Holiday for Conlangers
Holiday for Conlangers
I have been absent from ZBB for far too long. In any case, I return bearing a gift for the conlanging community: a proposal for an ecumenical (artlanger, auxlanger, engelanger) holiday to celebrate the art and craft of language creation every year:
St. Hildegard's Day
I've written a post at The Conlanging Librarian blog explaining the rationale and how this would work:

Yes, I realize I'm one day late posting to ZBB about this year's, but I'd rather think I'm really early for St. Hilde's Day 2011.

Actually, there's a good Hilde's Day activity...Write drinking songs..er, uh..poetry...in your own conlang... or each person at the party has to write subsequent verses in their own conlang.Nortaneous wrote:Only if someone writes drinking songs in Lingua Ignota.

Now there's an idea. I think my first TC for Enzielu is going to be Barnacle Bill. That'll be fun.Dboozer wrote:Actually, there's a good Hilde's Day activity...Write drinking songs..er, uh..poetry...in your own conlang... or each person at the party has to write subsequent verses in their own conlang.Nortaneous wrote:Only if someone writes drinking songs in Lingua Ignota.

Speaking of the Sybil of the Rhine, people might like to know that a film about her life is coming out soon.

Salmoneus thinks this is vindictively offensive.

Re: Holiday for Conlangers
Say, has anyone thought of creating a grammar for the Lingua Ignota? Since she simply stuck her words into Latin phrases, that means that there's still plenty of room for a modern conlanger to goof around in.

Re: Holiday for Conlangers
I haven't looked into it deeply, but I think there isn't much preserved. Probably not enough to whirl up a grammar sufficiently different from Latin/Old High German.

Re: Holiday for Conlangers
Can't we coop Zamenhof Day and make it the International Conlanging Day?

Saint Hildegard's day is coming again in less than 2 weeks!
Who wants some conlanging activity?

Re: Holiday for Conlangers
I finally thought of something for Saint Hildegard's Day. We could write everything on the board in conlang(s) for one day. We could choose a conlang that everyone would learn, but most probably wouldn't learn it, or wouldn't agree on one conlang. So we could write everything on the board as though it were the Conlang Fluency Thread.
