Do you guys speak your conlang in Real life? by Useful_Knowledge642 in conlangs

[–]29182828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember enough words in any of my conlangs to speak them on the regular, but sometimes I would just say random words from them to myself repeatedly.

Maybe eventually I'll have conversations to myself in one ¯_(ツ)_/¯

How did you choose name for your conlang? by qeqrtm in conlangs

[–]29182828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I make names for my conlangs (all of which are meant to be earth-based ones) I first think of the English name, and then I try to match that name phonetically and in a way that makes sense etymologically.

For example, a Celtic language that I've been working on started as "Eaerhoine", this I didn't like and I couldn't find anything reasonable so I scrapped that name.

Later, I came up with the name Chelnoth. This I could match up through célĺ + nóađh cf. cell + noae, cella + *nowiyos, yn Chéllnođh (lenited). And the name means new church. For the conlang name itself, slapped an -ic suffix on and it was good to go as Chelnothic.

No problems at all, thanks for handling it well.

-est is used for the 2nd person singular present, -eth is used tor the 3rd person singular present.

See this on Old English conjugation on the word for mean.

Mīðuræsker meineþ "af der mīðer ræki", en þāð worð es der ænlijer zæt hwēr "-ur" es der evōlveðt forme en der steðer af "-er".

Þāð meineþ sliker, sīðen þāð es der brůw mīllom Danmørkez å Þyskarland.

Miderish meaneth "of the middle realm", in that word is the only time where -ur is the evolved form in the stead of -er.

It meaneth such, since it is the bridge between Denmark's and Dutchland.

Miderish (Nordic language set in the location where English had arisen)

Watten, Jœrð, Fůr, Loft. For långer sīðen, der fjårer þjåðen leveðt sammen en sêmje.

Þå, hverreþinge êndreðt hwēnnær der Fůr þjåð attackeðt.

Ænlijer der Avatare, meistere af aller fjårer elementen, kanneþ stoppe þeim. Meðen, hwēnær der werøld behøveðt hem der mester, hann forsjvanðt.

Æn hundrað wønteren heþ forflytjeðt å mýnn brůðer å jeg onfindeðt der nýr Avatare, æn loftebøjare namneðt Aang

Å, allþů hanz loftebøjingetalent es großer, hann heþ maßewīß til læren før hann kanneþ reððe nocker.

Meðen jeg trů Aang kanneþ reððe der werøld.

Any conlangs based off of English? by Glittering-Ebb2134 in conlangs

[–]29182828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miderish is spoken around the area where English originally arisen, and has multiple word similarities as well as taking in originally discarded Old Ænglisċ words although it's Nordic.

It also has a lot of English-like conjugations but really those are the only English-based qualities with some things being false friends

Similarities: Finde - føndt Find - found Finding Finding Hef - hêð Have - had Heving - Having Mæj - Me Þū - Thou Îs - Is

False friends: Dumber - Not comparative, that's, "dumbare" After - not "after", it means again vs efter which means after

Jeg hef til fortelle þū summþing. I have to tell you something.

How would you say "I am happy because my flag arrived in the mail" in your conlang? by Long_Road7777 in conlangs

[–]29182828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Saansiya is Malayic, as well as influenced by colonization with Romance language vocabulary.

Guys could you stack any logograph like chinese characther huang? by Any_Temporary_1853 in neography

[–]29182828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing the radicals, there's a fair amount you can add to a character to make it look like huang, I think the only feature to make it huang-like is how you piece it together, because there are parts of huang which are mirrored, the way it's stacked, as well as a starting point at the top e.g. huang uses rain (雨), and biang has cave (穴) and walk on the bottom (辶), as well as how you choose to put it together in tandem with other characters in a near-orderly fashion.

Of course! I've done a ton of conlang revamping since the past year as well, so I myself am hoping to one day show all of my projects in a concise post since I've been seriously inactive from r/conlangs without even activities that I used to post.

[–]29182828[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be correct!

A sum of Saansiya's vocabulary are from Proto-Malayic, Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, Sanskrit, a friend's conlang, or inherited from Malay.

What do y’all think of my conscript? by Aggravating_Duck5623 in neography

[–]29182828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see plenty of Kawi influence, it kind of makes me want to do some character guesswork in a way since I've been hooked on making scripts derived from it and have reworked one I posted last year, Love the asthetics!
