Dictionary ^^
What is the best tool to make a dictionary for your conlang?? I know it can be done manually but I do wonder if some online websites might be handier in a way
(apologies if this is tagged incorrectly, if so please lmk)

i haven't been here for years, this subreddit feels like so much changed for some reason
I find it hard to understand that languages can have 5 vowels. someone teach me the ways of making a less complicated inventory
consonants:
b p d t g k
m l n ng r w y f v s z š c č h
vowels:
a e i o u ã ẽ õ
is already very small for me so yeah tech me your ways.
In fact, this is not the only translation, it is just probably one of the most striking translations.
Yes, it is inspired by Turkish.
I really have to say that after one month of lurking around here, I really like this subreddit. The "casual" aspect is SOOOOOOOO much nicer than that other group that takes itself far too seriously and is so unwelcoming. Ovat tave vanderen! (great work friends!)

Simple enough. What words do you feel are absolutely necessary to convey any information? (Other than the semantic primes.)
Hello, I’m new here. I haven’t been on Reddit for a long time, so everyone unfollowed me, and I have decided to join a community that interests me. I’m hoping to be welcomed, let me know about any rules or traditions in the community (if it has any). For now I am just saying hello and willing to learn. Thanks! 🤗💚
The word aligner allows you to upload custom fonts for conlangs, but, my conlang, is a logography AND uses diacritics, so do I have to make a ligature of every combination?
Hello! I and a friend are doing a project for school. We have a few questions about conlangs and we're wondering if you could help us answer them.
Q1 what is your native language?
Q2 what languages do you speak (including conlangs) and to what level of proficiency?
Q3 what makes a language easier to learn (including conlangs)?
Q4 what makes a language more difficult to learn (including conlangs)?
Q5 what is the conlang you like the most and how well-known is it?
Q6 what is an element that you like in a conlang (from categories like; sounds, phonotactics, morphology, word order, etc.)?
Q7 when you make a conlang with a culture how does that culture influence the conlang?
Q8 when you make a conlang with a culture how does that conlang influence the culture?
Thank you for taking the time to help us and if you have any questions just ask.
This conlang is a logographic language but uses an alphabet for foreign names, countries, borrowed words and suffixes I wrote this on paper. Here I have an example of the logograms, basic grammar and phonetics
Grammar:
Zim - a
Ðæ - the
Som - some
Uro - a lot
Pauci - a few/less
Ídos - this
Í - these, those
Zo - that
Ist, ier, jam, vaz - is, are, am, was/were
Eich, mí - I
Ðou - You
Hei, heimus - He
Sie, siems - She
Wej, ous - We
Ðu - You (plural)
Ðej, ðejm - They
¿Te planteaste un propósito al comenzar a crear tu conlang? ¿Tal vez para usarlo en un universo narrativo? ¿Tal vez sólo por afición? ¿Tal vez para probarte si podías hacerlo?
¿Cuánto tiempo llevas diseñando tu conlang? ¿Cambiaste tu propósito en el camino?
Someone else did this concept a while ago, so I thought I'd do it again. I'll provide you with a passage which you can translate into your Germanic natlang or conlang so that we all can compare them side by side. I'll start with the first two sentences of the Nicene Creed:
Ich clôp ûf êt Côiʼ, de Fâte halmechti, sephe fo chimû un æde, fo hale dinge sichbôa un unsichbôa. Ich clôp ûf êt hæ, Iesus Christ.
iç kloːp uːf eːt koːjʔ də faːtə halmeçti sepʰə fo çimuː un ɛːdə fo halə diŋ-ə siçbɔː un unsiçbɔː | iç kloːp uːf eːt hɛː jeːsus krist
1SG believe onto one god DEF father almighty maker of heaven and earth of all thing-PLR sightly and unsightly | 1SG believe onto one lord jesus christ
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ.
Or any language that would be relevant to what's being said, really.
What the title says!
Originally, I had -wa- as an infix to create past participles. So for example:
turu (to continue) → tuwaru (continued, continuous, continual)
However, I've been wanting to change it; I just haven't had the insp.
So I ask you, how do you make your past participles?
((And share if you want your present ones! In Puca, it's just: thing_that_does.))
All the words may slightly alter depending on what part of the sentence they are in. The ones shown here are in blank part.
As a hobby project (admittedly mostly vibe coded) I have been developing a chat app that allows you to set a custom font for each message.
Originally made to allow users to write messages in obscure sign language orthographies, it works just as well for conlangs that use their own fonts, or alternative fonts for natlangs.
It also can be localized in your conlang. So might just be fun to have a whole app in your conlang.
This is very much a hobby project, so keep expectations low, but if anyone is interested in testing it out and making feature requests. Feel free to DM.
