Olmopran officially has 12 consonants and 7 vowels, which are:

• a /ɑː/
• a /ʌ/
• b /b/
• dj /dʒ/
• e /ɛ/
• f /f/
• h /x/
• i /iː/
• i /ɪ/
• k /k/
• n /n/
• nk /ŋk/
• o /oʊ/
• p /p/
• r /r/
• s /s/
• t /t/
• u /uː/
• w /w/

However, /oʊ/ and /uː/ are only used to form suffixes of temporality, which mark the temporal tense of verbs. The others are everywhere.

Syllables are either CVC or VCV. All nouns are typically two syllables, while suffixes are usually just one. For the purpose of this study, a "syllable" is defined as "a morpheme consisting of either CVC or VCV, regardless of actual syllabic value". The Olmopran syllabary takes this into account, as it disregards syllabic value so that each character is either representing a CVC or VCV aspect of the language overall.

One special feature of the Olmopran language — Nifseb-wattaw-afinket-Alamep-raw-hentak-bet-nem-befrat, or "(neutral article for unspecified number)-word-plus-World-(which exists eternally)-equals-belonging(happening now or on an ongoing basis)-(in the direction of) — is the use of connecting words between parts of each sentence. As you'll see, the subject of a sentence is "added" to the object of a sentence, which then "equal" the verb of the sentence; these are essentially filler words taken from nouns, but help to dictated the correct direction in which a statement is said and/or to be understood.

Basic Olmopran Nouns:

• afinket — more; an addition to; plus
• alamep — planet; the world; all of known existence
• ankakan — river
• bidjiri — compass
• djattaw — parent
• fefira — fire
• hentak — equal; the same
• neffet — friend
• reksat — construction, such as a building or a hut
• riffaw — reeds, like for writing
• sankazi — fortress; castle
• setwan — sand
• sitifa — self
• wahhad — enemy
• waneka — vehicle
• wattaw — word; a part of speech; a unit of intelligent and comprehensible communication

Basic Olmopran Verbs:

• *aka - "to carry"
• bedj - "to look"
• bet - "to belong"
• fij — "to live; to be alive; to exist"

Basic Olmopran Prepositions:

• befrat — in the direction of
• erefin — under

(With, in the direction of, under, over, within, without, in, out, above, below, around)

Putting it all together

As requested, Olmopran is an agglutinative, SOV language. Verbs and nouns are not inflected but rather added onto with prefixes and suffixes to determine various relations; some of these types of add-on words modify noun case or verb tense and aspect, while others function as honorifics or articles.

Olmopran Articles:

• ije- — The definite article. Used to refer to one specific instance of a noun or action verb.
• narket- — The "neutral" article. Used to mark when knowing whether a subject is definite or indefinite is not necessary for understanding the sentence.
• nifseb- — The plural article. Used to mark when one is referring to groups of the noun or action verb.

There is no indefinite article.

Olmopran Honorifics:

Almost every noun can be applied as a suffix to add special meaning to its root noun; this is usually done with proper names, which are taken from normal words anyway, but can be done with other words as well, such as:

• ankakan-neffet — "river-friend"
• setwan-wahhad — "sand-enemy"

Olmopran Noun Cases:

• ‐ben — existed in the past
• -pif — exists in the present
• -raw — will always exist; is eternal, immortal, or undying, or does not have a specific time period in which it exists
• -sep — exists in the future

These are applied as suffixes to nouns only, or to an action verb being treated as a noun.

Olmopran Verb Tenses:

• -kam — expected to happen eventually
• -nem — ongoing and/or happening right now
• -rom — will happen
• -tum — no longer happening

These are applied as suffixes to verbs to express when in relation to the current time the verb took or is taking or will take place.

Example Sentences

1

> Ije-sitifa-pif-afinket-ije-sitifa-pif-hentak-bet-nem-befrat afinket narket-aka-waneka-ben hentak bedj-tum-befrat.

> "(The self as it currently exists plus the self as it currently exists equals belonging in the direction of on an ongoing basis) plus (unspecified number of carry-vehicles which existed in the past) equals (no longer looking in the direction of)."

