Kindly.

Anyone had any success putting a conlang on a college application supplemental? Is this a good idea? What about a conlang related story on a college essay? Etc.

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.

Week 6 IPA Prompt - /ˈta.e a.ˈre.hi mos.to.ˈen.ro ˈta.e fain.ˈto.la/

Welcome to Week 6 of Bad Interpreters, the chaotic conlang game where meaning is optional, phonetics are misleading, and everyone is absolutely confident in their terrible linguistic instincts.

Last week's prompt: /sto.ri.ˈnu.o u i.u.an.ˈte.la ˈi.ki hi u ˈolt.no a.ne.ˈro.la/
From that, we got these top picks:
Shoáth: Eshtor ëenūo ūm îshū án telop yëek îkîū plotnáát nëemrolá. (“Give a circle! This is you smiling on my phone call. You blink; friends have stains.”) [Most Sentimental]
Mogahgo: Sdôhdvi, anold elisgi. Ôsmomê lolê. ("Together with the mountain, are all fish calm 6 times? The home would move 9 times.") [Most Random]

How to Play

1. Decide what the prompt means in your conlang.
2. Translate it using your phonotactics, grammar, and cultural flavor.
3. Explain your questionable reasoning.
4. Have fun!

If you have any ideas for interesting phrases or sentences for the next week, let me know in a DM! This activity will be posted on weekly on Wednesdays.

Cākuon

Cākuon (pronounced Chaakuon) is a character based language.

It uses the latins cript, but individual characters or pairs of characters have meaning,

and words arise from stacking characters.

The grammar is:

The sentence structure is SOV.

To make a verb past, you conjugate the characters x to it. it means past.

To make it future, you conjugate nx, n is negation / opposing, x is past.

To make it habitual, you use ax, where a is the meaning for all, and x means past.

To add an adverb, conjugate it at the end of the verb. order of adverbs matter.

You can use a copula ('ø') after the main verb with a space to show continuous.

To make a noun plural, you use conjugate it with ō at the beginning after the number

adjective if its there, where ō means plentiful or many.

The "the" article is ā (different from noun ā). It can also be used for "that".

For "This", it is "ē".

When you want to use an adjective, conjugate it to right before the noun.

Order of adjectives matters.

Adjective type isnt given in glossary, but it is to be inferred.

Adjective types play a role in how you place them. Here is a basic order:

Number | Quality | Time | Position | Interrogative | Base Noun

For Adverbs the same, but:

Base Verb | Number | Quality | Time | Position | Interrogative

Multiple morphemes can occupy the same slot.

Prepositions come after their owner noun or verb without a space.

The owner noun is the noun that is inducing the effect or being effected by the preposition.

Pronunciation guide for consonant clusters:

dx -> /dʒ/ (like 'j' in jump)

rx -> /xː/ (prolonged, breathy 'khhh')

xġ -> /xg/ (breathy 'kh' building into a sharp 'G' burst)

br -> /ʙ/ (voiced bilabial trill—lip-vibrating 'brrr')

km -> /kᵐ/ (nasal-released 'k-m', swallowed in the throat and released through the nose)

sv -> /sɸ/ (sibilant 's' gliding into a bilabial blow/puff)

fv -> /fː/ (prolonged, heavy voiceless 'fff')

Welcome to Word Wednesdays

For this activity you can pick any word you want whether it be a verb, noun, or adjective, and conjugate/inflect in all possible ways*, for tense, case, plurality, perspective, etc.

The purpose of this is to learn about cases and how words are slightly or vastly different under different cases, tenses, or perspectives. In many natural languages verbs or nouns are often changed because of the words around them. In other languages, the reader has to figure out number and perspective based on context. Who knows, maybe you can take inspiration from someone else's conlang!

How does your conlang handle cases? Do you have any unique ones that don't exist in natural languages? What are some irregular verbs or inflections that exist? How did they evolve? Do you think that the cases would hold up or fade away in future evolutions? Do any of your words when inflected have another meaning? What languages inspired you to add these cases?

*If you have way too many conjugations/inflections, you can share the simplest ones or the ones you find the most interesting. If you don't have any conjugation,

Have fun conlanging!

I’m quite interested in the “final product”. How do one organizes all of the documents, sheets, tables and so on in a single document that you can show to other people and they would be able to understand?

##"I found my favorite knife."

As in, he identified which of our knives he prefers; not that he lost and found it.

—my boyfriend

"Just put your hand in mine and be reborn in a blink."

"Tell me what those legs are for? You could use six more."

For example in agglutinative languages where mutliple affixes are used on the root to produce words. Are affixes that convey a certain type of grammatical information like tense, aspect, mood, case and etc, more likely to occur closer to the root word

Like for example a language has multiple suffixes that for maybe no. 1 case, no. 2 tense-aspect, 3. mood. If you could attach all those at once is there a pattern for which one would go directly onto the root and the next onto the 1st suffix and so on?

When I am mad, I say "МИ СУ ТЬО КАКО" meaning "I'M SHITTING ON YOU", usually telling that to AI assistants.

Secavo is a passion project that I've been working on since January of this year, 2026.

It has 13 consonants, v, x, p, q, b, d, c, k, h, j, s, n, and m, along with 5 vowels (including closed variants, 10), a, e, i, o, and u.

It has a VSO (Verb-Subject-Object) word structure, so a sentence would be read as 'Eats he an apple'.

It has pronouns, about 250 words (currently expanding), and a writing system that can be written like print or cursive. I will always be more than happy to give more information.

Thank you for taking your time for reading this. :)

Dimovishe iedias om je. :)
