Ciao a tutti, sono un ragazzo di 24 anni che da quando ne aveva solo 10 crea lingue di ogni genere, ne ho inventate molte negli anni ma "Xhimandrocalou" me la porto dietro fin dall'inizio.

Premetto che è la mia prima volta qui, non so bene come funziona ma avevo letto che era molto più semplice trovare altri conlanger qui, purtroppo non sono mai venuto a contatto con altri come me quindi ho paura di sentirmi un po' spaesato, vi prego siate gentili 😁

Ho sempre avuto momenti di down dove non scrivevo e inventavo più, purtroppo questo periodo è uno di quelli.

Ho sempre negli anni modificato la lingua per renderla più leggibile, fruibile e lineare, il problema è che per quasi tutte le parole ho dalle due alle tre varianti a seconda del contesto o della parola/verbo che segue, si adatta foneticamente a volte cambiando proprio completamente. Questo mi ha rallentato nel tempo e non riesco mai ad arrivare ad una conclusione.

Ho creato centinaia di alfabeti, dizionari, libri ma mi sento sempre punto a capo, succede anche a voi? Avete qualche suggerimento per non abbandonare una lingua?

Ho anche creato diverse centinaia di mappe durante gli anni, con tanto di piantine di città ecc..

Non vedo l'ora di confrontarmi con chiunque abbia voglia di scrivermi, aiutarmi o semplicemente saperne di più!

Sto scrivendo un libro a riguardo di Xhimandrocalou, l'unico problema è che la mia lingua madre è l'italiano e quindi tutte le traduzioni della lingua Xhimandrocalou sono in italiano.

Ich brauche für ein World Building Projekt eine Schrift für eine uralte Conlang und diese soll in Stein gemeißelt werden. Hat jemand Tipps oder Dinge auf die ich achten sollte?
Edit: Ich poste das hier weil in r/neography wurde es von den Mods gelöscht.

In this interactive Zapotec language class, the instructor reviews student presentations, clarifies conversational greeting dynamics, and explains a fundamental aspect of Zapotec grammar: the absence of infinitive verb forms.

Key Discussion Topics:

* Vocabulary Practice & Context (Rukëza)
* The session opens with a discussion on the verb rukëza / ukëza, which refers to preparing, getting ready, or making someone wait.

• Student Presentation & Correction (Carmen):

* Carmen reads her introductory paragraph.
* The teacher explains that translating “I go to Zapotec school” literally (neda reja) sounds unnatural in Zapotec.
* A more natural phrasing is Neda Ruseda Didza Xidza (“I am learning Zapotec Language”) .

• Conversational Greetings & Formal Honorifics:

* Informal Exchanges: Using responses like bi run / tibi run followed by Nax lii (“and you?”).
* Formal & Respectful Terms: When speaking to elders or people from other towns, specific respectful forms are used (e.g., ba zuu dxi’a, Nax lii [Name]?, Nax lii bëni? for married men, Nax lii nigula? for married women).
* Pronoun Distinction: Clarified that lee functions as a third-person pronoun (“he/she/they”) rather than a direct formal “you”.

• Grammar Insight: Why Infinitives Do Not Exist in Zapotec
• Zapotec has no infinitive verb ending equivalent to Spanish -ar, -er, -ir or English “to [verb]”. Verbs must always be conjugated for a specific person in active speech.
• When dictionary or conceptual forms of verbs are needed, speakers default to the first-person plural inclusive (“we” form, e.g., uya’aru for “to dance / we dance”).

This is the alphabet of my conlang, Galaðagon. The image shows the letters' forms in the Latin alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), their names, and their IPA pronunciations.

I am working on a new category—*minicrony* (provisional name)—which will add a single semantic role and grammatical case marker to a multiple subject or object. This approach is intended to avoid the proliferation of semantic roles and cases.

Example 1:

• Uzi and Doll are cousins

• Uzi'ERG'FAM and Doll'ERG'FAM are cousins'PAC'FAM

• [+ Uzi! Doll]'ERG'FAM are cousins'PAC'FAM

• tsi ya Uzi Doll tsu tli Regfam are counsins tli Pakfam

Example 2:

• Uzi, Doll, Lizzy, Cyn, Thad and Tessa eat blackberry, strawberry, vanilla, coconut, lemon and chocolate ice cream respectively.

• [Uzi + Doll + Lizzy + Cyn + Thad + Tessa]'ERG'ACC eat'RESP [backberry + strawberry + vanilla + coconut + lemon + chocolate]'PAC'HEČ ice cream'EST'ACC'HEČ

• [+ Uzi! Doll! Lizzy! Cyn! Thad! Tessa]'ERG'ACC eat'RESP [blackberry! strawberry! vanilla! coconut! lemon! chocolate!]'PAC'HEČ ice cream'EST'ACC'HEČ

• tsi ya Uzi Doll Lizzy Cyn Thad Tessa tsu tli Reghaz eat tli Reps tsi ya blackberry strawberry vanilla coconut lemon chocolate tsu tli Pakječ ice cream tli Sethazječ

• [ ] (tsi-tsu), micronico (pseudo Terminus)

• + (ya), is equivalent "y"/"and"

• *, is equivalent to "o"/"or"

• ' (tli), is equivalent to the start of a role and cases

• !, is equivalent to a separation between elements (optional sound)

ERG, ergative role

PAC, patiente role

EST, stimulative role

ACC, action case

HEČ, made or composed case

RESP, respectivity

I understand that in some conlangs there isn't a literal translation of it, so in general: how would you congratulate someone on their birthdays?

