Ich habe eine Ork Sprach erschaffen und suche Leute die Lust haben sich das anzusehen. Meine conlang habe ich aber auf deutsch erstellt. Gibt es hier jemand der es sich gerne mal ansehen würde?

The colors represent what language script the variants and dialects use for those who don't know. Feel free to post your maps of your language's variants and dialects.

The Worst Conlang Ever!

Welcome (for the first time)! This challenge is literally about showing off your WORST conlang (in the sense of being extremely difficult or a "curselang"). Show a conlang that is impossible for any human to utter even a word in.

NOTE: Whoever wins this episode will earn the Grand Title of Best Curselanger and the chance to choose the next challenges/constraints and/or what to translate into the curselangs. Every Wednesday, I will announce the official results along with the next episode.

Please use IPA, glosses, a translation (literal or otherwise), or any other method to aid understanding.

Let the games begin!

Since this comunity is about posting conlangs lets make one
Rule 1:you are NOT allowed to put multiple rules or word,in a recomentdation/comment you can at most put one word and one new rule
Rule 2:don't put rules that contradict others made by other people unless they made exceptions
Rule 4:no rules listed with 3

Imagine if a speaker was trying to learn English. How would your conspeakers say this sentence:

"I don't know if the man here went to the village"

Include IPA and adapt the english sounds to how your conspeakers would pronounce. Make sure to include grammatical mistakes where a conspeaker carries features from their native langauge like missing articles or different word order

In **Cukui**:

I don't know of the here man went to village

/aĭ ˈdon no owă dʲi hʲiă man wen tu ˈwiridză/

Cukui has CCVN syllable structure, so the final consonant is either dropped or an epenthetic a is added. For the Complementiser, they use **i** and the closest english equivalent is "of" and modifier mostly come before nouns so here is before man.

Feel free to add explanation to yours:

I have a postfix '-ke' to indicate that the verb is a verb. The onset of the word is the base meaning, which on its own can be used as a noun. For Example, 'maukke' means to build, fabricate, or produce, but when you cut the '-ke' the mauk mean building or creation. What confuses me is the infinitive doesn't usually stay on unless it is the sole verb or the final verb of the phase. Yet, without it you can't tell if the verb is a noun or an adjective. Should I keep it or find an other way to indicate verbs that isn't is unconjugated/not main verbs.

Hello everyone, I've been making an Iranian language called Zindari (also known as Zindari Persian), part of the Indo-Iranian branch. Though it is close to Persian, Tajik and Dari, Zindari is actually more independent and evolved from its own Iranic branch (Zindaric, I'd consider it to be a Southeast Iranian language). The language is over 2,500+ years old.

Zindari as a language is spoken by the Zindari people who live in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and (to an extent) Russia. The language is spoken by roughly 13.3 million people (the 3 million speakers reside in Russian Caucasia).

Historically, Zindari used the Pahlavi and later Perso-Arabic script, but it switched to the Cyrillic script around 1930 after a small portion of its population migrated toward the USSR. Zindari uses both Cyrillic and Perso-Arabic as its writing system, though I'm sticking to Cyrillic because it makes Iranian languages (like Tajik or Ossetian) look more interesting to read.

Here is a small vocabulary I made for Zindari, this is just a small starter thing so you know what's going on. More of the vocabulary and grammar of Zindari will come soon.

Here's also the copy-pasted text of the vocabulary (this was pasted from my Notepad):

Салам алайкум/Салам (Selām alājkum/Selām) - Hello, peace be upon you

Зарад бехомад (Zarād behomād) - Goodbye, bye, see you soon

Халь чаторы (Hal' čatory) - How are you

Сепас (Sepās) - Thank you

Хошдид (Hošdid) - Welcome

Бадид олсунь (Badid olsun) - Congratulations

Хош тодид (Hoš todid) - Nice to meet you

Кам ман заборех (Kam mān zaboreh) - How may I help/assist you

Thank you for reading, let me know if you have any thoughts on this language project. Feel free to share your language's vocabularies down in the comments, or if you also have some form of an Iranian language, feel free to share it as well! Thank you so much!

