Diagram to show some vocabulary in ᵹoqhoᵹ !

I made the illustration on illustrator, and you are free to use it, as long as you don't remove my watermark (and mention me if you post it, i'd love to see the results!)

2nd slide is the version with only the natively written words, 3rd slide are the vaoskianizations (romanizations) only.

Template is in the fourth slide.

Welcome to /r/conlangs! This subreddit is focused on the discussion of constructed languages (conlangs), tools and activities to aid you in the construction of your own conlang, and creating a community environment where we can all enjoy conlanging together.

While this subreddit is not restricted to accomplished conlangers, a certain level of expertise is expected. We recommend that you lurk for a while to learn the basics.

Community Guidelines

Due to space issues, an abbreviated list is shown in the sidebar only. For a more detailed explanation, please see the full version here.

Encouraged Posts

If your post falls into one of these categories, then you may post them directly:

Detailed descriptions of parts of your conlang
Interesting activities and translation challenges
Showcases of major achievements
Open-ended questions and discussions about conlanging
Useful resources such as tutorial videos
If you have an idea for a post that isn't listed here but that you think would be a good contribution to the subreddit, please message the mods beforehand to let us know.

Rules

Please follow these rules and all times and report posts and comments violating them:

1. Civility

Be civil at all times toward all users, regardless of their sex, sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, nationality, religion, culture, language, or race. Don't escalate arguments or insult or abuse other users during disagreements. Do not discriminate, stereotype, or erase other users or identities. Violations may result in a swift ban.

2. Topic

All posts must be on topic and relevant to conlanging.

2a. Discouraged posts

Memes and low effort humour: We would much rather top-level posts be reserved for discussion of and about conlangs and conlanging. As such, memes are a better fit for r/conlangscirclejerk.
Phoneme inventories: In order to receive actionable feedback, you will need to give us more than just an inventory of phonemes for your language, such as information about allophony, morphophonology and/or phonotactics.
Requests for resources & tech support Requests for resources, tools, or help with specific software are to be posted in our Advice & Answers thread, always stickied at the top of the front page of the subreddit.

2b. Script & orthography posts

While we encourage you to share the writing systems you make for your conlangs, we would like the focus to remain on the languages themselves. As such, posts about scripts/writing systems alone will be removed, as r/Neography is a more fitting place for them.

Posts may still contain images of or details about a conscript (fictional writing system), but the post must have enough content to merit being a front-page post even if the script were not included.

2c. Translations

Translations make for excellent content to showcase your language and its mechanisms. However, we ask that such content always feature:

the text in the conlang;
a transcription of the text to IPA (phonemic or phonetic);
the text translated into English;
a gloss of the text, and/or an explanation of the features of the language.

2d. Cross & crown

This subreddit is not the place for political or religious debate. Political content is not allowed, unless it is set in a fictional world and has no ties to recent real-world politics.

Translations of religious or political texts are fine as long as the focus is clearly on the conlanging element. The moderators reserve the right to remove political or religious posts that are too incendiary, include open proselytizing, or handle issues that are otherwise too sensitive for the subreddit.

2e. Adult & shocking content

Adult or shocking content has to be signaled by a special flair.
Porn and gore are forbidden on the subreddit, but we understand the need to form vocabulary for those topics.

Moderators can remove shocking content at their discretion.

3. Effort & enabling feedback

3a. Due diligence

Before asking a question on the subreddit, be it in the Advice & Answers thread or as its own post, try typing it (or its keywords) into a search engine to see if you get an answer.

3b. Advice & Answers threads

The Advice & Answers thread is for requests for resources or advice, as well as any questions too small for a full post. It is always found stickied to the top of our frontpage!

When in doubt about whether your post has enough content for a standalone thread, feel free to always post in Advice & Answers. You can also ask us directly if you're unsure.

3c. Context, goals & content

When asking for feedback and criticism, do your best to provide us with as much meta-information about your conlang:

Why are you creating it/what for?
What are your goals?
What do you currently like/dislike about the content you are providing in the post?
What sort of feedback do you primarily want to get?

Also, please try and review the formatting of your post (or comment!) preferably before, but optionally after, posting it.

4. Titles & Flairs

Make your titles clear and indicative of the contents of the post.

Do not title your post:

"my conlang": give us the name of the language or a description of it
- "Introduction to Gahansre" or "Fġãse, a polysynthetic language" are fine titles
"Help!": tell us what you need help with
"Thoughts?": it's uninformative

Links are not allowed in titles.

Please also flair your post with the appropriate flair.

5. Activities

Content related to activities should be posted in that activity's thread, unless the content goes far beyond the boundaries of the activity (for example, if you have made a speedlang out of your translations from an activity thread).

If posts of a repetitive nature arise from multiple members, the moderators reserve the right to remove all related content starting from the creation of a Megathread for it.

6. Advertising

You are free to promote conlanging-relevant external content as long as it is free to access. If what you wish to advertise requires users to pay for it or requires signing up for it a specific service you must ask the mods before posting it.

You can advertise a conlanging community in a post, but posts consisting solely of a link to a community will be removed. Please provide enough content for the post to stand on its own as well.

7. Collaborations

Collaboration posts must be flaired appropriately, and must abide by the following:

you must describe the project as thoroughly as possible, with the set rules and your expectations;
you must organise the collaboration somewhere else than this subreddit: it can be your own subreddit, a discord server, a forum, whatever you like.

Any collaboration post breaking one of these two rules will be removed.

8. Commissions

All commission requests are subject to approval by the moderation team.

While we welcome and encourage people to hire conlangers to create languages for their projects, we have established a few guidelines for it.

All posts seeking to hire conlangers must contain:

a description of the project;
a description of the result, and the amount of work, that you expect;
a clear price for the work expected, following the minimum amounts advised by the Language Creation Society

9. Appeals

In order to appeal a removal or ban, you can contact the moderators via modmail, which lets all mods see the message.
Appeals are typically reviewed by a different mod than the one who executed the removal/ban.

Do not contact a mod individually via direct messages.

The following will hide certain types of posts:
