Pony Conlang

[Gamerninja 79]

I love conlangs and 3 days ago i started working on a pony conlang (Note : Not a naturalistic one! dont expect it to be extra realistic) and i thought i could make a post here about it because why not?
My favorite thing about is that instead of a gender system masc/fem/neuter it has common/pegasian/monocerous, inspired by this old post :

Syntax : It has a SVO(subject-verb-object) word order and adjectives, adverbs, possesive pronouns are placed before the nouns/words they modify
Phonology : This is actually my first time doing a conlang´s phonology and i´m not good at it so i just copied slovak´s phonology and changed it a bit

Google Doc about it : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lxiW4UQH2GUSIqXCwzcqEOUeXg4q0QexQcCGoiV08H8/edit?usp=sharing
Also one day i plan to make a changeling conlang designed to be mutualy understandable by ponies speaking this pony conlang and vice versa

and i just noticed i have a grammatical error in the conlang´s name XD welp time to change it everywhere i put it

I added colors and potential names for the mane six in the conlang
Unlike in english the noun and adjective forms of colors are seperate words
(Hopefully i can post updates like this here, idk if a blog would be better for this)

You should rewrite the declaration of independence in your language, might be a good way to test out the vocabulary/fill in more words!

Yeah i´ll do that, at one point

I just realized i really like this project because i love the headcanons i can create around it
like the word for impostor could be the same as the word for changelings, but this would probably become offensive when changelings reform
if changelings had their own language, the new pony word for changeling could become the word changelings use
Yeah i think i´ll headcanon my conlang into equestria, i really like this

Such a cool project! Glad to see it develop more! Love the idea for impostor being the same word for changeling and that becoming offensive, it's actually brilliant.

I´m thinking a bit about how will the changeling conlang i´ll develop later deal with the gender system of the pony language. I think it doesnt make sense for changelings to have a common/pegasian/monocerous system even tho their language would be influenced by the pony one.
Maybe they wont have grammatical gender. and this leads me to the verbs. The pony language´s verbs are inflected based on grammatical gender but if changelings wont have that how will they inflect the borrowed verbs from ponies? Maybe verbs like flying will inflect the pegasian way because when changelings will borrow the word thats the way it most typicaly inflects because pegasi fly
i think this would make the changeling language a bit complicated because verbs can inflect differently and you just have to learn which verbs inflect how
[Hopefully this makes sense ]

I translated A True True Friend into the conlang, it was fun
hopefully there are no mistakes
