Re: Help making sense of Protoss?
I mean, I'll try, but you have to understand that the Protoss having a human-resembling language at all is kind of a conceit. They lack mouths. They wouldn't and technically don't even communicate the same way we do.

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Does anyone know where I can get a tokpisin english dictionary? It seems to be unusually difficult to find for a majority language. This one any good? Wikibooks has a nice selection too, from just glancing over it. Thank you very much! That is perfect. I have no idea why google didn't spider that, ...

May I have some basic Greek Glosses?
Would it be possible to have a bunch of key phrases outlining basic grammatical constructions glossed? Or at least an explanation of how Modern Greek and modern greek languages handle some basic things such as superlatives/comparatives, adjectival agreement and proper use of adjectives, proper use o...

Re: Phonemes
(Also, imo, seems pretty similar to Arabic, which I don't think has tʃ, but has d͡ʒ) Which I always found interesting. IIRC, Arabic /dʒ/ derives from an older /g/, just fronting it, then shifting to an affricate, but that process didn't affect Old Arabic /k/, except in a few dialects like Iraqi Ara...

Re: Islogian
Sun and moon is a fairly reasonable phonological process, I don't it'd be too farfetched, but given that there are many different forms of definite article which might hold it due to analogy and al in islogian was a larger particle with romance origins, I am unsure.
Re: Islogian
I am very much loving how this romlang is. Thank you for making it.
Re: Islogian
Although, especially now, these people were almost certainly bilingual (otherwise this can't have happened unless the entire speaker population was fully educated) so you need to pay attention to the spoken varieties that influenced it. Will do [:D]. Although what exactly makes it necessary for the...

I really like this. Especially this type of borrowing. Although, especially now, these people were almost certainly bilingual (otherwise this can't have happened unless the entire speaker population was fully educated) so you need to pay attention to the spoken varieties that influenced it.

Re: Bandilinu- A Semitic influenced Romlang
It says in the intro that Bandilinu is spoken in Tunisia. Though whether or not sardinian still exists is an interesting question.qwed117 wrote:So, does Sardinian not exist in this universe? Is Bandilinu spoken on Sardinia?
Re: Islogian
This looks very interesting! I can't add anything to the Romance side of things, but I was wondering if it would be more realistic for the Arabic words to come from a spoken dialect not Fuṣḥa? Of course you may prefer Fuṣḥa for other reasons. Now wait just a moment, it is not at all more or less re...

Re: Islogian
Well this is certainly a break from the norm! And it's moving to head-final too! I really like this. Tell me, has this language become agglutinative due to the turkish influence? Does it use prepositions or postpositions? I was wondering how this language treated arabic plurals. Most languages that ...

Re: Is conlanging sexually transmitted...
It would have to be a special scenario, indeed. While my son is interested in languages (French, Spanish, decoding words written in Greek alphabet), he does not demonstrate the Tasmanian Devil/PACMANish voracity for natlangs, writing systems, exploring cultures and then glossopoesis/cosmopoesis tha...

Does anyone have any resources about what happens to languages under extreme stress from rapid population decrease, and reconsolidation of a dialect continuum? I'd especially like to hear about conditions in Europe and North America. I know the answer to the polar question you actually asked: "...

What is a good sketch or quick-facts-style grammar or cheat sheet for Imperial Aramaic? Any resources on Old Aramaic as well would be appreciated.
