#conlang shitpost

[tower-of-hana]

Conlanger: technical, cringe, gives people actual information about what you do, "So you're like Tolkien?", only specific people know you're queer

Child of Babel: cool, mysterious, sinister, sounds like you're in a cult, what do you do? speak in tongues + do orgies probably, makes the right angry, "Do you worship Satan?", aura of gay homosex

[trashshouldnt]

i wanna make auxlangs for the most random assortment of countries, that would be fun

[bodyhorror-bimbo]

A girl sent me a flustering message written in her own conlang script…. She’s luckily I’m gay enough to spend the hour translating it.

Lol.

There should be a conlang community but for math. I wanna see counting with factorial base systems and people make up symbols for increasingly useless numbers. Maybe this can make some calculations more intuitive and others much more cursed.

See, I cannot understand why the Noldor didn't just switch to Vanyarin Quenya after Thingol banned their language which leads me to the only possible conclusion that it was because it preserves the "th" and they found their inter-clan squabbles more important.

Dumb conlang concept: A pansemitic language. Meant to be like the East's equivalent of Esperanto.

So yeah here's my source, I made up wan too tee for by borrowing one two three four, there's precedent for coda consonants being marginally present (yumm-wah for a nasal and bar-bar for the rhotic) there's also a word starting fl- but I'm not borrowing three as flee no way. Anyway here's a word-per-word translation:

(One) me not bad health

(Two) me not bad health

(Three) me not bad health

(Four) ME NOT BAD HEALTH

Y'all out here making proper nouns that align with IE naming conventions for your fantasy worlds while I'm getting the mad head that was foretold from a fair maiden named /ɴŋɣʛɰɤʜɕ/.

Oh god please don't try to pronounce /ɴŋɣʛɰɤʜɕ/.

The two genders

"I do not read any alien languages"

Things I just said to my child that some of y'all cannot say

[bobcat-pie]

Me in middle school: I'm gonna design an alphabet... For my shapeshifting four-armed aliens that live inside a sphere of ice and water!!!

Me later: Welp, this isn't seeing much use. I'm just gonna use it for generic magic runes/secret messages in my art.

Me in freshman year: Hehe i made up this fantasy race based on olm salamanders. And they have six legs, like mythical salamanders! Might as well use my alphabet for them!

Me in college now: Haha what if i made those olmfolk into a sci-fi alien race called Proteans... and these shapeshifting four-armed aliens that live inside a sphere of ice and water use the same alphabet as the olmfolk, i guess...

waitasecond.

Word construction for my shitty and unfinished conlang.

Caircosi.

Language structure based heavily on English. Cause I’m lazy. But also very long compound words for no real reason, cause I thought that was neat.

[okhnid]

truly a conlang

[verdantachillean]

We have seen duolingo adapt into many genres and formats

Sci-fi, sitcom, constant comedy, almost love island show, comic, the classic educational app, that one duo dance, and song along with it,

What’s left for duo to adapt?

RPG

That would go SO HARD,

Just some MMORPG,

HOWEVER, of course, you level up by learning

CHOOSE YOUR CLASS

🗣️linguistic languages (idk if I described that right): most subclasses, classic non-magical DPS focused

🧮mathematics: Focused on creation, blacksmiths and alchemists, higher crit chance

🎶music: Magic, support, and charisma, each song is its own spell, persuade others, inspire others with your songs

My personal headcanon for the sixth Doctor is that when he's bored he makes conlangs. When he's bored and in a bad mood he has tea with Tolkien and mocks other people's conlangs.
