Hooray! I was hoping for a thread on this. Your samples looked juicy. Yorkish ( Eurcisc /ˈʏrcɪsc/) is an Insular North Germanic language spoken in Yorkrice (ie. across our Yorkshire and going partway south) and in pockets in Angland. It is closely related to its southern sibling Markish, I assume M...

So I've been posting translations in this lang around the place and I figured I might finally start writing up some detail about it. This first post will be more a synopsis post for the whole language, but my plan for this thread is to write up snapshot posts about the features I'd really like to ta...

Oh, thanks! Do you know a bit about it, then? A bit, yeah. Mostly from personal study; I haven't really worked with it in a conlanging sense. I took some interest in it since I was studying modern Chinese when I was still in university eight years back or so, and I tried to pick up a bit of Old/Mid...

I'm considering Old Chinese, since it's isolating (and I've been on an isolating-language kick recently), but I don't know anything about it, so I'd be going in blind. It seems to have a fair number of reconstructed words, but I also don't read any Chinese characters, so it would be hard to find on...
