I hosted a speedlang many many many moons ago.
I was busy. I'm still busy. I have had pockets of not-being-busy. It's been a year. Let's talk about it. Sorry if I don't have a lot to say, I'm not great at reviewing conlangs.
I, er, did not have the chance to finish (i.e., start) my own submission.
There were 8 submissions in total (I think. If I missed any, sorry.). Yippee!
Sowí (Speedlang 25) by u/eclectomagnetic
I like the worldbuilding, the evolution from Koùi, the pharmeceutical potential, and the olfactory terms. I too am máruí-.
Xacha // Submission for the 25ᵗʰ Speedlang Challenge by ElectricalMulberry40
This one also has some evolution from a proto-form, which is nice. Could use more example sentences, I suppose, just to see the various morphology in action.
A rough grammar of Tógua by Jamie Li ~ u/li-li-putian
The formatting feels familiar somehow...
I like the split in number- and possession-marking, as well as the periodic tense markers for monsoon-related periods.
Sīmiupliākar by heaven_tree
I like the two classes of adpositions. The various meanings in the lexicon showcase are also nice. I like when words have numerous meanings.
Grammar of Fach language by Sepetes
The different dialect groups is neat. So are the various noun derivations. I also like the 'beginning of a story' and 'old story/myth' markers.
A documentation of the Nemkahusit Language by SomeoneRandom5325
Relatively short, but it has potential.
Qalmış // Speedlang #25 submission by u/SorajimaAsugawa
Lots of plurals! I love associative plurals, and the added associative derivation is a nice touch. Polysemy between day/night and warm/cold season is also interesting.
Vecheś by the Crab
This one also has familiar formatting... (I'm flattered, really, but it's kind of an uncanny valley feeling, you know?)
Very griddy consonant inventory, very nice. The moon phase periodic tenses are very cool. Love when people make stuff up. Which is, like, 50% of this hobby (the other 50% is stealing).
