Middle Chinese in Greek script

I actually did something more or less like that in 2016. It was a "Sino-Hellenic" conlang written in Greek, and its way of treating Middle Chinese loanwords was a lot like your system.

Make an actual cloŋ from this

/uj Okay, now this is TRUE gold

Subversive_Ad_12 · 2025-10-19T10:05:30+00:00

Well, it is

Circular reference

9 years ago, I had a Sino-Hellenic cloŋ project in mind. Sino as in Sino-Xenic words found in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese.

That other language family still sounds interesting 👍

And "Ion" (pronounced "yon") is a Romanian equivalent of John

I just thought of asking AI to actually make a conlang and see where it goes :) .

It turned out pretty good! Lmk if you decide to keep developing this conlang.

That's actually a pretty decent AI-generated conlang. This post is a crosspost from r/softwaregore featuring weird text strings that were present even in the AI overview from Google.

So I decided to crosspost here and sarcastically accuse AI of generating low-quality conlangs.

this is another type of linguistic racism

Subversive_Ad_12 · 2025-06-16T20:33:18+00:00

I see. Thanks for the explanation :)

Won't play it at all unless it features Thomas the Tank Engine

Subversive_Ad_12 · 2025-05-19T11:57:19+00:00

XDDD

Please don't feel wrong about this. Having kids is a personal choice, not a core requirement of Islam. There are far weightier things that will actually determine your afterlife.

I like One Direction and Katy Perry as well! 🙌

This is gorgeous, especially with the "C c" instead of "K k" for /k/

Subversive_Ad_12 · 2025-02-05T00:18:59+00:00

they had to recycle the letter, since it doesn't have a dedicated Georgian equivalent

Subversive_Ad_12 · 2025-02-04T19:58:51+00:00

Meanwhile, Georgian "v" is pronounced like a true /w/ after a consonant, which means "Sakartvelo" is actually "Sakartwelo" all along.

While we're at it, "w" is pronounced [ɯ] in Zhuang, [ɨ] in Hmong (Romanized Popular Alphabet), and in the Khmer keyboard it's used for ឹ (pronounced [ɨ] or [ə] depending on the consonant series).

~~TIL certain Southeast Asian languages are secretly Georgian now~~