2

> Ije-sitifa-pif-afinket-ije-sitifa-pif-hentak-bet-nem-befrat afinket ije-ankakan-pif hentak fij-nem-erefin.

> "(The self as it currently exists plus the self as it currently exists equals belonging in the direction of on an ongoing basis) plus (the river as it currently exists) equals (living on an ongoing basis under)."

Syllabary thoughts

My general idea is that each sentence has the subject, object, and verb delineated when writing in a similar manner as cartouches are used for isolating names and proper nouns, as well as separate parts of equations as currently written. Instead of writing (3 x 5) + (7 – 4) = 18, you would write (subject) + (object) = verb, where the parentheses and the characters for these "connecting words" are all punctuation marks similar to the mathematical ones.

The syllabary itself has each block of three phonemes treated as its own morpheme, but accounts for the different matches of CVC and VCV in visual notation, so there are likely quite a few syllables which can be accounted for here, although I forget the equation to figure it out.

Very probably, afinket could be changed out for a word which means its opposite and be represented essentially like a "minus" symbol to negate the verb: this happened versus this did not happen. Or maybe a ≠ to indicate that they don't agree with the verb used to refer to them, or something like that.

Final comment

Speedlang Sunday is over, so this officially isn't for that, but the challenge prompt did inspire me to work on one of my random languages I'd only had a phonology idea for before for one of the worlds in my lore, and I'm fairly happy with the results as a proof-of-concept.

It could do with much more additional features, and things like adjectives and conjunctions, but it works to demonstrate the concept.

Alright, it's my turn for a dream food creation. These came from the corner store I visit in my dreams. It's based on a real corner store but the interior changes every time I visit in my dreams. This time, they had a deli-style shelf at the front near the registers and were selling corner store pizza sandwiches like 7-11 pizzas, but designed like sandwiches. Instead of being essentially open-faced, each one had a crust where the dough was basically a long rectangle which could be folded over like a sandwich bun, with the ingredients inside. I bought three of them in this visit, one of each of three different styles.

One was topped with marinara, mozzarella, olives, pepperoni, placed on either side of the crust-bun, plus several layers of ham slices in between to make up the bulk of the pizza sandwich.

One was mayo and mustard, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, pepperonis, banana peppers, pickles, and swiss cheese, seemingly with no meat but it'd make sense if pepperoni was in there somewhere.

I don't remember the third one, because I couldn't decide between which of the other two to eat first and the frustration of the decision woke me up.

So I just fumbled a girl recently after talking for a week because I have the social skills of a person that frequents this subreddit. I am currently beating myself up over my generational fumble.

Here is one trope of heroes I really despise: they always get the girl. It makes sense that they can get the girl, pulling off heroic feats is good for aura. However, there are many girls aren't that impressed by heroic feats. They look for things like hobbies, career, how well travelled you are, humor, similarity in lifestyle, strong communication, emotional intelligence, compatibility, etc.

The trope is also harmful in a way, because a lot of guys think being a paragon of virtue entitles them to women. The entire genre of heroism is at its strongest when heroes do good things because they are good people. Even when a hero has a shit life, they still do their damn best. Getting the girl in the end kind of defeats that purpose. Every-time I wanted to resort to my lowest instincts because life was hard, I would think about Goku, Superman, Invincible, etc. Yet, every time I fumble with a bad bih, those comfort characters don't do it for me and I feel somewhat guilty for having fumbled the girl, because in the back of my mind I am thinking: "real heroes don't fumble chicks".

Imagine how cool it would be to see your favorite hero make a 9/11 joke in poor taste and scare off a girl in the talking phase.

It makes sense for heroes to have poor social skills too, because they don't spend enough time as normal people.

Mob Psycho is the closest realization to this trope, but it is somewhat unsatisfying having him as the best example. Full grown adult superheroes struggling socially is much more satisfying.

EDIT: Guys, she messaged back. Disregard this post entirely and everything I said.

