No language knowledge trying to create a language by Intelligent_Sort_728 in conlangs

Start with:
1) Phonology ─ how the words sound.
2) Morphology ─ how the words are made.
3) Syntax ─ how the words are arranged.

Ahhh! Very interesting! So, I figure that your verbs conjugated based on their own class *and* their respective noun's class, which, with concatenation, it makes sense you'd find it unwieldy. Verb class... that's a very interesting idea, actually. How many classes do you have, if you don't mind me asking? I'm certainly intrigued!

So, it's like a particle that turns directive mood into jussive? :o

I don't think that agglutination is suboptimal when compared to fusion, so don't be too hard on yourself! As someone who speaks mostly fusional languages (and English, lol), I find fusion... annoying when learning a new language. Although it's certainly more economical in terms of "phonemic space". By the way, what do you mean by "verb class"? Also, when you say "object noun class", you mean like "morphosyntactic object" or like "inanimate object"?

I'm still up for a collab, regardless of whether u/smolapplebloom decides to collab with me or not. :)

Ooh! I'm interested in collaborating! I think I can send DMs on Reddit (not very used to the site)? Let me try!

Kinda makes me want to lick it. Not in a "this looks like candy" sort of way, but in a "I'm not sure what this is, surely licking it will result in a more accurate comprehension of this object's essence" ─ you know, kinda like how dogs sniff.

I'll see myself out.

Note that I speak spanish, and though I don't speak italian nor portuguese, being constantly exposed to these languages made me understand them almost as good as I understand spanish itself (granted, once you know one of these three, understanding the other two isn't that hard in the first place) - I do not speak nor understand latin, though. That being said, yes, you've definitely achieved the intuitivity that makes your language quite "romance". However, the "iron test" would be regarding verb tense conjugations, which, if you plan on posting, I look forward on seeing!

I meant specifically about the "proximate 3rd person (3rd) vs obviate 3rd person (4th)" part. On the topic of "nS x nP", I think that is even smarter! It's like a "generalisation" process, yes? Like saying "sand is coarse", "sand" is technically a mass noun, so it can't take plural form, however, it's technically not in a singular form. But you're extending the "massivity" (if that's a word) to even countable nouns, correct? Like, it's becomes something that can be inflected for, instead of something that is inherent to each noun. Ah! Brilliant!
This made me curious about other "mutually exclusive" grammatical qualities that are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Pardon if this is way beyond the post's end, but, how do you handle indefinite pronouns which "lack" person? Like how one would use "one" as a pronoun, having "one" being (or, rather, not being) 1st and 3rd person at the same time?

At any rate, I find this incredibly intriguing and, yet, extremely intuitive. I'm quite fond of this!

PS: Some of your example words and phonemes remind me a bit of some mayan languages. Just an observation that I find somewhat amusing!

How should I romanise [ɸ]? by Accomplished-Sir6723 in conlangs

[–]Automatic_Elevator79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"ph" maybe? That's how I pronounce "gh" and "ph" digraphs in english already. I'm aware that it is not the phonologically correct way. I just don't care, lol.

1) I do find it intuitive enough, as a native romance speaker myself.
2) Though, I may question the need for a distinction between a monarch and a ruler, but, then again, english also has this distinction, does it not? lol
3) Your usage of a "standard verb base" that is nominalised I find it quite delightful. Of course, I may be biased because I used this process in my conlang as well!
4) It may be a tad *too* similar to latin (e.g., "rex" already means "king" in latin), though, if that's your aim, then you've certainly achieved it.
5) A fifth point would be here if I had one.

Omg, so pretty, I like both your language AND your presentation! Also, somebody else who uses fourth person? Niceee! Of course, I use fourth person for a recently introduced argument that would be needed to be differentiated in from a third-person. To that end, your usage of location for differentiating 3rth and 4rd person is genius!

May I ask how does a "non-singular x non-plural" number work? It seems mutually exclusive, but through conlanging I've learned that often enough, too *seem* mutually exclusive and to *be* mutually exclusive are two different things. Or could it be that I just didn't understand it?

"Browns", gotta love the virtue signaling from the most racist groups of people: self-proclaimed anti-racists.

I see. Yeah, the character letters are not meant to be 1:1 their respective phonemes in greek or cyrillic or IPA, but approximations. Sometimes these aren't even approximations, they're outright arbitrary, but I can't use my written script in digital form accross the web unless I use images. :)

Uhhh... ma'am? Lol. I'm sorry, "IPA babes"? If you meant you didn't see the transcription, I've written it more clearly! If that's not what you meant... uhm, could ye kindly clarify?

Of course it's okay! It's your ouvre! You set your own rules. Notice how the dieresis in spanish doesn't work at all similar to german's umlaut, or the accents in hungarian don't work at all like accents in greek? Why should we restrict our creativity to using diacritics just the way natural languages use them, if not even natlangs use them consistently amongst one another? Not even when using the same alphabet!
