I made a joke conlang called goude ingliche that I made it entirely PHONETIC ENGLISH ahh clong...

For example: "I have thirty apples" becomes "Ey hev thirdi appelz" and "Clutterfunk is harder than xStep" becomes "Klaterfank iz horder dan Ex Step" 🥀

In this conlang, everything is phonetic. And btw the voiceless th is still th and the other is d for some reason 🥀

And this ahh sentence: "Electroman Adventures is hard that zoink won't beat it at the very first attempt." is in Lagunish: "Electroman Adventures soìa hardè theit zoink noto vincèda er en tha primèra atternta." Meanwhile in goude ingliche: "Ellektromen Advuntchurz iz hord dat zoynk wont bit it at da furst attemt."

How many out of 10 does this clong deserve?

I made a short story in Lagunish called: The Eleventh Train, Thi Onszègt Logdan.

English: It was 7 AM, and I was waiting for the train that sends me to work. Ten trains came by, and none of them was the one I ride to work. The eleventh one, that has a number of 197, came and I rode it with my friend. After thirty minutes, it reached my company, and we both got out and took the elevator inside the company, and we were ready to work.

Lagunish: Er eteia siept hoerent di therdisè, ide chò etei weitint per thi logdan theit synda chie ro deta. Decimà logdans logdein thrò, ide notonòm di ert eteia thi onòm chò gonterie ro deta. Thi onszègt onòm, theit avoià ir rhonèm di raturrotrexcaddecimsiept, logdeia ide chò gonterei er wied chi riesle. Ivtòr triscà minoten, er rićia chi companì, ide nos dothrì giteìm ogt ide trinteìm thi lethiryn irecite thi companì, ide nos eteìm riedit ro deta.

Yes, Lagunish has a lot of compound words. One of them is dotsegreil, and it means parallelogram. It literally means two-side-parallel-each-shape or in Lagunish greil di egr dota segt parallelìt, and its shortened to dotsegreil. (dot-se-g-reil) = dota-seg-egr-greil. Another one is forirond for circle, and it literally means round edges. Also thereothiry for wise speech (therei+thiry) and rodiface for angry (rodë+face / red+face) are perfect examples.

Tell me the most interesting compound words in your conlangs.​​​

In Lagunish, there is a lot of words for colors....

And they are: rodë /'rrœdē/ for red, wedlow /'vedləv/ for yellow, dagnàm /'ddagnām/ for blue, virde /fir'də/ or grën /grēn/ for green, ponsè /fon'sē/ for pink, orangcolora /oran'kollo'rrā/ for orange, whitīr /vitīə/ for white, ienith /yə'nīθ/ for black (can be used to represent 'dark'), grey /grēy/ for grey, blīrd /plī'əd/ or teloga /'ttelogā/ for brown, and ticher /ti'tchəɹ/ for purple. Cyan is cyan /sā'yən/, and indigo is indigo /indīgœ/.

In Lagunish, the words for geometrical shapes are long, like over 7 letters, but some are short and basic. The word for a triangle is cherieszè /tʃərāye'zē/, meanwhile a square is nomig /'nœmāy/ A pentagon is pentagona, a hexagon is hexagona, a heptagon is heptagona, and so on. A parallelogram is dotsegreil /dœtsə'grāyl/, a diamond (shape) is called a losenge /'lloʃən'gē/, and a trapezoid is called either trapesoīd /tra'pī'zōwīd/ and theronogreil /θīrono'grāyl/, and a rectangle is called rictagreil /'rrictə'grāyl/. Circle means either forirond /fœri'rrōnd/ and cirgla /'ssirglā/ .And 'greil' stands for "shape" in Lagunish. Seg /səg/ means side, rie /'rrāye/ means angle, fora /fœra/ means edge, dweiga /d'vāyga/ means corner, and cintere /'ssinte'rrē/ means center.

In Lagunish, I made a decimal counting system and numbers from 1 to 10 are: onòm, dota, tris, noma, napmò, sixe/sizes, siept, rotre, noin, decimà. But for the number 11, I chose onszè (on- and -szè) and 12 is doszè, 13 is trieszè and so on. But for 17, 18 and 19, I put decim- then the number, like decimsiept for 17. 20 is devingti, and 21 is devingtionòm, and from 22 to 29, I put devingti then the number but I repeated the first digit twice like devingtinnoma for 24, and it works with also 30 to 80: triscà, nomcà, napmocà, sizexcà/sixethcà, siepticà, rotrexcà, like nomcassiept for 47 or siepticannoin for 79, but for 90, it is rotrexcaddecimà and numbers from 91 to 99 are: rotrexcà-onszè, rotrexcaddoszè....rotrexcaddecimnoin for 99. (Because the numbers get merged, and if the second number in the word was 1 like in 31, triscà-onòm, it doesn't merge. But in 21, it merges because in Lagunish, the I and the o merge because it's easy to read as in devingtionòm (21) /də'vaintiyənōm/ or in rotriothre (multiple of 8) /'rrœ'ttiōθrē/, but in triscà-onòm for 31 /trisca-'ənōm/ its separated because a and o don't fit together. But in gaot for goat, the ao is pronounced 'aw'.) And 100 is ratum, and 200 is dotratus, and 1000 is milenà, and 1000000 is pimaln, and 1 billion is miliàr. Say the numbers in your conlangs and how the number system works.

"Clutterfunk is the eleventh level in Geometry Dash and it is known for its hard sections, especially the final cube section. It is rated Insane, but it looks harder a bit than an average Insane level."

In Lagunish:"Clutterfunk soìa thi onszègt nievèl ire Geometry Dash ide er soìa celebrè per irr hardè sectiest, especiatì thi cubòn-sectie finàl. Er soìa rateda Ingrated (Insane), piòdt er soìa hardèir pidet dièn ir avirathe nievèl Ingrated.
