r/conlang

Hi fellow conlangers :)

I am Fede, an italian conlanger and I am looking forward to sharing and discussing my first conlang with y’all.

Its name is “Is-Prišk”, meaning “The Language” and it should be spoken by the Čemeks, the inhabitants of the Čemek Empire, situated on the continent of Magna Terra Orientalis (in Is-Prišk “Ňeki Vješehi Guis”).
This conlang is synthetic (system consisting in 11 cases), has no gender (which is stuck to the concept of the words) and only 2 numbers (singular and plural).
The verbs have 2 aspects (imperfective and perfective), 3 tenses (past, present and future), 5 moods (indicative, infinitive, gerund, participle and ottative) and 3 diathesises (active, passive, reflexive/reciprocal), which can show via affixation (pre-, in- and subfixes).

The conlang has its own writing system, the “čemki abyced” or “is-priški abyced”, but outside of the worldbuilding context it also supports extended latin (as you have seen) and extended cyrillic.

Here comes an example of the conlang, written both in latin and cyrillic scripts, and translated:

Iž-žjofal juvjutaja zalkalt vauskyldzabyčilšfa is-skirsigen čemekje

Іж-жёфал ювютая залкалт ваўскилsабичілшфа іс-скірсігэн чэмэке

The flame of love will never be extinguished in the heart of the man.

Today I was interested in the idea of how languages like Lidepla, Globasa, Esperanto, Toki Pona and others acquire native speakers.Because it's very interesting because few people want to waste their time, but with, for example, Esperanto won't help you travel much, but it's still being taught. I don't condemn Esperanto. I'm just interested in how artificial languages get native speakers. So, anyone who knows, please tell me.I would be glad to hear your help.

Hala modj ena! I wanted to share Limingo, an artificial language I’ve been working on.
I am Korean high school student; so, the grammar might be affected by my language; Korean.

It is designed as an international auxiliary language (Auxlang) for knowledge sharing, daily conversation. My goal was to create a simpler alternative to Esperanto.

1. Phonology & The Dual-Layer System

While the language permits a broader, natural phonetic inventory for vocabulary roots to keep them recognizable, it enforces a strict minimalist constraint on its morphology:

2-a The Grammatical Core: Only open syllable contained with

• 7 First Consonants (k, n, t, r, m, p, s)
• 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u); contained with j (short i) and w.
• 4 Final Consonants; (nasal*, s, f, l), It makes a sound permanently.
• *nasal consontants (n, m, ŋ) are considered as a single type of consonant, written as "n"

are allowed to appear in grammatical affixes and inflections.

2-b. Grammar & Free Word Order

• Free Word Order: Syntactic roles are determined entirely by final vowels and specific inflectional suffixes.
• The Benefit: because these suffixes only use the 7-consonant core, language learners can instantly distinguish between the radix and its grammatical function, no matter how complex the vocabulary gets.

2-c. Grammar Fuctional Particle

Most parts of speech are determined by vowels

• -a: Nouns and interjections {Kana = me (나)}
• -e: Predicates (observed by whom other than the narrator) {ex: moge = eat (먹다)}
• -o: Predicates (what the narrator observed or felt) {ex: bene = good (좋다)}
• -i: Adjectives {ex: modi = every (모든)}
• -u: Conjunctions {ex: otu = very (아주)} {ex: nu = and (그리고)}

these 5 vowels are symbolic, but 4 Final cons. can be attached to the very end of the word.
Exception: monosyllabic word is just a grammatical vocabulary (not following) the five-vowel rule.

3. Origin of the Radix (Root of Word)

I tend to include vocabulary from Latin, English, native Korean words, etc.

4. Examples

Kana / tos mogo / modi / al mandua / nu /
tos goro / otu palu.
= I / ate / all / mandus / and / walked / very fast.

i tried posting a few times and i got hate on my post and it got taken down, i posted here a few seconds ago, and i reposted my post to r/conlangs and the dumbass ai had me make too many changes to my post. apparently, you cant ask for advice on a post, you have to comment on this other post to ask for advice where i doubt anyone will answer me. this place is way better in contrast to r/conlangs

hello, i am trying to make a germanic celtic conlang, you read the title, you know that, but anyways, i would like a good proto germanic translator, (and a good proto celtic translator). does anyone know a good translator? i plan on making an old version of this language and aging it up with sound changes, and new influences. making grammar is going to be hell for me as a man who recently got into languages.

Please note that everything listed is my personal opinion, which may not coincide with yours or be similar.

As a language creator I am very interested in artificial languages I have noticed one small problem with artificial languages there is no reason to learn So, let's say I learn some arbitrary language, what then? Let's compare it to Esperanto, for example.

Esperanto: It has literature, history, support.

But you know, the problem isn't in the support or the history, the problem is that there's no literature, you can't improve it in any way because if I learn Esperanto, then I'll read something and I'll understand, yeah, I don't understand this. I can learn it, but this is a problem with many artificial languages, namely, the absence of something, at least something, but this is a problem with many artificial languages.

By the word literature I don't mean a complex thick book. I mean at least songs, poems, or at least something. You can suggest your own version.

It seems to me that only a few conlangs overcome this limit.

🌐 Qolan — uma nova língua em construção

Estou começando a desenvolver uma nova língua chamada Qolan. O projeto ainda está em uma fase muito inicial: por enquanto, o idioma ainda não possui palavras ou vocabulário definidos, mas sua ortografia e seu alfabeto já estão sendo desenvolvidos.

A ideia é construir uma língua com uma identidade própria, especialmente através de sua fonologia, sistema de escrita e evolução histórica. Ainda há muita coisa para decidir e desenvolver, então o Qolan está longe de estar pronto.

Pretendo continuar trabalhando no idioma e, aos poucos, desenvolver sua gramática, vocabulário, fonologia e outros aspectos.

Também estou aberto a ajudas, ideias e sugestões! Se você tiver alguma proposta interessante para o Qolan, será muito bem-vinda. 💙

Qolan está apenas começando.

🌐 Qolan — a new language under construction

I’m starting to develop a new language called Qolan. The project is still in a very early stage: for now, the language doesn’t have any words or vocabulary yet, but its orthography and alphabet are already being developed.

The idea is to build a language with its own identity, especially through its phonology, writing system, and historical development. There is still a lot to decide and develop, so Qolan is far from being finished.

I intend to keep working on the language and gradually develop its grammar, vocabulary, phonology, and other aspects.

I’m also open to help, ideas, and suggestions! If you have an interesting proposal for Qolan, I’d be very happy to hear it. 💙

Qolan is just getting started.

🌐 Qolan – eine neue Sprache im Aufbau

Ich beginne gerade damit, eine neue Sprache namens Qolan zu entwickeln. Das Projekt befindet sich noch in einer sehr frühen Phase: Die Sprache hat bisher noch keine eigenen Wörter oder ein festgelegtes Vokabular, aber ihre Orthografie und ihr Alphabet werden bereits entwickelt.

Die Idee ist, eine Sprache mit einer eigenen Identität zu schaffen, insbesondere durch ihre Phonologie, ihr Schriftsystem und ihre historische Entwicklung. Es gibt noch vieles zu entscheiden und zu entwickeln, daher ist Qolan noch lange nicht fertig.

Ich möchte weiterhin an der Sprache arbeiten und nach und nach ihre Grammatik, ihr Vokabular, ihre Phonologie und weitere Aspekte entwickeln.

Ich bin außerdem offen für Hilfe, Ideen und Vorschläge! Wenn ihr eine interessante Idee für Qolan habt, würde ich sie sehr gerne hören. 💙

Qolan steht erst am Anfang.
