In the year negative a billion.

Oh this is what you're always mentioning when you say disaster lang

[xD] There is something intensely jarring and that messes with my thought train while attempting to read it - it's as if my eyes refuse to cooperate and I wind up with a horrid sensation like when you look at that upside down face picture. It's so alien, because I can read Latin text perfectly fine ...

This modern sample actually being the Breton language?

The amount you managed to come up with and write in only an hour is very impressive! Very nice work there!

«[w] is phonemically /ɰʷ/» Um, what? Isn't it always??

I feel like this is many of us here, but tough luck for me in ever actually managing to match any of them to that, they're always ten steps in a completely different direction!

I like that method, although how do you make it not be so tedious to do? Do you have a brush that you made to paint these mountains on? For my own paper worldbuilding once I get to the stage where I'm doing elevation I'll mark out mountains by just using peak symbols of varying sizes to represent th...

I think this could make a better translation challenge

oh is that why english has unpredictable stress

Has Micamo never shown you the wonders of Tlingit? Also I'm pretty sure Ubykh, with the largest consonant inventory without clicks, is polysynthetic.

I always look forward to new posts in this thread, all the stuff you do here is so cool and I can never do as much conlanging in as short amount of time as you can. Are you planning on having any V-initial languages in Yantas?

Are there populations on any other bodies? Is there a "planet X" out there which explains the odd orbit of things like Sedna and such or is it just coincidence? How far has humanity reached? What is Earth like?

Let's play the I-spy-a-cognate game!

Retla -> Tlapthuv
khu -> khu
pi -> pi
tgu -> tju
iplu -> plo
ki -> kikh
toṣ -> toṣi
ith -> thju
thṣu -> thju
ins -> eshwi

This seems to me a very odd and interesting language, especially since its main word order is OVS. Any ideas why this is so? Most of all I like that you're approaching it without doing the phonetics first, since 99.9% of langs just die after a small post on phonology it seems. why don't you come on ...

Do you know if they're mutually intelligible? And if so, how mutually intelligible they are?

A less pretty post, but also something that's been bugging me for a long time is that there are no morphophonological rules set in stone, but I change and mix around the phonemes in the verbs when translating into Himalian. Here is a preliminary set of morfofo rules: The vowel ë is inserted in a clu...

Finally getting around to hammering out Apaan's noun classes. just not sure whether mosquitos would be Class Three (prickly things, alongside hedgehogs), or Class Four (unseen things, alongside stonefish) Neat! Personally I'd put them in class 3, but depending on how many classes there are, 4 could...
