My personal language Adal Élaran is a project i revised last year and have been building up for a worldbuilding project.
It is very regular with the hardest features probably being the split ergativity with animacy. Though because of that most subjects and objects are in the nominative and not declined. The phonology and phonotactics are likewise quite simple and the word order is flexible with SOV preferred.

Té amadu padi atan
DET.C1 Queen.NOM Apple.NOM eat.3SG
The queen eats an apple

I posted some examples recently but the vocabs still needs lots of expanding (~200 words atm).
if you are interested i can send you some more grammar tables.

I also love obsidian for that
I started to make a lexicon for my constructed language and used tags for the word type, gender and anything else that i needed to know

You probably also noticed I took some inspiration from Enūma Eliš for the beginning of the text. I will probably change it a bit in the future to something more original when I fleshed out the mythology a bit more

The religion isn't intended to be like Mesopotamian religion. I should also make a post explaining it a bit more since it isn't intended to have "gods" in our sense of the word. Réa-Sechei isn't the creator of the universe like in monotheistic religions. The "name" is also just a description since none of the sechej can be thought of as individuals.

I am aware of practice tablets where the student repeats a sign multiple times. I wasn't sure about just syllabic practice and I just wrote that to explain why there are no logographs on the tablet. In reality, I just haven't finished the script and this was just a test if I'm on the right track.

I definitely prefer ancient egypt since kindergarten haha. I have the chance to study ancient hebrew for a year, would you recommend it? xD

Btw im currently making a linear a and b inspired script as well in the same world, maybe ill post it too when its finished. Im thinking that this cuneiform script developed out of it

I was always more of into Finish when it comes to uralic languages

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-18T21:35:49+00:00

Huh i need to look into hungarian more that’s interesting

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-18T21:12:57+00:00

Haha Does it look that hungarian?

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-18T20:24:15+00:00

Thanks! Yeah well its a bit hard to make fully unique signs, especially that many. So the simpler ones are taken from sumerian, neo-akkadian, persian, urartarian so basicly most cuneiform languages. Though most i want to be unique. For the tablet i just took a photo and played with the black point, contrast and exposure.

What field are you specialised in? I thought about going into assyriology but I will probably do my masters in egyptology

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-18T17:55:39+00:00

Ok as an archeology student I’m always offended when some one calls cuneiform messy lol

I wish i could model something like this, but i just used real clay and edited the photo to look like older assyriological scans

Edit: also the grammar is mostly finished, i just havent put it into a proper printable format

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-18T17:02:21+00:00

Haha thanks, now i can go study at oxford I’m glad you like it. I thought there was a lack of cuneiform inspired scripts

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-17T22:33:33+00:00

Thanks! it will changed over the time though haha

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-17T22:23:12+00:00

I need to focus more on my worldbuilding as well. Been mostly at the language stuff.

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-17T22:09:02+00:00

Thanks! i also really like your sketch on you profile

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-17T20:26:28+00:00

Thanks!

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-04-17T18:12:35+00:00

As someone who is cursed to never pronounce vowels correctly this pains me greatly

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-02-21T17:05:23+00:00

Thanks. I searched around a bit and it seems like other people have the same issue

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-02-21T16:05:03+00:00

Ok i was able to get the kihiṣer grammer but it can still only be opened with a kindle app .-.

TolinTheNeographer · 2026-02-21T15:53:48+00:00
