Making a conlang inspired by Irish (Gaeilge)
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm starting a project of a conlang based off of Irish, or Gaeilge.
I have been living in Ireland for a long time now, so the Irish language holds a special place in my heart.
I remember explaining some basics of the Irish language once to a friend of mine from America, and he replied with something like: this looks like something someone would make as a joke to confuse everybody.
And yes, the Irish language can be like that. Random vowels slotted into syllables to match with the word, sometimes deciding to declinate nouns, other times not, etc. It's almost completely random to an outsider, even to native speakers.
So yeah, I just wanted to try a similiar concept. I simply want a language that is as confusing and counterintuitive as Irish, without going over the top either. Aesthatics and usability of the language are still crucial to me.
