How do the people in your conworld perform mathematical operations (+, -, *, /, square root) on paper? Do they use a different layout for long divisions, or do they even completely new methods. What estimation methods are there? What is the value of pi? (some use 6.282... ) see also: http://en.wikip...

Re: Post your conlang's phonology
For a sketch language
5 tones: ˨ ˦ ˩˥ ˥˩ ˧˦˧
A fun way to max out a phonology without the uvular and ejective consonants.
yes, I've tried to pronounce them

Re: Conlangs With Non Human Phonology
I've experimented with write-only languages, including a maze orthography and a circuit orthography, but they are in sketch phases.
I also attempted a language in flash signals, but in the end, almost all phonologies can be re-designed into a human phonology
