Collaborative Conworld

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.

Perhaps you could derive the language name from their word for 'sea'?

On another note, you can add pages on the various geographical formations where your people are located.

Also, what should the time system be for entering years into the wiki entries? Id doesn't need to be at all related to the timing systems that the people come up with, it just needs to be something that everyone agrees with to form a consistent way of determining when specific events happened.

We place an arbitrary time T = 0, the "present" of our conworld, and then we count backwards. Say, for instance, proto-whatever was spoken from T-6000 to T-4900. OR something.

We're not entirely sure what 'the present' is... We could set the year of Proto-Rai, Proto-Atŋaŋ, Mulesuax and Bresano as year 0 on the old scale, and once we arrive at the present simply set year 0 on the new scale.

Is everyone okay with setting T=0 as sometime around the late Proto-Rai, Mulesuax etc. time period?

Mulesuax is coming along really nicely :-) I will start fleshing out Bresano now before I get to work on any descendants.

Is it possible to set this system up in Celestia?

It already is, that's where I got the various planet and moon images.

On a side note, the system I have set up assumes that the gas giant is the 2nd planet in the system, but that can easily be changed. Does anyone even mind what the order of the planets are? I don't actually have any other planets decided for the system right now.

Could I have the files for it? I'd like to fly around myself, get an idea of what everything looks like from the surface. Maybe even pick out some constellations, if we go with that particular sky.

And I don't mind about the planets.

2nd planet sounds good. Are there seven planets total? @Lyhoko Leaci, did you end up making any Trojan moons or planets?

Celestia files, nearly all the textures are from http://celestiamotherlode.net/, except for Losna's ground texture and the ring texture, which I made. I have not added any other planet yet, and the moons with irregular orbits may be changed.

There are Trojan moons (MM II and MM III with M V), Trojan planets are possible, but are currently undetermined as I have not done anything with other planets yet.

The homepage of the wiki says that everyone who is interested can help, so I don't see any reason why you can't.

I've started to build up lexicons for each of the Bresano descendants and I'm in the middle of fixing the sound changes for the multitude of Mulesuax descendents. I haven't put any of that up yet because there doesn't seem to be much point if no-one else is still working on it.

I'm still working on my set of languages. Though there'll be a 6-week break whilst I'm on holiday.

Is anyone still interested in this project? Is anyone interested in joining? If no-one is interested then I am going to start using my langs for other projects. I still want to develop them and if other people are interested in Losna, then I will develop them on the Losna wiki.
