Re: I fail.
I've been trying since I first found the Language Creation Kit years ago. And by years ago I mean over 5 years ago. Of course, my biggest issue is that I end up getting distracted by other things or busy, but I've also been having the issue of not liking what I come up with. My advice is to just lea...

Re: Conlangs based on natlangs: justifying their history
Thanks everyone! Etherman: Thanks! I went a-Googling soon after I first saw this comment. I can send you an article I found that brings up interesting points, if you're into it.

Re: Conlangs based on natlangs: justifying their history
Thanks for the info! I'll check out your conlang, the Georgian part sounds especially interesting. ;-) My biggest issue is mostly justifying that, with those changes ocurring in function of the speakers, that my conlang would retain a neuter gender and declensions. Of course, it's a conlang, so I ha...

Conlangs based on natlangs: justifying their history
I hope I can word my question correctly. I am working on a Romance conlang, and I'd like for it to retain some features (e.g. neuter nouns) existent in Latin, but not found in most current Romance languages. Is there a good way to justify this? Many of these changes come from Vulgar Latin, as do lot...

Re: Germanic Esperanto
Here's the link to Folkspraak . I just Googled "Germanic auxlangs", and in addition to Folkspraak (above), I found a few links that might help you. I'm no Germanics expert (Romance is how I roll), but here they are: This page has a bunch of auxlang links. Folkspraak seems to be only purely...

I apologize if I'm bumping an otherwise dead thread.

Re: Germanic Esperanto
Basically you're saying that you'd like a language that is a mash of Germanic languages, or one that is a mash of different languages with an emphasis on Germanic? If you Google for "Germanic conglangs" or "Germanic based conlangs" you might be able to find something.

Re: Linguistic Resources
http://paleoglot.blogspot.com/ - a (sometimes controversial) blog about Proto-Indo-European, Etruscans, Minoans etc. This seems interesting, but do you know how reliable it is? I'm lurking about and it seems good so far but I'd hate to read something wrong and believe it. I don't know how many of y...
