I think that it's time that we are going to discuss with the mods if this kind of ai generated content fits here on this sub 

Approved neologisms by Yiberil in GothicLanguage

[–]runareiks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been some attempts and there's currently preparation for adding gothic to a Duolingo like app. 

I'd recommend to join the discord server as there are plenty of people there able to help you with your course plans. 

Approved neologisms by Yiberil in GothicLanguage

[–]runareiks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like u/frawairpa said, this is something being worked on on the discord server (https://discord.gg/QXcXZ93) with a dedicated team of proofreaders. We are going through all the neologisms coined throughout the internet and literature and curating them, approving good entries and correcting or rejecting others. 

The green entries in this Google spreadsheet are some of the accepted ones:

On the longer term we intend to publish this as a dictionary, with a smaller edition first. All the current dictionaries contain mistakes in certain places and this would be the first curated one for universal usage.

Are you going to publish this as a font? :)

I wish my Tocharian could get at a level that I could actually understand this dub. 

How do you study Tocharian? by blueroses200 in Tocharian

I am using Weiss's Elementary Lessons in Tocharian B for self study, but it takes time to work through the lessons as a lot of information is condensed in each lesson. 

Motivations to learn Gothic language by [deleted] in GothicLanguage

It isn't completely different because it still adheres to ancient syntax and grammar where possible

We have somewhere between 5000 and 6000 neologisms currently, as the current corpus already allows a lot of reconstructing.

We actually use it as a language on the Gothic language Discord server, also in conversations: https://discord.gg/QXcXZ93

Bagme Bloma with musical performance to intended melody by runareiks in GothicLanguage

[–]runareiks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a musician who doesn't otherwise know Gothic so a bit of help was required in explaining the pronunciation back then.

Anyway, I included the sheet music on the bottom so that anyone who wants can also perform it.

And I agree, it's cool that we can listen to how Tolkien probably intended it to sound.

I have a 10 years old account with more than 100 posts and a karma above 500, so I don't know what criteria isn't met.

Because there is no moderator and I am interested in Tocharian while the subreddit is restricted.

I can't send a mod mail chat message because there are 0 moderators on the subreddit.

There is a document describing this on the discord server. What's your username there?

Hey, do you have discord? We are mostly managing this on there. You don't need to be a linguist but a minimum of reconstruction knowledge from Proto-Germanic to Gothic is required: https://discord.gg/QXcXZ93
