The CBB

Ok... I read the threads... First of all awesome idea, second of all may I join? This seems more like a storytelling adventure thread than an organized game but I figured I'd ask. From what I've seen it's a very loose format. We've mostly been going with whatever feels the most fun. Also you should...

I would say that:

6) ejan jen moghan.

Okay, all signs so far point to two degrees of proximity: Debo for close, and bubo for far. Something someone else is holding seems to count as far. (Okay, I think I know my next move, but first, did you catch this question from Flavia, Sketch? I think I cut them off.) A oabolw! How do you say &quo...

Yes, that's still "bubo ga?".

Since you're the one beginning the conversation, you'd say: 1a) A oabolw. And then I'd say: 1b) Ajan e geobeka. "Well then, a oabolw," I say. I pick up a rock from the ground. "Debo ga?" Ajan e geobeka! Bubo jen. Bubo ga? 3) Bubo laibe. OOC: I just realized I messed up here, tha...

Yes! That's correct!

aaaaaaAAAAHHHHH I LOVE THEM <3 <3 <3 Thank you!! I should post their design later, I think they're very cute. I take a bright purple scarf out of my things and hold it out to her. Bubo ga? 3) Bubo laibe. She points to her own scarf 4) Debu laibe. "How would you say 'to be or not to be' in Olwö...

"Hello!" I wave to my Olwöa informant. "Or, I should say ─ ah ─" I pause, somewhat embarrassed, knowing I should've at least studied the basics before coming here "─ how would I greet you in Olwöa?" Since you're the one beginning the conversation, you'd say: 1a) A oabo...

"Is there any reason you might say one or the other?"

"And sorry I've spoken little here ─ I've been doing fieldwork in some other places." I'm enjoying the headcanon that Arayaz is a multiverse jumper, popping in and out of different universes to inquire about the local languages XD It's actually somewhat consistent with my actual lore for ...

My thread has been created, I hope y'all have fun with Olwöa!

Here is my thread for the analysis swap. I'll be using Olwöa for this game, as evidenced by the title. Olwöa is spoken by anthropomorphic bee-like creatures in a temperate forest in the foothills of a mountain range. The speakers are non-industrial, so no advanced technology. I'll be following the s...

Necessity it quite a powerful motivator for language development, if it works for you then there's no shame in it.

Arayaz wrote: ↑08 May 2024 23:27 Yay! I'm cooking up a quick sketch language right now. (Decided not to do Xúuuatxia, since even if you've not seen it, Visions has.)

Why are you making me a language? (/j)

I'll join with Olwöa!! This sounds like a lot of fun!

For the 4th time in two years (give or take), I have remade Northlang. Each version of Northlang has been spoken in the northern continent of my first conworld, hence the name. This conworld is likely to be redesigned in the future; the name is no more than a title which connects it to its predecess...

That was a fantastic story! I hope I can get my conlangs to a point where I can write in them soon, it looks really fun.

<x> for an alveo Are you against using X or C for the alveolo-palatal sibilant? I use X in Hapoish, Quispe, Txabao, and Javartu. Oooo, <x> could look quite nice. I usually dislike it for /ʃ/, but as in this case I think it tends more towards [xʲ] it could work very well. Thank you! You're welcome! G...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I realized that Ruykkarraber's name is invalid ─ it should be Ruykkarrasber. Then I realized that I've been inconsistent overall with forming compounds, and I considered scrapping Ruykkarraber (and with it, Rü’ravesh and Hejísas), which could be a good idea anyw...

Using passivization in the future tense is a really cool idea! I might have to try something like that in a lang soon.

Yeah, having easter eggs for people who supported you is really fun for both them and you. I have a lot in Ruykkarraber, but I didn't make a note of them so I'd have to dig them up. I have dug them up (and added a couple new ones): aser name (from my new name) batag to admire (from an abbreviation ...
