The CBB

Do you know about the prequel? Arcaicam Esperantom (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcaicam_Esperantom) Reminds me: when Geoff Eddy wrote about diachronic conlanging (on a web page which is now sadly gone) that it got him "lots of conlanging fun of the sort you just can't get from Esperanto&q...

Nice - a lostlang in Germany! You may want to join the League of Lost Languages.

I see this claim (that Hurro-Urartian and NE Caucasian languages are typologically similar) all the time, but I never see any examples and I honestly fail to see the similarities, but maybe I'm missing something. Or are we talking about the superficial similarities (the ergative case, SOV word orde...

Population genetics do point to a Mesopotamian origin of at least some Caucasian people, especially the speakers of Northeast Caucasian, so chances are that there is some relationship between them and some languages of the Ancient Near East, but we'll probably never know for sure. Shared vocabulary...

My current main conlang family is part a priori, part a posteriori. I did make a romlang of the "bogolang" type years ago, but I now feel that it wasn't very good, and I have grown out of that thing since then. Good, plausible Romance altlangs are not easy to make; this one , though, looks...

I have written an overview of the indigenous families of the Caucasus. An interesting bunch those are!

Added.

Cool! A modern-day East Semitic language! This looks like a good start, and a candidate for the League of Lost Languages.

But you have forgotten the nasals in your phoneme inventory.

Old Albic:

chvaracvatha [ˌxwɐrɐˈkwɐθɐ] 'conlang' (lit. 'craft-language')
cvathadera [ˌkwɐθɐˈdɛrɐ] 'conlanger' (lit. 'language-maker')

EDIT: Added pronunciation.

English -er has two different meanings. One is 'one who does', as in baker . The other is 'tool for doing', as in screwdriver . Some languages keep these apart and use different morphemes for these two meanings. Possible glosses are AGN (for 'agent noun') for the first and INN (for 'instrument noun'...

I have one main project, but it is in a family of side projects, and then I have a few ideas for yet other conlangs. I just can't put all my ideas in one single conlang as i) it would result in an ugly kitchen-sink conlang and ii) some of these ideas are incompatible with some others.

I have a featural alphabet for Old Albic which hopefully avoids the glyphs being too much alike. http://www.joerg-rhiemeier.de/Conlang/albicfixed.png The script runs from bottom to top, which is admittedly a strange direction but feels weirdly natural to me. Intrafictionally, it is attributed to a c...

Hallo, I am new here, but many here probably already know me from the ZBB. My real name is Jörg Rhiemeier, I live in Germany, am 46 years old, and my main conlang is Old Albic.
