The CBB

For the 4th time in two years (give or take), I have remade Northlang. Each version of Northlang has been spoken in the northern continent of my first conworld, hence the name. This conworld is likely to be redesigned in the future; the name is no more than a title which connects it to its predecess...

That was a fantastic story! I hope I can get my conlangs to a point where I can write in them soon, it looks really fun.

<x> for an alveo Are you against using X or C for the alveolo-palatal sibilant? I use X in Hapoish, Quispe, Txabao, and Javartu. Oooo, <x> could look quite nice. I usually dislike it for /ʃ/, but as in this case I think it tends more towards [xʲ] it could work very well. Thank you! You're welcome! G...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I realized that Ruykkarraber's name is invalid ─ it should be Ruykkarrasber. Then I realized that I've been inconsistent overall with forming compounds, and I considered scrapping Ruykkarraber (and with it, Rü’ravesh and Hejísas), which could be a good idea anyw...

Using passivization in the future tense is a really cool idea! I might have to try something like that in a lang soon.

Yeah, having easter eggs for people who supported you is really fun for both them and you. I have a lot in Ruykkarraber, but I didn't make a note of them so I'd have to dig them up. I have dug them up (and added a couple new ones): aser name (from my new name) batag to admire (from an abbreviation ...

This is a really sweet post milestone celebration, I love it :)

I hate false awakenings so much. Like every single one of my nightmares involves them. At some point I got good enough at recognizing them and becoming lucid to stop them but recently my nightmares have started getting better at counteracting that. The standard formula for my nightmares is: start dr...

I brought up to Arayaz yesterday that I've "made" conlangs in my dreams before. In the first one, I heard someone (possibly me? It was too long ago to remember) reading the sounds of a Conlang. Here are the sounds I heard: /m n/ /p p' t t' k k' ʔ/ /t͡s t͡s'/ /s/ /w l y/ /i u e a/ If my mem...

I see 3,201 topics in the Conlangs subforum, not 3,200...

Weird. I still have 3,200.

Not conlang related but this is the 3200th topic which is pretty cool!

Hello conlangers of the CBB !! I don't post a ton here, especially about my conlangs, but Arayaz encouraged me to make a scratchpad so here it is! If you don't know me, my name is Sketch, I make languages sometimes. I'm calling this Scratch's sketchpad because its funny. My current biggest conlangin...

I wasn't even sure what quinoa was until I looked it up because of this conversation. From some descriptions I found it seems like Id probably like it, at least a bit.

The name Arayaz originated when I was 12, playing a simple puzzle game called "pipes" online. (I googled it just now and it still exists !) I got a pretty good time and wanted to submit it to the "Hall of Fame." (It's still there, 3175th in the world for 4x4, after all this time...

It means "winter"? Makes me think of the AJR song Dear Winter 2.0 . The opening lyrics are "Dear Winter, I hope you like your name." Ooh I love that song ! Had you heard it before? (If so, are you a fan of AJR?) Or did you just listen to it now? I have listened to it before, and...

The user formerly known as "shimobaatar". (she) Congratulations on your new name! Is it pronounced like "zymurgy" (with /ai/), or like "Zima" (with /i/)? Ah, thank you. I'm not sure if this is the best thread for this, but anyway, I pronounce it as /ˈzimə/ or /ˈzɪmə/, ...

Kinda rushed because I don't have a lot of time at the moment but my guess is

Oooooh I can't wait to see that!

Totally unrelated (/j) I have continued my learning of Viossa after a fairly long hiatus! Hiii! Add this to the list of coincidental similarities between us? I've got some more similarities! We both live in the American South and we also joined the CBB on the same day (September 6th, 2022). (I also...

(I also started working on 'ai'u again but thats not as comedic)
