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

Analytic/Isolating Languages of Almea?

Post by Mbwa »

I've just started to actually read through Zomp's languages, and it is quite inspiring. I'm just wondering though, are there any isolating languages on Almea, or do you have any planned? And which of the currently complete ones would you say is the most isolating?

Thanks,

Mbwa

Zompist certain has isolating languages. Lufào (a Sha language) certainly is one of these, while the language of Belesao is probably an isolating language as well. Not much more info though, except some Be words scattered around the wiki, and a Lufao wordlist in the Proto-Eastern page.

Thanks for the reply.

I hope Zomp develops these languages further. I've just really realized it, but he has a great talent for conlanging; I'd like to see how he'd go about doing an isolating language.

An isolating lang by zomp would be really nice to see. He has a knack for syntax; he doesn't skimp on it in his inflecting langs either.

For some reason all the languages I've been working on lately are isolating: Omeguese, K'aitanese, Nanese, Uyse? and Lé. At some point I'll write a full grammar of one of these, most likely Lé.

Will that be before or after the Historical Atlas of Arcel?

And many of these are Arcelian (Arcelic? Arcelese? Arcelinian?), insofar as I can tell; so is there a high-morphology Erelae sprachbund and a high-syntax Arcel sprachbund?

I don't think Erelae can really be called a Sprachbund. Neither can Arcel, especially since by the look of it the only thing Uyse? and Le have in common is the fact they're isolating, which is hardly rare cross-linguistically.

It'd be good to see Zomp do an isolating conlang; there don't seem to be many around atm.

All the languages of Erelae are from one synthetic/agglutinating ancestor, except Kebreni and a bunch of languages with little or no data, like Cuolese, Mei, Fei, Qarau, and Demoshi. Sounds like coincidence to me.
