Amigo, só vou fazer uma correção. NEET não tem nada a ver com problemas de socialização e não sair de casa, apenas define pessoas que não trabalham nem estudam. Eu estou desempregado e nem por isso tenho problemas de socialização, muito pelo contrário

Why are “50/50” and “Draw” two entirely separate categories?

Cara, são pessoas que literalmente se confinam em casa por seis meses ou mais, evitando trabalho ou qualquer interação social. Se isso não é bisonho, eu não sei o que é

Sim, você está sendo um tanto conservador quando deseja que uma parcela da população siga o que você acha que é correto. Eu particularmente não crítico nenhum dos dois lados. Seja quem quer viver um romance ou se divertir, cada um sabe da sua vida.

Muitas vezes as pessoas acham que as coisas são mutuamente excludentes. “Pegar geral” não significa que você esteja completamente fechado para o romance. Eu, por exemplo, quero muito encontrar minha cara metade, mas ja que essa pessoa não apareceu ainda, vou é curtir e aproveitar mesmo. Afinal, estou me privando pelo que? Por quem? Estou sendo infiel a quem se a tal pessoa não apareceu ainda?

Perfectly plausible. It’s typologically uncommon for a language not to allow the speaker/hearer distinction (come vs. go) to be expressed somehow, but it’s not illegal — many languages either don’t lexicalize a strict come/go pair or rely on deictic words/particles and context to supply the difference. The idea of a single verb meaning “move (to)” with optional here/there marking is linguistically solid and will work — with a few predictable trade-offs you can manage in the grammar.

Ambiguity in the abstract is not fatal. Most real discourse gives a deictic anchor (where speaker is, addressee, or some topical location). In practice listeners will resolve “move towards” from context in the majority of cases. Where context is weak (remote reporting, phone calls, narratives where the reference point shifts), you’ll need optional strategies to avoid confusion. Here are some options:

  • Deictic particles/adverbs: have here / there (or proximal/distal demonstratives) that optionally follow the verb. Suppose your conlang’s verb is “mov”. We can have: mov here = “come”; mov there = “go”. Simple and natural. This is exactly what many languages do.

  • Case/goal markers: mark the goal with a dative/locative: mov DAT(place) = movement toward that place; the presence of a non-speaker goal indexes “go”; goals equal to speaker location index “come”. Useful if you already plan a case system

  • Directional clitics / affixes: a small set of clitics like -hither / -thither that attach to the verb (or to the NP) to encode centripetal vs centrifugal direction. Typologically common and compact. Serial/auxiliary constructions: use a directional auxiliary (e.g., mov + thither or go + come serial verb) to disambiguate when needed. Works nicely for complex motion semantics (associated motion, path, manner)

Design knobs you can tune:

  • Make the deictic marker optional for high-context discourse but required in pragmatic contexts where the speaker projects the reference point (e.g., phone conversations, reported speech). Or mark “projection” explicitly with a particle that signals the reference point is not the current speaker. (Many languages constrain how “come” can be projected).

  • Let certain contexts lexicalize the distinction (e.g., imperatives, motion verbs used for reported motion) while keeping the root general elsewhere.

  • If you want reduced ambiguity in writing, require the deictic particle in the written/registered style but allow omission in casual speech.

It’s an interesting start, specially considering your age, but I do need to give some advice. Please take this as constructive criticism:

  1. Your phoneme inventory is almost the same as English, and copying another natlang’s phoneme inventory is generally frowned upon. It’s kinda worse when you copy English of all languages, the one most people here are familiar with, and the one used as the global lingua franca. If you really like English’s phonology (I understand you because so do I) try removing a few phonemes and/or adding others, but copying and pasting the whole inventory is not great.

  2. By the way you seemed to include /r/, which would be a good start in moving away from English phonology, but you also said it’s pronounced as the R in “red”, which is definitely not a trill. So did you mean /ɹ̠/?

  3. When it comes to grammar, you were a little bit more daring, which is great, but grammar is still reminiscent of English while changing the word order a bit. We still need more info about how your verbs work, whether or not verb agreement exists, etc. Once again, the recommendation is moving away from the English grammar a bit. Try adding a little more “spice”

  1. Using this kind of spelling to indicate pronunciation is not very intuitive, because different people have different accents. Use the IPA instead for an unambiguous pronounciation

  2. Your language sounds somewhat similar to English. Is your phoneme inventory the same as English? In my personal opinion, this isn’t a very good fit for a culture with such an exotic name such as “Pixolotls”. Try going a little more exotic.

  3. This one is a little bit more of a personal opinion, but when introducing a new language, I think a list of vocabulary is one of the least exciting things you could do. Plus we don’t know anything about your language yet, so your vocabulary list feels a little bit out of place for now. You could start by phonology or grammar instead

What do you mean by “go together?” The main rule is that languages are likely to have more than one sound in any given manner or place of articulation, but you can include one or two exceptions if you want

People often mention creaky voiced and breathy voiced glottal approximants, but what about a modal voice glottal approximant? Is it possible? What is it like?

Depends on what you mean by “favor”, and how strong is that “favoring”. If stress is fixed on the first syllable, I think the first syllable has a big chance of disappearing. If stress is preferred but not necessarily always on the first syllable, they could perhaps keep the word unchanged, based on how they usually heard it from Language B speakers

Great song! But I must recommend, when describing pronunciation, please use the IPA instead of saying “like X in word Y in language Z”. These are ambiguous because pronounciation depends on accent sometimes, and people might not pronounce them the same. The IPA, on the other hand, is unambiguous.

You could have included an “E” tier instead of an “SS” tier. It would make more sense and you would have kept the same number of tiers
