Arka: an a priori conlang with 14,000 words from Japan

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I'm not meaning to offend you, but you're only ever posting in this thread to announce things you've added to your English pages. The ZBB isn't strictly a thing like Twitter or Facebook, where people sometimes post links when their blogs etc. have been updated. I'm wondering, have you ever looked at discussions, e.g. in L&L and C&C outside of this thread?

This is really interesting. There don't seem to be many conlangs made by people who natively speak non-European languages.

Could also be that those people just don't participate in English-speaking fora as much, so we just don't notice their work.

I've been meaning to proofread some of this for you, but I got a bit overwhelmed ;)

It is, however, very difficult and tiresome to create whole vocabulary from scratch, so most of the conlangs have a posteriori or small a priori vocabulary.

(we use these terms, but the "a" of "a priori" looks like the indefinite article, it's confusing).
Some conlangs have large a priori vocabulary but most of them tend to be lack of etymology of words backed up by their conworld or conculture and to be an engelang like John Wilkins' Real Character.

Therefore Arka is rare for the point that it has large a priori vocabulary (more than 15,000 words) based on its conworld (Kaldia) and conculture.