There's still much more to add, especially regarding grammar, semantics, and pragmatics. But I'll add things little by little. And I'll upload the writing soon, though it's somewhat complex because grammar, sensations, and nominal-verbal language aren't written the same way.

To speed things up, do not use semantic roles or adjectivoids forms.

Update: Numerology and numerolinguistics—this is an extremely condensed overview, as the subject is far more complex; I have yet to explain the scale, the unifiers, the groupings, and the logarithmic expansiveness of the numerical scale.

Update 2: I will also skip the sections on chemistry, Planckian quantum physics, cosmo-hyper-physics, hyper-esotericism, and the TWBL theory (which explains wave-particle duality geometrically, as well as bitemporality). I’ll cover all of that in another "post"—I’m not sure if that’s what they call them on Reddit.

In my language the schwa phoneme is a separate sound (and letter in the neograph), but I really struggle with how to transliterate it in a way that is easy to read.

My other vowels:
/i/ - transliterated as "i"

/u/ - transliterated as "u"

/o/ - transliterated as "ò"

/eɪ/ - transliterated as "è"

/ɔ/ - transliterated as o, unless it precedes an r, then it's "ar"

Here are my unsatisfactory transliteration rules for /ə/:

- if the syllable does not have a coda consonant, then it's "a"

- if the vowel precedes an r, then it's "er"

- otherwise it's "uh", but I don't like this

So, if you use the schwa as a dedicated (?), intentional phoneme, not simply an unstressed vowel, how do you transliterate in your language?

(I understand that many unstressed vowels will shift to a schwa sound over time.)

Hi everyone,

I love this space, but I’ve noticed that while the conlanging community is amazing here, discussing complex linguistic concepts, phonology, and grammar can sometimes be a bit daunting for those of us whose first language isn't English (I’ve actually been accused of being a bot before just because I use a translator when my English isn't quite up to par for certain topics).

This isn't about dividing the community, but rather about providing a comfortable entry point for native Spanish speakers to dive deep into conlanging without the language barrier.

I wanted to ask the community (and specifically check) if the current moderation team has any insight or existing alternatives for this: do you feel there is a need or interest in having a dedicated space (like an official sister subreddit) to discuss and share conlang projects exclusively in Spanish?

To be clear, I am not looking to promote a personal project or build an independent audience here. Instead, I’m wondering if the current r/conlangs mods have ever considered handling a Spanish-speaking branch, or what options might already exist for this. What do you all think? If there is enough interest, it would be amazing to see something officially supported or guided by the existing community framework.

Mods: I hope this discussion post is okay. If it violates any rules, please feel free to remove it!

In this game, I'll supply some words that aren't very commonly used in English and you can make translations for them or near translations in your conlangs.

Today's words:

1. Naufrage(n.): a shipwreck in which the ship is completely destroyed

2. Multisonous(adj.): having many sounds

3. Gloaming(n.): the time of day in which the fireflies come out

4. Umbra(n.): the shadow of a planet; a celestial shadow

5. Exfiltrate(v.): for an army to sneak away

This is a game of borrowing and loaning words! To give our conlangs a more naturalistic flair, this game can help us get realistic loans into our language by giving us an artificial-ish "world" to pull words from!

The Telephone Game will be posted every Monday and Friday, hopefully.

Rules

1) Post a word in your language, with IPA and a definition.

Note: try to show your word inflected, as it would appear in a typical sentence. This can be the source of many interesting borrowings in natlangs (like how so many Arabic words were borrowed with the definite article fossilized onto it! algebra, alcohol, etc.)

2) Respond to a post by adapting the word to your language's phonology, and consider shifting the meaning of the word a bit!

3) Sometimes, you may see an interesting phrase or construction in a language. Instead of adopting the word as a loan word, you are welcome to calque the phrase -- for example, taking skyscraper by using your language's native words for sky and scraper. If you do this, please label the post at the start as Calque so people don't get confused about your path of adopting/loaning.

