More info on Munkhâshi!

Questions or discussions about Almea or Verduria-- also the Incatena. Also good for postings in Almean languages.

More info on Munkhâshi!

Post by dhok »

I looked on Almeopedia, and it looks absolutely fascinating. Does that mean it's coming at any point within, oh, the next five years?

that depends - are you sponsoring research into the language?
MadBrain is a genius.

A very typical Eralean phonemic inventory, but the usage of consonant mutations is fascinating.

I like the look of this... :D

Do I detect a WH40K reference in the example? Or is the thing that I think it's referencing itself a reference to something else?

It bugs me to have major nations with proper names that mean nothing... and despite the LCK's advice I'm not very good at stopping at a naming language. :)

It's hard to stop though. Munkhâshi is relatively standalone, and I can work out Dhekhnami names from it... but Dhekhnami itself will probably need a lot more work done on Sarroc.

And then there's Naviu... argh.

No wonder so many s.f. writers have monocultures.

Sometimes when I am caught with an Almean grammar I'm asked why I don't create one of my own. At one time I would respond by saying "You don't understand, this is ART. It took 30 years for this language to emerge. I couldn't create a language like this no more than I could create a Shakespearean sonnet". Now, however, I usually smile and then kick them in the balls.

What's wrong with Naviu?
