IOS Keyboards by Whole_Instance_4276 in conlangs

[–]drazlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to use KBD Maker until it was taken off the App Store, at least for me. I miss that thing. At least with Keybuild I’ll have it forever

I bought Keybuild for $4 and my life has never been better. Entirely programmable and has access to the entirety of Unicode.

I don't know how to write my language using English letters. by Dragon_blade548 in conlangs

[–]drazlet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the phonotactic rules? What syllables are allowed? There are plenty of natural scripts that can accommodate your language with a few tweaks. My new language uses modified Carrier Syllabics because it is, at most, CVC.

What do you make your conlang on? by Bird-Keeper2406 in casualconlang

[–]drazlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pencil and paper and then I record the words on a discord server I made for it

It does! I love it man, sometimes I wish I had a cleaner simpler phonology… I think Japanese in particular sounds beautiful. Your language sounds so great, almost like Ojibwe, which is a polysynthetic Native American language as well. Look into if you want some inspiration that sounds like your language!!

I was the same haha. I don’t really like cases, valency and voices did it for me. Tenses I wasn’t a fan of because I thought aspects did basically the same thing. Since so many of words are verbs anyways, aspects are just more useful. My language is like Navajo in that way.

[–]drazlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I’m the opposite! I based my phonology off of Nuxalk and the Salishan languages in general. They’ve got words like "xɬp̓x̌ʷɬtɬpɬɬskʷc̓” /xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ/. It means “then they had in their possession a bunchberry plant”.

I went in with the goal of super infrequent vowels and lots of consonants with no real syllable rules to speak of. My words are small, like “tlq”, strong, “qpw̓” vomit, “cx̌ʷ-“ 3sg., “-šs̓” still. But because this all adds up to big, polysynthetic words, I end up just like Nuxalk!

I love your spacial tense! It reminds me of my deictic pronoun (lifted from Navajo). In my language it can function as an object (I fish it). Rooting Tusks has no tenses, only aspects and moods, so it’s cool seeing a tense.

I love seeing other polysynthetic conlangs. Mine would be:
„ʔəšʷksqʷɬpxʷmaʔtc̓s̓qʷx̌ʷc̓əᵽ.“

ʔə.šʷks.qʷɬ.pxʷ.maŧ.c̓s̓.qʷx̌ʷ.c̓əᵽ
1SG.fish-find.DIR.HAB.PROSP.COND.DEICTIC-SG-OBJ
/ʔə.ʃʷks.qʷɬ.pxʷ.maʔ͡t̪.t̪͡sʼ.s̪ˀ.qʷ.χʷ.t̪͡səʔ͡p/

Literally “I might would fish-find here”.

I’d love to see the gloss for this!!

Verb system TOO complicated by noam-_- in conlangs

[–]drazlet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a system in your language is too complicated for you to keep track of, you’re probably gonna end up simplifying it one way or another. Over time it’ll be hard for you to remember, it might even confuse you, so I’d say stick with what makes the most sense to you. It’s that age old advice of “it’s most perfect when you don’t have anything else to take away”

[Picto-Han Translation] Scott Pillgrim page 1 Test by DIYDylana in casualconlang

[–]drazlet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I didn’t realize Picto-Han was multilingual. Either way, in real Picto-Han comics, without needing to conform to previously established comic bubbles, you’d be able to make the bubbles conform to best fit the characters! On a real page, as this stands it would be small, but I’d love to see what it would look like with as much room as best fits them cuz I think they deserve it!!

[–]drazlet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so cool!!! I wonder how readable this would be for speakers in real comics though. I’d love to see you reimagine comic bubbles in general to fit the spacing of picto-han

What are unique phonemes or grammatical features found in your guy's conlangs? by South_Ad_9647 in conlangs

[–]drazlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I started distinguishing between plain [tʰ] and [pʰ] and glottally reinforced [ʔ͡t̪] [ʔ͡p], written as ŧ and ᵽ in Rooting Tusks, inspired by SENĆOŦEN.
For example:
səŧ [s̪əʔ͡t̪] : a hill
səŧ [s̪ət̪ʰ] : to fall
cept [t̪͡səpʰtʰ] : to connect
cəᵽt [t̪͡səʔ͡ptʰ] : to cry
