Thanks Yes, it's Wordpress, with a custom theme and a bunch of plugins (some of which are mine). I'm still tweaking stuff and bringing old content over, but I'm happy with how it's looking. The vocabulary section still has few little bugs, but I'm working on those.Chuma wrote:It is quite pretty, I agree. It looks distinctly not handmade... ah yes, Wordpress, right?

Re: I Will Learn Your Conlang
Kardii gets my vote too.
Re: I Will Learn Your Conlang
OK, I'm just gonna call it. Let's do Kardii. Everybody start learning Kardii, and we'll figure out how much time we need to get anywhere. If you're dead set on learning some other language, feel free, but I'd like to get at least half a dozen volunteers learning Kardii. Nortala, if you have any other materials you can give us, please do.

Re: (I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
Sounds good to me! Should we just use this thread at the beginning?
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
Kardii seems nice. It seems like a friendly language. But what does the "y" in the orthography stand for? Also, could somebody please put the Kardii sources on the first post? Thanks.

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
While we're here, could we maybe get an IPA or X-SAMPA translation of the phonology? The IPA symbols given don't help much, since they often conflict with the description (who pronounces "top" with [o]?).

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
I don't actually like the phonology of Kardii. I think you're all just blinded by the pretty website. </devil's advocate>
(That might be, to be fair, because Nortala doesn't seem to know IPA very well, with such things as [o] in LOT and [ə] in STRUT – which is correct for an American accent but incorrect for an Australian accent, which is what I reckon she's going for – so it gives off a strong impression that open vowels have been left out.)

I'm with finlay, Kardii's not to my tastes.
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
Same, I think I like Inyauk the best so far.Astraios wrote:I'm with finlay, Kardii's not to my tastes.
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
My first choice was actually Inyauk. Kardii was my second choice, and since it didn't look like anyone else wanted to learn Inyauk I just went with Kardii.Simmalti wrote:Same, I think I like Inyauk the best so far.Astraios wrote:I'm with finlay, Kardii's not to my tastes.
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Kardii Study Group)
OK, OK, fine. We'll go with Inyauk. If we have a large enough group, we can split between both languages, but please do not split into tiny groups of two or three, because most of you ARE going to drop out before the end.

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
Awesome!
You guys just let me need to know how you want to go about this.
I'll spiff up the grammar a bit and it posted tonight or tomorrow.
Unless you change your minds again, but that's cool.

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
I have to side with Zoris on the voting here. Right now brandrinn has twice rushed into a decision following three or so voices saying one thing and another few dissenting, showing how it would have made more sense to at least wait a specified amount of time (e.g. Zoris's suggestion of one week) before tallying. Anyways, in the end I'm not against Inyauk (which would have been one of my higher votes) but I also think there's something to the idea that at least some of us should go with one of the languages not chosen, as Risla has committed to and others have suggested.
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
I'm not actually voting, by the way, since I'm not actually going to take part – I just thought I'd play devil's advocate. Seemed to work.
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
You're all free to ignore me but I'm a bit annoyed by the fact that everyone here seems to have a two-post attention span...
Personally I cannot vote for either language; I was going for more completeness.

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
Look, you braying malcontents, this was not designed as a collaborative effort. A bunch of people jumped onboard and I tried to keep it moving the best I could. If we can't get a bunch of people organized properly without STV ballots and six week election cycles, then to hell with it, just learn whichever language you want.

Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
why don't you guys do two groups and compete? you know, the world series of conlang learning, the less spectacular sport in the world. Maybe we could even bet.

I'll do Inyauk. I just want to know what we're doing.

Do we have a game plan, or are we just supposed to start studying?
Re: I will Learn Your Conlang (Now: Inyauk Study Group)
We're studying Inyauk. Now what do you think is a reasonable amount of time? One month? Two? Personally I would like a short time, maybe four or five weeks, but I know some people aren't quite done with school, so there is that to consider. Then we need to decide what we're going to do once we've done our studying. I'm kind of partial to the idea of an informal role-play, kind of like D&D, but easy on the rules. If anybody has any other ideas, please speak up!
