Some more Path conlang ideas.
Nihility
"Meaningless" morphemes that pad out the ones that have actual meaning and lead to the utterance being spoken longer for the same amount of information to be conveyed.
Negative statements being the default.
Alternatively, the past only being in the negative and future in the positive. In other words "I didn't do it" vs. "I'll do it later".
Equalibrium
Sounds only forming palindromes.
Different sentence transformations based on symmetry types (Reflection, translation, and rotation).
All words having at least two different meanings or forms.
Erudition
Sounds comparable to dial-up internet or old computers.
An unnatural mixture of Descartes philosophical language and Ithkuil.
Compacting of information by having each phoneme be tied to a meaning.
Tons of inflectional morphemes for nuanced meanings being added to a word.
Honkai: Star Rail Path Languages.
I was hit with the idea of an Aeon and Emanators of a path speaking a language unique to that path that might not be found anywhere else in the setting that could be used for Aeon-to-emanator and/or emanator-to-emanator communication and embody that path's philosophy. For Example:
Destruction being made from the remaining fragments of other languages of the speakers who dedicated their lives to this path. In other words, the members' languages get reduced to a specific phrase that is only used in that context alongside of the other phrases from the other languages used in other contexts. Hopefully, this gives the language of Destruction a patchwork feeling similar to how I head-canon the followers and Emanators' aesthetic being similar to Nanook, a kintsugi patchwork/hodge podge of pieces barely held together yet working exactly as needed. There is also the possibility that morphemes in this langauage are incredibly long and use destructive morphology to reduce the word till the inflected form is shorter than the root form. Perhaps the "roots" are composed of other roots all glommed together with subtle differences of meanings depending on how the fragments are arranged before being conjugated.
Propagation being a self-permutating language that changes with each generation of the Swarm that is born. That an individual's language can be used to trace their lineage back in different branches. That all idiolects have different forms based upon which stage of an individual's lifecycle is being perceived and/or experienced. Not to mention that all of them have a metric-ton of derivational systems to allow new words to be created for new concepts the swarm comes across.
Abundance has roots that start out small but then collect morphemes that make the inflected forms even larger the more concepts a speaker wants to express with that word. Like trees, each morpheme has a unique word form when inflected that makes it unique and require memorizing. Perhaps sentences in the Abundance language act like actual trees in that each utterance can branch off other ones and create a fractal of possible sentences and speeches that are somehow spoken at the same time.
That's about it. I don't know if I will also cover the languages of the various planets, species, and/or groups of the setting. Granted, I was tempted to develop Adventurine's people's after reading more about the Avgin on the Wiki. Also, the Trailblazer is able to understand all of these languages... for some reason, lol.
Still, I have always had that drive to create languages for god-like beings and I feel surer of what those languages could be like with the Aeons than anything else. Perhaps expanding this project further could give me insight to making the languages of other such beings from other franchises as well.
Anyways, this is all I have to say for now. I might come back to this. Till then, I will share this with all of you HSR fans and fellow conlangers in the hope that at least one of you would feel inspired enough by these ramblings to expand on it (just link me the ideas when you do).
With all that said, I wish you all a pleasant day. Take care and till next time... ;)
