Proto-Nggwoo Cwēli [çʷø˥ʟi˩] Proto-Nggwoo was the main language spoken by the Nggwoó around the year 4000 in Kwhukhu, based on the various descendents of this language. The language seems to have been known as Cwēli (the Tongue) to the Nggwoó, however this name in uncertain, and may have been a term...

Mecongai tetteposheo [tɛˈt’ɛ.po.ʃø] Cwēli tethēposwe [c̟e˩c̟'e˥po˩ʃʷe˩]

(Batti can't pronounce alveolars)

I've been busy recently, so I'll probably just work on the Nggwoo and let the ice golems stagnate for awhile.

The planet already gets more sunlight than the Earth, it can have more of a greenhouse effect as well.

T'ukwu: N12r
Nggwoó: I3

I'm assuming that, at least for now, everyone's still working with the cultures that they created originally?

1: Dragolm
2: Ccuxu
3: Ďomün
4: Mecongai
5: Ngoor

Yay, speed conworlding! About half of this was made while waiting for a pizza delivery... The T'ukwu [t'u.kwu] are a race of golems that live on the northern polar continent. They primarily live in the mountains, but have spread onto the icecap itself in recent times. History: It is unknown just how...

Nydwracu was just temp-banned; that's over now. People can still create cultures after the deadline; they'll just arise after the year 2500. (No idea what happened in Year 1... that could be a perk of the vote winner to decide!) To be fair, not every culture submitted has made a major leap toward c...

The Nggwoó [ᵑgʷoː˩˥] are a Batti culture located in the northern parts of (insert name of Lyra's main continental mass here). The name nggwoó means people in Proto-Nggwoo, however there is no evidence that this name was used for themselves, due to the lack of writing in the culture. History: The Ngg...

They/them/their. Problem solved.

Or Myonian "shi" or Zukish "hïn" or Ancaron "et"...

When I made the climate map, I assumed that there's 1.5 extra squares at the top and bottom that aren't shown. That would reduce the pinching somewhat.

I think I'll go with N12 with golems for a second culture now that there's more time.

Yay, consonant mess!

I want to make a semi-nomadic culture on the steppe and desert region in P5/6 and I'm just trying to work out the temperatures. It seems to be in the middle of the temperate zone, but it is right near the ocean. Can anyone tell me if the ocean would more likely be carrying warmer currents from the ...

Here's the basic visibility values I got: one is magnitude -2.848 at max elongation. two is magnitude -4.648 at max elongation. three is magnitude -4.948 at max elongation. five is magnitude -2.8 at opposition. six is magnitude -0.4 at opposition. seven is magnitude 0.6 at opposition. eight is magni...

Why have such a dense atmosphere, though? Is it a natural consequence of having a bigger planet? Somewhat, though it could be reduced somewhat, say 1.2 atmospheres if the planet has 1.2 times the gravity, that way flight should be roughly as easy on Earth, and the other consequences of a denser atm...

- wind resistance will be higher. Things will be slower, both airborne and on the ground - everything other than flying will be harder. Things will have to move around less, or sleep longer, or else eat a lot more food. Herbivores can't really do much on the eating more food front, so they'll tend ...

Well, aside from the various false friends, like gurl (boy, male) and liech (doctor)... False? English leech is an archaic word for 'physician'. I know that, but I've never heard of it used as such in modern English, and is the average person going to know that it used to mean that? Differing seman...

Remember, all of the people here presumably evolved or were created here, so would be used to it. Also, a denser atmosphere won't impede movement noticeably, except at higher speeds, which will only really come into play after cars and planes and stuff are invented. As for combining the solar system...

Finlay's planet #1 will almost certainly be tidally locked in some form, which means it can't rotate backwards. (Unless it goes around the star backwards...) Also, a less dense planet, even if it does have plenty of metals at the surface, will likely have a reduced magnetic field. My idea for the sy...

Something like this? (This is from an older collab conworld, not this one.) Some of the details like day length won't be as important though at this point in time. (except for the CCCP, and maybe its moon(s).) Maybe just orbital radius/year length, size, and basic description. P I: Orbital radius: 0...

We could also just have multiple people come up with ideas for the solar system and then vote on them, like what we're doing with everything else. Though in this case, only the winner's will get used, as combining multiple solar systems would just make a mess.

Should we just assume a single Moon-like moon for when dealing with spiritual beliefs? (And how about the sun and other, visible with the naked eye, planets)?
