Re: Random orthography/orthographic ideas thread
Thank you for explaining the difference between a neography and orthography, it was appreciated. So, essentially, a neography becomes an orthography when it's "released to the public".

Re: Random orthography/orthographic ideas thread
You are misusing the word "orthography". "Orthography" is the way words are written in the writing-system native to the language in question. A conlang's orthography is the neography or con-script used to write it. Does this mean Cyrillic is a neography of Greek which was a neog...

Could you expand on the 'forms of a verb'. For example: does the tev affect tense, aspect, mood, etc.?tev wrote:In my conlang Vanya the cases of a noun and the forms of a verb are marked by articles, but has this system a name?

Re: How is this called?
Ok, I will tell you a bit about my articles. An article has a stem i-, then there is a plural marker, when the plural is used -r-, and at the third position is the case marker like -a for objects. Question: What function does the <i-> perform? I think moving grammatical elements (eg. articles) out ...

For Arabic it simply looks very elegant in the way you string the graphemes together.

Re: What kind of conlanger are you?
I'm a loyalist.
I have several conlangs I started way back when I was a teenager. Now they languish in a drawer and haven't seen the light of day in decades. Even though I haven't worked on them in years I haven't scrapped them. Maybe in the coming years I'll revisit them, but I'll never scrap them.

Re: English is Freaky
My main motivation was thinking about newbie conlangers (like me!) who, in the face of deciding how their lang should handle something, automatically assume the English (or other relevant L1) way is the default way. The trick to shaking this assumption is to see just how special your L1 really is. ...
