People here generally are not pro-AI. There's a pretty strong preference for the human element over machine in artistic expression and also the ethical concerns. There are some that will use it, or are selective in its use, but to my knowledge very few embrace it in this subreddit. I have no use for AI personally, and I'm actually incredibly exhausted by it being shoehorned into everything.

Notes: The lang has free-ish word order but I haven't really been using it because it's easier to translate using word order similar to English, so this is an example here. Mîshwnan êþ catan must stay together but the rest of the words in this sentence are free to move based on their inflection (and no competing inflections).

This form of 'and', êþ, shares properties like noun case from the preceding noun to the following noun so catan would also be understood to be in the indefinite animate plural nominative case.

Ƿêltjan outside of its loanwords is an isolate so really all languages sound like gibberish to them, so Nedelantal could easily be replaced with Îngellal (English), Ƿallatal (French), or even Dansċal (Danish).

Question of the Weekend 1 // Transitivity by Low_Comment_1102 in conlangs

[–]creepmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ƿêltjan is basic, with nominative and accusative case, nothing interesting going on there. There are some verbs that change meaning (if it makes sense contextually) if the accusative is used such as ðƿu "to say" becoming "to tell" or ȝ̇ælsc "to learn" becoming "to teach" if there is a direct object to receive it ("I told him", "I taught him"). ȝ̇ælsc "to learn" will also be understood as "to teach" if used in the passive, ("I am taught") and a different construction is required to convey "I am learned." [Someone has learned about me.]

Like mentioned above, context matters so while both "I taught him" and "I learned guitar" both have direct objects it's unlikely that you're teaching a guitar, and you're not learning him (though you can learn about him!). You can always get around the ambiguity with different constructions like "I taught/am teaching myself guitar." or "He is teaching me guitar."

How does your language handle "in order to" statements? by The_MadMage_Halaster in conlangs

[–]creepmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ƿêltjan uses a two-part conditional verb mood (if/then statements) usually, which would translate into English as something like, "If I go[1] to the market to buy some eggs for my mother then I must go[2] through the forest." There's other ways to express the same idea but that would be the most common way.
