For you, what qualities do you like for a language to have? I dont mean interesting, but good in the use of a day to day language. In other words what kind of qualities would the language you would rathest have as your day to day language have?

Any human language could function good as a day-to-day language. It's just that I happened to be born in the northern parts of Europe, and therefore acquired a specific language as my L1. But that's a purely accidentally. Had I been born somewhere else, the language I would have grown up with there could serve equally good as a day-to-tay means of communication.

Well what i mean is, if there are specific features about languages that you like and think are good to have.

What do you mean by "good to have"?

I like morphemes. I think they're good to have around.

Sometime I like silence, what about a soundless conlang for every days

easy to pronounce. (I literally have to pause a bit before I can correctly say the initial ['h] of <chutzpah>).

now granted, one could argue that that's dependant on what one is accustomed to pronouncing.

Qualities you find desirable about a language. Like if one likes free word order, or adjectives to come after nouns etc.

Nah, they're overrated.

What about lexemes?

[*]Regular spelling system
[*]Easy pronunciation
[*]A not-so-big lexicon

The way the question's worded, I can't think of any other answer except "English."
I tend to find I communicate best in my only fluent language.

I am creating a conworld, which I refer to as the Carrion Series, that will contain three languages, Iriex, Dvoen and Maxna.

Nah, I'd prefer:

• Etymological, non-phonetic spelling system (so that people with different dialects can communicate with each other in writing)
• Complex phonology (simple phoneme-inventories and syllable structures will result in too many similar-sounding words)
• An enormous lexicon (so that one can talk about the same things in many different words, expressing different shades of meaning)

Desirable for language learners:

- simple writing system with spaces to divide words
- phonemic or phonetic spelling
- no rare or unusual sounds or features in phonology
- little allophony
- not polysynthetic
- no complex or irregular morphology (preferably simple with almost no exceptions)
- identifiable morphology (no distorted morphemes, no morphemes whose origins and functions are unclear, vague or confusing)
- consistent syntax, but not necessarily strict word order
- accessible learning resources (dictionary, grammars, guides, etc.)

Except for that last one, it sounds like Kala.

*is happy that Hakaku likes Kala*

Better get working on that last part then :P

Yeah...it's a labor of love and it's tedious but I am working on it.

If the said language provides learning resources (plenty of options) that can actually teach you (I hear so many bad things about Rosetta Stone and most common *natlanghere* Grammar books), then that's all I really want in a language. And maybe easy pronunciation, but I could do without that.
