NB: Edits have been made to this post since I originally made it. I've tried to bold the changes and strikeout old info. I want to dive a little into the Personal Pronouns and copular system in Nawi today. The pronouns in and of themselves will be pretty bland, but they way they interact and drive ...

I was probably looking too globally. I think the tone introduction into Chavakani was a big change too. But I do want to say I love your phonology despite you thinking it's boring. I think that it shows how a simple idea can show really fun sounding results, and I think with the addition of tone you...

This is coming together good, but I'm starting to feel psuedo-mimic shame. I've got a fair deal of notes for Nawi already that I'm typing out and honing as I go and slowly getting on here in that thread (I need to update). But I feel like Nawi and Chavakani almost fall into an accidental conlang spr...

It's really tempting to steal that pseudo-base five thing. I really really like that.

Romanization I wanted to do a post on Romanization today over lunch. I might get to a bit of grammar, but I want to focus on Latinizing this lang right now. I'm going to divulge a bit of personal thinking and preference, so it isn't a simple graph-phoneme mapping Common v.s. Lexicon Romanizations F...

I'm going to jump in cause this is pretty cool. The overall loss of syllables reminds me of Modern accents of Northern Greeks sort of where /i/ and /u/ will plop off at the end of words and for some in unstressed syllables and there's a bunch of /e/ -> and /o/ -> . Stress, IIRC, plays a big role in ...

I also like to lexicalise some other prototypically non-verbal concepts as verbs, e.g. kinship terms and numbers. This really caught my eye because I'm unfamiliar with this. Would you care to explain this a bit more fully possibly with examples from your conlang? I'm more interested in the numeric ...

On counters/measure words, I would say don't use them. You said in the first post that you want this approachable from a Western L1, and while I don't consider measure words to be a major hurdle to western L1ers, they are at best inconvenient. There are still several features from that area that you...

Having grown up in a Greek family, I find the commentary on our language and its oblivion quite entertaining. I wonder how much longer I have left until the abyss consumes me.

Looking in this thread, I feel like a bit of a thumb, but I'll go at this anyhow in the hopes I'll get some response that will inspire or criticisms that will push me to something interesting. I strongly prefer analytic languages over fusional or agglutinative ones. I don't like exactly hardlining t...

What should I do to join back up?

Also, I'm impressed my name from forever ago is still an archipelago.

Hi everybody, I've been a lurker on here with odd spurts of activity every so often. Not a very active member, but I like the reading. I'd post more often, but I've been in the midst of school, so that chomps my time away. I tend to stay more around one of the facebook communities, and my name here ...

Will be incorporateing one of those big ones into Sunha, to the point that I expect certain aspects of it do be completely eroded or oddly mutated. Now, this is probably the Greek in me speaking from the "despise your neighbors unless they are Cyprus" mindset, but Zwera is closer to Nolo than En Sok...

Got a 4. Nice. It feels like I got a few extra marshmallows in my lucky charms.

I thought this occurred in Spanish resulting words like "tilde" and the ilk.

Dang, I hate voting in things I've contributed to. It feels odd.

I definitely will give all these a read through and vote later on though.

So I'm going to get started here, and I'll do a compendium later on. I'll also describe the conlang later, but the names and usages here follow this. I'm in square N5r right now, and this is the indigenous belief of the Dragons who live in Nolo. NB - I use the word Earth here since I don't know what...

SWEEEEEEEEEEET

DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOONS AHOOOY

Taking over space and sea! You see that? No you didn't! But it was a dragon.

Question to you: Should I use one of the naming languages when making a religion for Nolo, or should I just make this up off the cuff? Trying to streamline as much as I can, and if I can work with stuff already in here and diversify, that would be fun. I already have an idea for the basic rubrics of...

When and how do we scoop more squares up? I'd like to give a noble reason for my asking, but really I'm just gonna gun for more beachfront property. And I'm dosorganized.

Thanks kindly! We're going to try to organize ourselves such that we can hopefully update the KneeQuickee too. I noticed the Greek was a bit light, and as a Greek, I wanted to get it. I've got some stuff on Kypriot Greek too, so, once the semester is over, I'll try to put all that fun stuff here. On...

Quick Question on this thread.

Some folks I know who aren't part of the boards really appreciate the Index. They also noticed that it is under a creative commons license. We were wondering where we might be able to get the .tex file so that we could play around with it.

Thanks.

What did I break and there by make a race of Dragon Helots?
