Xurnash, when will it be uploaded
Xurnash sounds pretty cool, when do we get to find out more about it?

You make it sound as if Zompist conlangs purely for our benefit ... I imagine (and I may be wrong) that the real reason he does it is because he gets some enjoyment out of it ...
I'm sure he'll get around to it at some time, when he feels like it. Don't rush him though. He's only going to start messing things up if you keep bombarding him with "Is it nearly done yet?"
Plus, people like to enjoy things at their own rate.

And also:Why don't you study all those other languages he's created? I'm sure you can't be THAT fixated on Xurnash...Curlyjimsam wrote:You make it sound as if Zompist conlangs purely for our benefit ...

And of course, unlike a great many of us, Zomp has a full-time job and a family, not to mention numerous other interests besides conlanging.
In any case, the Almean languages grammars are so detailed and thorough (and becoming more so) that they are generally worth the wait.

Because I've studied them all. Xurnash seems pretty cool, so I'm wondering when it will come out. Will it be the next to come out, or will it be three years down the road?krinnen wrote:And also:Why don't you study all those other languages he's created?

It's often hard to tell what ordering Almean projects will have past the one that's nearest completion. As a hobby, they don't have a huge degree of planned sequence. Elkar?l, for example, got completed essentially as a sidetrack from the Count of Years. (I think a similar thing applies to Flaidish, too, though I really don't know). Similarly, Old Skourene came about when Zomp expanded the vocabulary of Axunashin.linguofreak wrote:Because I've studied them all. Xurnash seems pretty cool, so I'm wondering when it will come out.

I suppose a good estimate is that Xurn?sh is close (closer than some other language projects, for example, since it is my understanding that components of the Xurn?sh grammar and lexicon already exist), but then again, Zomp may want to complete materials on Endaju? first, or take up another project (like maybe a list of Cadhinorian Emperors, or of s?pa-manufacturers) . My prediction, FWIW, is that we won't see an Xurn?sh grammar until more stuff on Endaju? exists, either online or not.

I'd imagine that Xurnash is rather like Axunashin with a simplified noun and verb conjugation system. (To what degree, of course, I have no idea.)
As an aside: I still don't really know how to pronounce "Xurno"... I want to pronounce the X as /S/ but I'm not sure that's right (I do know "Axunashin" = "Aks(h)unashin")

The x in Xurno/Xurnásh is a /z/. I'm also eager to see exactly how it's developed from Axunashin...I think Mark said somewhere that it had lost all the noun cases. Just to idly speculate, he might focus on how the syntax works in a more analytical grammar (though only about as analytical as Spanish, maybe)...he's been doing a lot with syntax of late.BGMan wrote:As an aside: I still don't really know how to pronounce "Xurno"...

That one's easy to answer, at least: the Sha languages of the Koranax are written in a derivation of the Xurnese syllabary (they didn't bother with the logograms); the Chia languages of Luduyn are written in Gurdagor script; and Tei is written in Jippirasti script.Serali wrote:Me too.

What does the Gurdagor script look like?

Eh eh... like Serbo-Croat, which is written in the Cyrillic alphabet in Serbia and in the Latin alphabet in Serbia, and which (presumably in Muslim Bosnia) was even written in the Arabic alphabet during the Turkish domination.zompist wrote:That one's easy to answer, at least: the Sha languages of the Koranax are written in a derivation of the Xurnese syllabary (they didn't bother with the logograms); the Chia languages of Luduyn are written in Gurdagor script; and Tei is written in Jippirasti script.

Do you mean Latin in Croatia (you have serbia twice)?Legros wrote:Eh eh... like Serbo-Croat, which is written in the Cyrillic alphabet in Serbia and in the Latin alphabet in Serbia, and which (presumably in Muslim Bosnia) was even written in the Arabic alphabet during the Turkish domination.zompist wrote:That one's easy to answer, at least: the Sha languages of the Koranax are written in a derivation of the Xurnese syllabary (they didn't bother with the logograms); the Chia languages of Luduyn are written in Gurdagor script; and Tei is written in Jippirasti script.