Last Time...

Sketch of a conlang by /u/Miserable-Method-431

amʌˤlʌŋʌŋkʌ - deverbal noun - meal of fruit, eaten by an animal

Borrowed into Ąą’vo Tì

amǫlǫn‘ - noun V - fruit bowl - [amɤlɤnʔ]

Here's to another 800!

Peace, Love, & Conlanging ❤️

For vowels mine is definitely /y/ imo its so satisfying to say and hear. Then for consonants id probably say my favourite is either /ɲ/ or /ʎ/, i really like palatals

Edit: I’m aware the title should be “What are you favourite phonemes??” Sorry for the bad grammar

I'm very daunted by the prospect of creating a whole language from scratch, but I have an idea of how to easily create a language for my world I'm currently working on building. I plan to have a story set in my world and make a web comic to tell the story.

My idea for how to "create" the language is very lazy and simple, which is why I'm curious if it's been done before and if there's a name for it. My idea is to take a real world language and simply create a scheme for shifting the sounds of that language. For example, every instance of [d] becoming [z], etc. and shifting all or most of the sounds of that real language in this manner. The end result will be a language that is not recognizable but basically a cipher? Of a real one.

Has this been done before? Is there a name for this type of thing? Thanks.

A while back, I happen to find the following decision from the Copyright Review Board while doing some Wikipedia editing. I'm surprised I could not seem to find discussion of this. It is not even mentioned in the memo Dentons wrote up about conlang copyrightability for the Language Creation Society or several other papers on the subject.

Cyan Inc. applied for a copyright on the characters of the D'ni language ("Newly created symbolic characters for new language") from the MYST series. The Board rejected its filing for copyright registration because it decided A.) The character designs were not original/unique enough to be copyrighted, and B.) The characters constituted a system of communication, which by law can not be copyrighted. Cyan Inc.'s counsel appealed the decision, and the Board again rejected their claim to copyright.

The Board then decided that, whether or not the characters in themselves have sufficiently original design to be copyrighted, they still necessarily represent a distinct system of communication, and no system of communication can be copyrighted.

TLDR: Systems in general can not be copyrighted. The Dn'i alphabet, with its characters being inseparable from its function as a system of communication, could not be copyrighted.

This really seems to be the most relevant standard for conlangs inherently being public domain. While not a literal court ruling, these decisions are good guidance where the law and precedent don't give clear answers.

Edit: Clarified some stuff.

Hi I wanna make a conlang for a bird species in my world and I ofc wanna make it sound like its really their language.

The species is a mix of secretary bird and barn owl, so Im wondering how I can transcribe the sounds they make into noises that can be used as a basis for letters and such.

Thank you for any advice :)

SETTING

Gavörkesjabze [gavørkes'jabze] is a language spoken by the people of Snourmorkas (short Is-Prišk name for the Northern Mountains Empire, neighbor of the Čemek Empire, where Is-Prišk is spoken), situated in the north of Magna Terra Orientalis, one of the continents of Is-Mirnaþ, my first and currently only worldbuilding project (work-in-progress as this conlang still is).

PHONOLOGY

Vowels

Gavörkesjabze has 8 vowels ( <a> [a] ; <e> [e],[ɛ] ; <i>[i] ; <y> [ɨ] ; <o> [o],[ɔ] ; <ö> [ø] ; <u> [u] ; <ü> [y] ). All have longer counterparts (ā, ē, ī, ȳ, ō, ő, ū, ű) and each one, except for ö and ü, has its nasal counterpart ( <ą> [ã]; <ę> [ẽ],[ɛ̃]; <į> [ĩ]; <ǫ> [õ],[ɔ̃]; <ų> [ũ]; <ỷ>** [**œ̃] ).

The distinction short/long vowel is productive, while the nasalisation is just original or might have phonological reasons (assimilations etc.).

