I used to be a stranger 7,993 August 6, 2014 Share August 6, 2014 (edited) Why would I wanna borrow one.1. People who study languages and have been more carefully thinking about them for longer will be able to construct more technically correct, thematically detailed and poetic languages. Many of which you could simply choose from, if you ask their creators politely. 2. It's less work to borrow with permission than to invent it yourself. Moreover, as I said, a borrowed conlang has a higher chance of being better in quality overall. This is coming from a guy who has a friend that's studying language, and is inventing a tonal conlang inspired by Polynesian types, Mandarin and Elvish.

Astral Blitzen 469 August 6, 2014 Author Share August 6, 2014 You're starting to sound like a jerk by telling me that I don't have the skills to create my own language. I am thinking about mine. Right now I'm just brainstorming. If you were an expert linguist, then I might take your advice. 1 *Slurping up a pink whale through a big straw while in a swimming pool filled with trash and some kinda gravy*.

I think you mean you don't want to rip someone else off, not when you can make your own. I respect that. You've also made good progress with your language so far.

IceeBrony 251 August 6, 2014 Share August 6, 2014 It depends on how much effort you want to put into it. A lot of created languages just end up being cumbersome. I'd recommend either putting plenty of time and effort into it or only a very minimal amount of the language. A good 1000 common words and some grammar rules isn't a bad idea. Or just a couple displaced nouns and adjectives. If you fall in between, there are going to be inconsistencies. People love to point that kind of thing out Associated person/tool - zr' + noun/verb Fighter - Zr'ragxem Place - ky' + noun Forest- ky'derdendi Character Adjective - Syz' + noun/adj Dead Syz'exak Diminutive - X'sk' + noun Little monster X'sk'azek Augmentive - Maux' +noun Big monster Maux'azek Inhabitant - Kyzr' + noun Ketaznsian Kyzr'ketazns Negative - Za' + noun Unhappy Za'cerximz For " zr' " are you saying that "ragxem" is like a sword or something and that "zr'ragxem" is like "person of the sword" thus meaning 'warrior' ? Similar question about " ky' " " kyzr' " zr' looks like it might be "person of..." and ky' might be "the place of...", so kyzr' could be "the place of the people of..." Is " Syz' " like a title, as "Mr."? " Za' ", " X'sk' " and "maux' " seem fine. I would be a touch concerned about being able to pronounce some of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just improvised this ^ as part of my brainstorming. Once I start working on it more, the language will begin to take a less "globular" shape. Here is a VERY rough draft of the alphabet so far.