Context:

r/okbuddychicanery is a fairly popular shitposting subreddit focused on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. They have a wide array of active mods and a huge number of users posting joke posts on a daily basis, which has led to quite a few unique memes and running gags amongst the userbase.

Because of the fandom, and the fact that this is the internet, many of these jokes can be crass, crude, or could be classified as rated 18 or above, and even range into the mild "hornyposting" side of things, such as jokes about the breasts of character Betsy Kettleman and/or her actress, as well as Kim Wexler's feet. However, the sub does not allow directly NSFW content (although this is not officially a listed subreddit rule) to controversy at times over what should or shouldn't be allowed.

Context #2:

Recently, one popular user on the sub began posting their Tiktok and sketch content which relate to an ongoing joke that this user is Howard Hamlin's daughter. It became a well-regarded meme due to the nature of the joke and commitment to the bit; however, the user is underage, which itself has sparked drama, whether from mods removing her posts and users disagreeing with that or other users supporting NSFW content on the sub despite the fact that one active user is now known to be an actual minor.

The Story:

Days prior, OP posted a lightly-NSFW drawing of an in-universe drawing from Breaking Bad titled "Apology Girl", which has since been removed by the mods and deleted by the user. In this post, OP posts another Apology Girl drawing, crying and SFW this time, apologizing to the mods, in a post titled Dear okbuddychicanery mods... I apologize..., and goes on to comment: > Context: a while back, I posted a rule 34 of Jane's apology girl. It wasn't even that explicit, just apology girl in her panties. Mods deleted it because "you can't post literal porn", even though it wasn't even really "pornographic" I was angry and stuff, so I just wanna apologize. I will never do that again mods, I will now try my best to draw guys, because I know you guys like men. Thank you, and once again, I'm sorry, please accept this apology girl

Here's where the drama begins. One user chimes in:

> we need to allow nudity imo, it holds us back from true CHICANERY

User #2 responds with a challenge question, leading to the first tirading:

> in the sub where more than half the posts are about some random minor???? >> you are so weird fr for that >> >> why does this even cross your head? you need to be banned frfr for even insinuating this

User #3 carries on the torch against user #1:

> You’re lowkey weird [user #1] how can you possibly say that after wanting to allow nudity??? Also you just keep defending these posts focused on this one kid. Like dude we’re not supposed to have main figures on this subreddit except if they’re grown ass adults >> yeah because it is weird. you spend too much time online it seems and that's because I've been into chicanery for the last 5 years and have even been here for the [unrelated user who was previously banned by r/okbuddychicanery mods due to unrelated-to-this-post drama] and even wrote the screenplay for breeding bad when Tuco is three times the size. >> >> the subreddit is okbuddychicanery. not okbuddy [name removed for privacy; refers to the user from Context #2, who is a minor having gained recent popularity for the bit where she is Howard Hamlin's daughter] is it? when I think of the subreddit, I think of chicanery. >> >> the user I was responding to doesn't like racism, sexism, rape jokes and what not but guess what? holly Nazi jokes ? kettlemilkers? bitch wife? WALT JR RAPING GUS? which black characters we hate? that's what does numbers on chicanery if you take a look at what's trending recently. like at the end of the day, it's chicanery. all of those things are literally trending. >> >> are you going to crazy on them too because of non family friendly jokes? 😭 like c'mon, what are you even trying to say?

But wait! User #4 also has an opinion to levy in regards to user #1's response to user #2's challenge question:

> You are completely delusional. >> not really. that poster acts like that's all that gets posted. check 99 percent of posters on this subreddit do not have any post like what they describe >>> Some of the biggest posts here contain sexual content. You can't deny that. >>>> duh, but this is a neutered version of the subreddit we had a couple years ago. >>>>> Good display of whataboutism right there. So because the Sub used to be even more explicit in the past (which I am not against btw.) now it's all fine and dandy and nothing matters anymore. >>>>> >>>>> It's a dilemma anyway. You can't protect everybody and today's kids already see tons of shit in the internet that I had no clue about at the same age (didn't have internet back then). Whatever the case, I just feel weird when scrolling through here, seeing all the footjob, castration and goon posts side by side with some teen girl. And I'm certain that I'm not out of line for thinking so. >>>>>> not just explicit sexually, you could do any type of chicanery on here before. just no nudity is a symptom of the over moderation on this subreddit. the subreddit is ok buddy chicanery. it lost its way

