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)

Hi, here is the translation.

In fact, this is not the only translation, it is just probably one of the most striking translations.

enjoying this sub

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!)

Word Aligner update after your feedback

I've been reading comments about my Word Aligner app https://aligner.tinygods.dev and identified some problems that users experience. So I've made some changes to (hopefully) solve them.

Now:

- added auto-fit. long phrases are automatically shrinked to fit the canvas. the phase is never broken into multiple lines. auto-fit can be disabled in style settings if you prefer old behavior (full manual control).

- the canvas is bigger now and supports zoom (ctrl + scroll on desktop, pinch on mobile)

- added mobile menu to avoid scroll to access controls

- interface layout is reworked

- token separators config is now more visible, also buy default only "|" is a separator

Also some new features:

- style presets with different visual effects

- more fonts and color palettes

- optional custom color selections for each group (from a palette)

- API, MCP and agent skill - you can install it using the guide from https://aligner.tinygods.dev/skill and ask you agent to create alignments.

As always, I'm open to your feedback in any relevant form and will continue to work to improve the app's usability.

What words are a must have in your opinion?

Simple enough. What words do you feel are absolutely necessary to convey any information? (Other than the semantic primes.)

Uva, inwa sani mupikitunda.

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! 🤗💚

How to make custom fon’t for conlang?

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?

¿Propósito de tu conlang?

¿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?

Let's compare our Germanic langs ig

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:

Veglish


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.

How do you say "I don't speak English" in your language?

Or any language that would be relevant to what's being said, really.

u/TeacatWrites — 6 days ago

How do you turn your verbs into adjectives?

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.))
