Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread

A group of us from 人造語言迷 Conlinguaphiles are making a separate branch out of PIE. Are these rules too complicated for ProtoX which is on par with Proto-Italic, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Celtic? And are these rules plausible? PIE/ProtoX/Environment k/g/V_V kʷ/ɡ͡b/V_V ḱ/gʲ/V_V ḱ/s/_E gʲ/z/_E k/q/#_O k/k/#...

Re: Rangyayo (now with vocabulary learning course on Memrise

This is an awesome language! The verbal morphology seems like a simplification of English. Overall, the native words look like someone took a Swahili-esque language generator and mangled it until it looked like Mandarin and Korean had a lovechild which was adopted by Japanese. :-D Are there any bor...

Re: Rangyayo (now with vocabulary learning course on Memrise

Desmond, I know this is such a horribly late reply; I just want to thank you so much for creating that memrise course! My birthday was on the same day you posted the last post, and so you could not have given me a better gift! Over the last year I have been absolutely obsessed with Rangyayo, creati...

According to this outlined recent history I've come up with for the Kingdom of Rangya, In 1544, both Taiwan and Rangya were discovered by Portugal. Portugal, and later Spain and Dutch were allowed to set up trading posts in Rangya. Western settlements in Rangya helped keep early Japanese invasion aw...

Re: Rangyayo (now with info about Rangya & samples on Youtub

I've just discovered a few days ago that a native Korean conlanger commented on the phonetic values of Rangyayo Yenmun (Hangul) in September. I was a bit excited and thrilled to see how a native Hangul user would react when they see Rangyayo sentences written in mixed script of Hanji and Yenmun (Han...

This is a fantastic conlang! A lot of culture and historical background, along with a very cool script! Makes me want to do the exact same thing, but then I would know it was just a cheap ripoff and it definitely wouldn't be done nearly as well. Do you have any lessons up for it? Feel free to devel...

Re: Rangyayo (now with info about Rangya & samples on Youtub

Counter words In Rangyan, counter words can be used along with numbers to count things, actions, and events. Unlike Japanese, Korean and Chinese, Rangyan numerals, if possible, can quantify nouns without counter words. Therefore to express the idea "two birds" in Rangyan one can either say pu ik tu...

Re: Rangyayo (now with info about Rangya & samples on Youtub

Sound symbolic words Sound symbolic words or mimetic words occur more often in Rangyan than in English. They are found in formal as well as vernacular language. These words cannot all be considered onomatopoeia. Many mimetic words in Rangyan are for things that do not make any noise originally. Mim...

Yes Desmond the first solution is the best I must also say.