User #2 takes the opportunity to message in again and let us know what they think of this line of statements:

> why are you so persistent on having nudity in this sub when we literally have a minor responding IN THIS THREAD??? seriously? and you were talking about having me banned. lmfao. >> again you're so weird for even thinking about that >> >> I'm just proving the content isn't family friendly or something you understand. I don't even care or am talking about the nudity anymore. go to any of the top posts and how many are family friendly? why do you think that crazy post gets upvotes? >> >> again get minors off your mind, we're not even talking about that anymore. 😭 like stop. I'm just saying, you don't seem to get the comedy on here.

This latter shift came after an earlier part of the thread, in which user #2 responds to user #1 from their challenge question, sparking more criticism:

> honestly i’d be happy to be banned from a place that has no issue exposing minors to nsfw content >> what's your justification for the subreddit having stuff like this then? >> >> https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddychicanery/s/waP8DPaaRj [an edited gif from Breaking Bad, which has been altered to have the caption, "What would happen if Walt Jr randomly started threatening to rape Mr. Fring in this scene?", and has almost 600 notes and 7 heartbreak-shaped awards as of this posting] >>> sorry did i personally post that or encourage it? why would i need or want to justify it? its pretty fucked up >>>> like it's trending on the subreddit. because it's chicanery.

In another comment from the same initial question-response, user #2 also has this to say in regards to the user #0 described in context #2, this time pulling user #0's actual attention in the thread as a commenter, as well as further comments from user #4:

> bruh literally every other post i see in this sub is about that kid, made by people who are grown adults. because we obviously have minors here id rather not have any nudity allowed. why am i weird for that? > > like seriously? i need to be banned because i don’t want nsfw content in a sub that clearly has minors. what the fuck is wrong with you? >> I had that exact thought a couple of weeks ago but did not bother to ever point it out because seemingly everyone here acts so fucking weird about that Asian girl. We have posts and running gags about footjobs, castration, child murder and everything. Sex and gore everywhere. Nobody seems to care or consider. [This is user #4.] >>> i just really don’t understand anyone who engages in that shit and makes like edits and AI stuff of her it’s genuinely so weird and a slippery slope given the subject content of this sub. and as a girl who was once a minor on the internet there’s no shortage of creepy grown men who pretend to have the best intentions. [User #2 again.]

Here's where the thread splits, with user #0 (aka Howard Hamlin's daughter from context #2) chiming in and engaging with user #2 about post content and online safety measures:

> Indeed, some posts I find quite disturbing about me (and it’s not even funny) and some comments makes me so uncomfortable and confused. >> stay careful out there please. people are so weird. this sub is definitely not a great place for a child to be because of people like that. >>> Really? Oh no, but I love posting about the show and Howard Hamlin (aka my dad) here but I’m taking a break right now. I thought it’s just a funny shitpost place for the BCS and BrBa universe. >>>> it is all of those things you described which is why im in this sub too but id stay away from weirdos who advocate for more nsfw content in this sub when there’s already honestly so much (which im not fazed by as an adult but still don’t think should be encouraged in a place where minors are known to be) >>>>> Ok thank you, you’re right I should stay safe

Meanwhile, user #4 continues (in a split which also draws user #0's attention and commentary):

> True. I don't wanna come off as some kind of super pessimist and don't wanna paint the whole humanity as disgusting monsters, but like you said: it's a slippery slope, you can never know what goes on inside people's heads. > > And it's not even as if [user #0]'s (said girl) post weren't funny or anything. She is a good shitposter but I get the ick when scrolling through the comments. Sure, most of it is harmless fun but there already were some weird comments. And I always have that weird gut feeling when people act too friendly with a minor on the internet. >> I agree, some comments really makes me so uncomfortable but I didn’t want to point them out. >>> Didn't notice for a hot second who was responding to me here. In any case, it's a dilemma with no clear solution. >>> >>> Ban anything that is remotely NSFW? People will abandon the Sub and create a new one. Go all out and allow literal p*rn? Surely not. I'm not innocent here, I posted quite a lot of heinous shit because it's funny to tickle a reaction out of people with disgusting stuff. But I'm telling myself that at least I had the decency to not comment anything strange under your posts. >>> >>> Whatever, I hope you don't get too much weird stuff under your posts. Don't let 'em get to you. >>>> Ok thank you

