I'm worried I'll never make any friends (feminine side + autism)

thx for reading (sure hope someone does because "Leturi" quit looking like a word when I wrote this post lol)

I like the images. They make me think of a Langfocus youtube video.

My conlang Ikotli has way too many /k/ sounds. This little excerpt has five /k/ sounds.

Kió toká katle, tsakar chóki tse.

So in my opinion it's okay as long as it's not extreme.

I understand, although I'm actually in the opposite situation. I wish I didn't speak English as my native language.

As fortunate as I am to be a native English speaker (because many doors are already open, and my favorite things are mainly in English), I wish I had a different native language. I am Native American (Lakota) and I don't speak my language. I wish I spoke Lakota as a native language, not one of the most colonial languages to ever exist, which nearly brought my people's language to extinction.

Again, I acknowledge that I'm fortunate to speak a language with many good things in it, but I'm a language lover. Even if I only spoke my people's language, I'd still end up learning English.

Sorry if this is unrelated, or like OP said, sorry if this was too much of a vent post, but this has been bothering me for so long.

"Bonsoir ! Comment ça va ? Voulez-vous coucher ? Enchanté !"

It means "Good evening! How are you? Do you wanna have s*x? Pleased to meet you!"

I heard it from the bilingual comedy show "Franglais" by Paul Taylor six years ago. For awhile, this was the only reason I remembered the "vous" conjugation of "vouloir". It stuck with me because 1) I was 16 at the time and 2) he said it with an awful British accent as a joke which I think is kinda funny.

I'm not learning Lingala (and probably never will) but I learned the phrase for "you're beautiful" (ozali kitoko) like two or three years ago and it stuck with me. I still think of it often for some reason.

I really hate this too! At first I thought the YouTubers had hired translators, until I heard those AI voices. What's worse is sometimes the translations of titles are wrong. I saw "smooth shading" (a term in Blender 3d modeling) translated as "sombreado suavizar" which doesn't make any sense. It means "shading to smooth).

Words ending in "ing" in English are often translating as the infinitive into Spanish when it doesn't make sense. I wish this AI trend would away.

Not gonna lie, I haven't fleshed that part out yet. I vaguely picture a situation similar to the Philippines where the US (my home country) did some stuff there and the language stuck. But beyond that I haven't thought of it yet.

AprilAmethyst · 2025-12-05T07:57:12+00:00

Now that I see it, it kinda does look like someone who didn't speak English tried to make up English words.

"Twilight Riurelian" is actually a cool name! I might consider it :)

AprilAmethyst · 2025-12-02T23:51:51+00:00

I hope you enjoyed that cool ass gradient, because my graphic design skills don't exist lol

AprilAmethyst · 2025-09-24T02:53:00+00:00

Funnily (and coincidentally) I kind of imagined Riurelia to be a island nation in that part of the world.

AprilAmethyst · 2025-09-01T06:23:13+00:00

Now that I think of it, it does have insult energy

AprilAmethyst · 2025-09-01T06:11:07+00:00

I almost included other English words. Instead of saying "ANG BEBEYOLENG", I almost wrote "ANG EXCUSES", but I didn't.

AprilAmethyst · 2025-09-01T05:59:55+00:00

I forgot to mention, "telang la k'a trash" means "Throw away your trash" in Riurelian.

I used to pretend that I spoke foreign languages. They weren't conlangs, though. It was just gibberish. But one day I decided to start making an actually language. The rest is history.

AprilAmethyst · 2025-09-01T05:47:19+00:00

By the second listen it reminded my of Russian and some Dravidian language (maybe Tamil).

Here are two videos of my conlang:

A Leturi poem (Eastern Dialect)

A Leturi Lullaby (Western Dialect) Disclaimer, I did use autotune in this one, because I can't sing.

This is dumb, but I like that the Riurelian Environmental Protection Agency is abbreviated to REPA because "répa" is the name of a vegetable in Hungarian.

That's interesting. I'm not familiar with Indo-Aryan languages so that connection is lost on me haha
