Oops. Gridlock is what I meant.

If everybody is thinking the same thing at the same time, they must be doing the same thing as well. And this is impossible. What if every single one of us decided to take our Audi A4 onto I-5? Well, if we all lived near I-5, we'd all crash into eachother trying to get into the onramp. And is someho...

Out of the three choices given by the OP, I prefer English by a landslide. However, if all languages are game, then Dutch, with it's 'sch' and all of its vowels. I also love the nasalization and the /zh/ in Portuguese.

I think I might have brought this concept up in some other thread. I'm glad there's a thread about it now. I always wonder about how American English will be in, say, 200 years. I think we'll still definitely have a rhotic r, which is to me a somewhat bizarre trait. I believe we will be more reliant...

Got my alphabet and its phonology. I've been stuck there for quite a while. The whole idea of a lexicon has been hanging over my head, but as this is my first conlang, I'm not sure where in the sequence that step occurs.

So that's where I am.

I've kind of needed a break lately. But I am listening to a stream of an Afrikaans radio station called RSG(?), and that sort of has me in the mood to conlang again. Got my phonology and morphology down. Now what's bugging me is how I go about developing a lexicon. Not sure if that should be my next...

I didn't accomplish anything today. Apparently, according to a PM, I better hurry up and figure out my numbers! :D

What a great thread! I'm not quite at the point where I can participate, as I don't have a vocabulary (and don't know how to build one). I just have a phonology and orthography, as indicated in my language's thread in my sig. Plus, I have a minor speech difficulty. But it would be cool, once I got f...

Wow. I've never looked at or for anything THAT obscure, but I am interested in languages that are obscure to the average joe. I was looking at a fire apparatus photos page, and there was a photo of an old States of Jersey ambulance. So I looked up Jersey, which is some sort of British Crown Dependen...

In addition to mentally working out soccer leagues in Nederuba (1 men's, 1 or two divisions; 1 women's, one division), I have been looking at cricket. I do enjoy watching footage of cricket on Sky Sports, but it has taken years for me to even half-understand. I know I'll get it eventually, but I wan...

So, which natlang inspired your conlang? I drew inspirations from German, Serbocroatian, Lithuanian and Tsez. I pretty much screwed myself twice over by doing that, but it ok :) And how about you? As I've likely repeated ad nauseam here, mine is intended to be a collision of Dutch and Spanish, but ...

There was another thread on consports, but it was newer, so I was gently steered toward this one instead. I wonder if there's a way for the mods to merge the threads. Might be a good idea, as both contain some interesting content now. Regardless, I am a soccer fan, and as such, I'd be inclined to si...

In another thread on this section, someone was complaining that they'd like the author to use PDF files. Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying that out, versus everything being in Word, and in tables, which I apparently don't know how to do right. Not even sure who puts out the PDF format, though. any he...

My conlang is imagined to be used in what in real life is Aruba, which is not even the area of D.C. At various times, I have imagined other aspects of a culture that speaks Nederano. But I'd lie if I said that I've done much conworlding. May as well sooner or later, though. I would imagine "Ned...

Still no decision on acute accents, but possibly just to keep consecutive vowels (i.e. ee, oo) seperate (as in the English "cooperate"). Just tonight, I was thinking of playing around with stress rules, but I always found that a bit tricky when learning natlangs inschool, so I may leave th...

Qazaq?

I tend to like Germanic languages other than modern German. That includes English and its predecessors. I donot care for slang for whatever reason (at least inasmuch as I recognise it as such).

In Nederano, I have probably gone off my beaten path a bit. After getting most of the orthography and phonology done, as you see if you have gone to that thread, I couldn't help but get impatient about my next step. I don't know what it should be yet, so, just to be somewhat productive, I started co...

I haven't thought too hard about developing a conworld for Nederano to be used in, but occasionally little vague bits appear in my mind. Instead of all the tourist-friendly fusion cuisine that Aruba seems to have, my Nederano Aruba would be true to its dutch and Mexican roots. Soft tacos, primarily ...

Corrected some errors in Nederano phonology. Still need to finish that, and see if I want to rework my vowels at all, just so I can use a grave accent somehow.