For what it's worth, OP did not or has not commented or participated in the argument itself, only the original Apology Girl art which got removed, and had this to say in conclusion: > I just want an excuse to draw more Apology Girl rule 34 when this post gets ultimately deleted again

Affix-based marking for part of speech

Dragorean has distinct parts of speech, but individual base words aren't inherently inflected for any purpose. However, they do have a set of prefixes:

• yō-, yōdtá-, and yōdtâì‐ are used for the present, past, and future tenses of all verbs, respectively. When using this prefix, it doesn't matter if the verb is simple, perfect, continuous, or what, because the verb itself conjugates for those; it just matters that it is a verb. If another usage of the verb transforms it into a different part of speech, then it takes a different prefix by default to mark what it is in its altered form.
• ál- marks all nouns. Most of these are further distinguished by suffixes. -bā marks proper nouns for all inanimate objects, -mō marks proper nouns for all animate entities and objects, and the -wīsà/-wésâì pairing are the definite-indefinite articles. Sometimes these can double up, but they usually occupy specific orders in terms of where they're placed when stating all the affixes out loud.
• sū- marks all adjectives and adjective-related words. You wouldn't say a dragon is bák, or "big", you would say a dragon is sū-bák, or "big (and it's an adjective)".

Apart from that, adjectives are always considered comparative in Dragorean, even if it's not considered comparative in English or a different language. Something can be sū-áhōvíþ, or "nothing", but it can also be two increasing states of that adjective — sū-áhōvíþōlá and sū-áhōvíþōká, which are essentially equivalent to saying something is "more nothing" and "most nothing", respectively. They can also take on states of being like that adjective, which in all honesty is a bit of a comparison with English, because they adopted the English method of "-ness" as -nén to describe things which are the qualities of those adjectives.

So, ál-áhōvíþōlánén and ál-áhōvíþōkánén are words which mean "more nothingness" and "most darkness", respectively. Even words which seem, in English, to be absolute versions of themselves are comparative in ál-Dathzhad-bā by default.

Verbs

I really like the verb system I've come up with for Dragorean overall. It conjugates for twelve different tenses — simple, continuous, perfect simple, and perfect continuous versions of past, present, and future, in all iterations: -æź (simple past), -æk (simple present), -æl (simple future); -æźō (continuous past), -ákō (continuous present), -álō (continuous future); -ūź (perfect simple past), -ūk (perfect simple present), -ūl (perfect simple future); and -ūźō (perfect continuous past), -ūkō (perfect continuous present), -ūlō (perfect continuous future) — and also adds numerous prefixes as a result of the tongue's inherent modularity to serve as a rudimentary modality system.

A dragon could be merely yō-rōlákō, "jumping", but they could also be yō-váhrōlákō, "probably jumping"; yōdtâì-ōvōŕōlūlō, "repeatedly jumping (in the future); or they could even have been in the state of yōdtá-nūžŕōlæźō, "fatally jumping in a way which caused their death and/or serious injury (in the past)". (There's also the additional prepositional phrases — wūk, wūktū, nínk, nínktī, kíźk, and kíźktá — which can be added to further specify "in the present", "in the present (with others)", "in the past", "in the past (with others)", "in the future", and "in the future (with others)", but those are considered a matter of formality and only used when someone wants to be really specific about the tense and context to which they're referring at any given time.)