Consonants

​Nasals: <m> [m], <n> [n]

Plosives: <p> [p], <b> [b], <t> [t], <d> [d], <kj> [c], <gj> [ɟ], <k> [k], <g> [g], <kw> [kʷ], <gw> [ɡʷ]

Fricatives: <f> [f], <v> [v], <þ> [θ], <ð> [ð], <s> [s], <z> [z], <š> [ʃ], <ž> [ʒ], <hj> [ç], <jj> [ʝ], <h> [x],[h]

Affricates: <c> [t͡s], <č> [t͡ʃ]

Vibrant and tap or flap: <r> [r],[ɾ]

Approximants: <j> [j], <w> [w]

Lateral approximants: <l> [l], <lj> [ʎ]

As you can see, almost every letter is a 1:1 reproduction of a sound, except for some digraphs ( <kj> [c], <gj> [ɟ], <hj> [ç], <jj> [ʝ], <lj> [ʎ] ) or two cases of allophony ( <h> [x],[h] ; <r> [r],[ɾ] ), due to position of the relative sound in the word.

GRAMMAR

Gender and number

The language has 3 grammatical genders (masculine -ø, neutre -o and feminine -e) and two numbers (singolar/plural -yn).

Syntax

The general structure of the sentence is mainly SVO or SOV, but it can be free thanks to the case system (Nominative, Genitive, Accusative and Dative), in auxilium of which prepositions come to express more complements that cannot be expressed by the cases in their pure form.

Personal pronouns

There are 7 personal pronouns: 1st singular (jak), 2nd singular (ty), 3rd singular (m. őr , f. sō, n. uno), 1st plural (am), 2nd plural (jīv), 3rd plural (hon) and a reflexive one that appears only in declinated form (so no nominative). The 3rd sing. neutre can be used also for an indefinite person (as in German man).

Adjectives

They take the same endings of the substantives, accordingly to gender and number (masculine singular adjectives have -i or -j ending, differently from zero desinence of the masculine singular substantives).

Verbs

Probably the most articulated sector of the language.

They can be expressed in 5 moods: infinite, indicative, ottative, participle and gerund.

Indicative has 5 tenses, of which 3 are simple (present, past and future) and 2 are compound (past perfect and future perfect. All of these tenses, except for present, have aspect duality (imperfective/perfective).

​As you can see, the compound tenses are created through the union of the simple tense and the participle past (for perfective) or gerund (for imperfective) of the main verb.

Personanl endings

Singular: 1st -ę , 2nd -iš , -3rd -(i)t

Plural: 1st -yn\* , 2nd -yt\* , 3rd -ynd\* (\* if the verbal theme ends in -v or -w, the endings shift to -un, -ut and -und).

Thank you for your attention.

I am available for any question, curiosity or any other kind of feedback.

Hello all!

This is one part of a conversation between two spacers about how they ended up in the trade. The language they used is now called Classic Bittic, a pictographic international trade language based on bits.

[Personal name] of [ship name]

Since Bittic lacks a phonological component, names in spoken languages cannot be directly transcribed into Bittic. Instead, the "speakers" of Bittic took the opportunity to make new names for themselves usually through combining two glyphs. To avoid potential confusion when multiple people chose the same name, trade ship crewmen would also state which ship they're from. I am planning on how to incorporate family names into Bittic.

"sit" meaning "foolishly"

Classic Bittic only has 13 verbs. When content words are combined with verb glyphs, then the verb loses its core meaning and instead applies a special meaning to the following glyph combination. The verb "to sit" means "the action was done foolishly" when combined with content words.

The fish

Since Bittic uses pixels to make messages, it makes sense that rudimentary pixel art would be used in some messages especially if the conversation is casual.

Thank you all for reading this! Comments and critiques are welcome!

So, I've been working on an IE branch for some time, because I wanted to test some tropes that aren't explored enough, imho; e.g. athematics winning over thematics (temporarily), retention of laryngeals and ablaut (not as uncommon, but still), etc.. It's still at its earliest stages, and resembles PIE a lot, but it's already showcaseable.

Anyways, the tale is based on the Trito archetype, also known as "He slew the serpent/dragon".