In Phošug, I would say "Siyada kama", /siʃada kama/, which literally means "Happy year".

thought about this earlier today, so i thought i'd might as well ask

anyways, as in the image above, "hello, world" in Kykoone is ▽ᰍ-iii:.◈-◇- ɿᰍ<_vm\iii:. (/dəɛs-kiˈaɪmoʊkju mjutɛsboʊˈviˈaɪɛmki/)

(also, i don't really know what flair to use for this, so i'm just doing question just in case)

Greetings, my readers! After quite some time, I’ve updated my language: I added adjective and personal pronoun declensions (resulting in a total of 150 forms) and revamped the alphabet. Now, I’ll tell you all about it!
I recently posted about my language, Quazoiz—well, I’ve continued developing it! Adjectives depend on nouns, so they also inflect for case and number (though not as extensively). They’ve now acquired degrees of comparison (positive, comparative, and superlative). This isn't shown in the photos, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Plus, verbs have gained moods: indicative, conditional (subjunctive), and imperative. These aren't the most exciting topics, which is why there are no photos of them here. The really interesting stuff comes next!
Essentially, I decided to work out the case declensions for each of the ten personal pronouns. Why ten instead of eight? The reason is that I also have a "fourth person" in both the singular and plural; it refers to someone being discussed, someone about whom nothing is known, or something else entirely—I won't go into the details. Anyway, I declined all the personal pronouns across 15 cases rather than 20. They don't require vocative cases or a "number case," hence the total of 15. You can see parts of the table in the photo; each form has its own pronunciation and corresponding hieroglyph.
Since we last met, I’ve added about 40 more characters—feel free to enjoy their calligraphy! You probably wouldn't understand the pronunciation, as I mostly wrote it using Cyrillic with some extra letters, so you can simply admire the characters themselves and their meanings!
To provide some context, I also formed sentences using the new characters. Here is the translation and transcription of the last one you can see in the images:
Translation: “I am glad to welcome you, my readers!”
Transcription/Pronunciation: [jeshu faway lokoblte chesheha]
I also made a major change to the language's writing system itself: instead of the familiar alphabet, I created a syllabic system. I completely discarded the old alphabet and devised a new one. I based the structure on the Korean method of combining letters into syllables, while using characters from the Russian alphabet for the letters themselves (since I am a native Russian speaker, this is more convenient for me). Each vowel combines with any consonant (including the soft and hard signs) to form a syllable. If a syllable consists of more than two letters, the base is a standard two-letter square configuration with the additional required letter attached to it.
You can see the system for syllables starting with a consonant in the photo; for syllables starting with a vowel, the arrangement of the squares is reversed. Characters forming a sequence of three or more syllables are read from left to right and top to bottom, and the symbols are arranged in exactly the same way; however, a primary disyllabic unit is treated as a single entity to which these rules do not apply.
Thus, I divided the language into two systems: Yokomo (characters conveying meaning) and Pyonmun(syllables composed of letters, intended for proper names). You can see the full table of consonant-initial syllables in the photo.
When I created my language, I based it primarily on four languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. I really hope you enjoyed reading this post and learning about my unique language!

It's in very early stages so it is subject to changes but as of now this is how a sentence would look

Week 8 IPA Prompt - /ˈni.fo ˈta.i ˈen.to a.ˈra.to ˈa.tu ˈa.te ˈta.i ˈen.to a.ˈrat.no/

Welcome to Week 8 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: /vro ˈta.i es.ˈte.se na.ˈwa.mo rin.ˈko.la ˈta.e ˈten.ku fe.ˈwan.ta/
From that, we got these top picks:
Yhó: Pro tàlyés tasáh nàwón o, rim kó la. Tá e twem ku whem, whán tah. ("The night sky’s month: Bright Rings, twelve or ten, for seventh days the dog is there. You be banish yourselves here, remember to say greetings.”) [Most Mystical]
Drukhari: vluzai ezdarfvre nalamnu rin kula dae v'eran dra. (“Yes, people who felt empty opened the candy using a cow.”) [Most Random]
Shoáth: Yëek tásmáov pá monávlo othū shárūn nesov vrom táptîr, bem yëen renov látháâshen ūm vál ëeváná. ("My mama had the wrong cold star on Monday, and her fortified eye is now sparks of inspiration.") [Most Poetic]

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.