Verbal Adjectives

There's also a differentiation in Dragorean between what might, in English, be considered participles and what are, in Dragorean, definitely considered adjectives arising from those verbs. Where English might describe something as "a broken object", Dragorean has:

• ál-sū-gōŕōtán-źáj-wésâì — An object which has been broken broken in the past.
• ál-sū-gōŕōtīsī-źáj-wésâì — An object which is broken in the present.
• ál-sū-gōŕōtōì-źáj-wésâì — An object which has been broken/will be broken in the future.

As with the verbal affixes, only three, so they don't seem to conjugate/inflect for the twelve different canonical tenses of Dragorean verbs. No way, currently, to tell if something "is being that adjective" or "is that adjective". Maybe I'll fix that with even more suffixes later on. This is already a huge reworking from the way these same suffixes were used last time I posted about verbal conjugations. Maybe, considering that this new system adjusts for continuous tense with a simple -ō at the end, it could be as simple as -tánō, -īsīō, and -ōìō. I'm not sure. We'll have to consider it a bit more for that. I'd love the consistency, though.

I can be as thirsty as I want as a matter of personal and private business, and still be able to say "no thank you" to ever being with someone.

I feel like few people, especially in my IRL life, fully understand that. I've said no plenty of times, but (even as a guy-adjacent thing) I have to be very firm, because everyone gets weird when they find out you're not interested in physical relations with someone. It's like they expect everyone to constantly be throwing their ugly bits at each other and have that be the main focus of their life, so when someone just...doesn't care...

• I've been called a loser, a virgin, an incel, and a chud.
• I've been pressured whether openly, by "I'll get mad at you when you say no", or by manipulation I didn't realize was an attempt at sexually arousing me. (That one was by one of my own parents no less!!!)
• Most people think I'm not asexual but rather shy, pathetic, and lacking in self-confidence or self-esteem. That I need to be pushed into it or encouraged to do it.
• ETA: I've also been treated as if I'm angry, troublesome, rebellious; a horndog (which I am not); a dangerous ladykiller (which I do not want to be and don't consider myself interested in whatsoever); cold, distant, and alien simply because I refuse to emotionally engage with those who pressure me into something I'm not interested in, and seem to want to access feelings I've already informed them do not exist; childish, immature, and so adorable like I'm a shy little butterfly waiting to emerge from the cocoon; the source of everyone's anger when they get rejected by someone for the first time and seemingly can't understand why.

Why is it so hard to accept one two-letter word? It's just a word. "No."

"No."

"No."

That's all it is. Is it truly so scary to hear? So baffling to imagine? Apparently, for almost everyone in the world, it is. To me, it's scarier living in a world where your own parents are more likely to enable sexual abuse toward you and sometimes be the perpetrators of it just because, hey, at least then you're gettin' some like a real man am I right 😎👉👉

They're like "GG killer" and I was literally forced into it on multiple occasions. For the most part, I have to exaggerate and play the role of someone who actually is interested, and it's usually just because I feel too powerless in the pressures of society and too stuck with my own family and even my own friends who turned on me when they found out to keep standing up for myself that day.

I'm getting better about the whole boundaries thing. But it's fucked, man. Life is definitely worth living. Yay.

I've been working on Dragorean regularly, every few days, since September 2025 or so and I'm at the point where I know its phonology so well that I just kind of make any random sound-constructions into words just because it's fun to toy around with it. I started out basing a lot of words on real-language stuff and I still do that sometimes and now it's just, like, whatever I wanna toss at it. It's a constructed language so the words can be anything I want so long as it fits the rules of the language, which are also what I want them to be.

It's fun to just add in words that look a total mess but make sense in the language. Badhoga, asenga, runeidh, zroz, tath, kthabi, and ravok are all viable in Dathzhad. I haven't defined those yet, but I know fafi is a verb which means "to fear", koltha is a verb which means "to grow, especially via artificial or heavily-studied, laboratory-esque conditions", and "nah-nima fafiak ahovith, karij vadt zoj...oji mekhak nah-nim fafi oj" means "I am fearing nothing, except that object...it is making me fear it", and it's nice to be able to have such a good grasp on your own language that you can readily and easily translate memes into it when you have the right inspiration to do so.

What are some random words from your languages that you just have and/or phrases you love to toy around with?
