Re: List of most common verbal roots for making a conlang
Thank you for providing the lists. The second one is much closer to what I intended or wanted to get. However I wanted a basic noun free list, but since your 2nd list is small that should not be a problem. It will currently take more then a week to present what I came up with. It is just an idea of ...

Re: Creating a simple writing system
one idea would be to just use five symbols or less and combine them. A dot above , a dot below and some other diacritic .... Years ago I created following quite easy writing system which has just very few basic elements and mostly uses the vowel dot and the nasal dots to modifiy sounds. . (dot) belo...

Re: Conscripts that don't accurately display phonemes?
It is only necessary if the glottal stop is phonemic. In German or Esperanto, it is not. However you have to use it in order to be understood. Okay, there are whole sentences in German where it simply would not mind. "Ihre Antwort ist wichtig." ( It is clear that you can not join "An...

Re: Conscripts that don't accurately display phonemes?
So, if the glottal stop is forgotten but used ... does this count? So many conlangers probably have forgotten that because it is not common in so many European languages although they are using it. No one thought it necessary to add a glottal stop in "blauäugig" . Esperantists did not find...

Re: Idiotic minimalist approached conlang
I would not call it 'idiotic' because it is illogical. I agree with that ... "illogical" is a good term. The subject I used "Idiotic minimalist approached conlang" did not really cover what I intended to communicated. As I think about it now "minimalist approach for a conla...

Re: The lazy man's passive.
I think it's alright and I do not have a problem if I would come up with something new accidently. There are thousands of languages and not all can be checked but the very fact that you are human makes it natural somehow. However "Mir gehört ... " isn't really "passive" (okay, it...

Re: Idiotic minimalist approached conlang
The intention for this IMA-conlang is however that i want to derive or build all of the words from verbal roots. To make it clear I give some samples I thought of. mirror : "Someone is reflected." or " Given Image. = Image is given. " sun: "Shines on everything." or &qu...

Re: Idiotic minimalist approached conlang
By "idiotic" I mean an affix which can have multiple meanings and thus is some kind of "stupid" or "idiotic" in that it doesn't follow logical rules for word derivation. Maybe sample would make it clear. TokiPona relies so much on word building that its users came up wi...

List of most common verbal roots for making a conlang
I look for a list of possible or real used verbal roots for making a conlang. I already found a list of verbal roots for Sanskrit and other resources like the Basic English word list and the most frequent morphems in Esperanto from which verbal roots could be extracted, but I know here are experienc...

Re: Deriving new pronouns
You already derived the plural forms from the singular forms.
Do you want the language to have an own pronoun for "-self" ?
It is quite practical and I think most languages have it.

Re: Minimum grammar?
Just don't go for the 100% of everything. Even natives have troubles to express certain ideas new to them sometimes. Just go for 95 % covering of everyday speech. At least that what I plan to do and still asking myself what could be the "minimum grammar" or "essential grammar" bu...

Re: Þrinn: The Mid-Germanic Language
I read the samples and looked at the phonems and I conclude that I would think of it as North Germanic and would not understand anything accept some words but not a single words and lots of words would be so called "false friends". A common Germanic language to me allows only voiceless con...

Idiotic minimalist approached conlang
hi, I'm new here to this forum but I conlanged for nearly two decades now and now I thought of something which is quite revolutionary for me , but just might probably be boring for others. I wrote quite some text on it ... one is at https://mahagugu.gitbooks.io/idiotic-minimalistic-approach-conlang/...
