Re: Qarshkī Language/Каршкий/قارشكئ

The Qarshki language is a unique and very complex language spoken in the Islamic Sultanate of Qarsherskiy. Qarshkī borrows many loan-words from Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Kurdish, Turkish, French, Latin, and English. Qarsherskiy is usually written in the Arabic alphabet (ا ل م) but also is sometimes wr...

Re: Sound Changes for Verb Conjugations

So I've been working on evolving a conlang from a protolang I have, and I realized that I have a pretty big problem: I have 15 conjugations for every verb, which means every conjugation of my verbs need to go through those sound changes so I can get the results I want. I'm comfy with sound changers...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

Where do negatives usually come from? I'm struggling to find the form of a negative auxillary since *-na the old negative also appears in the negative. copula. I have *san "to lack" as a source but it already became the standard way of negating a noun. A good place to look might be French...

Re: Quick Diachronics Challenge

Sorry for the delay, but here is the solution. The protoform was *kidekide. The grouping was [[[cilecira cideceda] sidiside] [[kezehize kiaxia] kiraikirai]]. With intermediate forms, the whole thing looks something like this. *kidekide -- cidecide --- cidecida ---- cilecira (Elvish) ---- cideceda (...

What vocabulary is almost never derived? I know that demonstratives are pretty much never derived, and personal pronouns are only occasionally so, but since adpositions can come from verbs or possessive phrases, and conjunctions like "and" (at least in English, anyway) derive from adjecti...
