Not an easy exercise. :con: Mentolatian has a verb for being, siyan , but not a copula. Idiomatically, most of these sentences require verbs other than be anyway. Issues of alienable v. inalienable possession cloud matters at times; verb endings have tended to migrate to the pronoun before disappear...

So, I admit it. I'm a filler- I have created a conworld and put many languages and language families on it. This gives me little time to make full grammars for the languages and they will probably stay in highly-developed sketches. Thus, I've been thinking- instead of writing a grammar for each con...

In the World, there are many kinds of martial arts -- some more martial than others. Almost anything that can be used as a weapon probably has a martial art attached to it. (A...

In many languages the first part of this sentence is in an imperfective, progressive, or durative aspect; while the later part of the sentence is in a perfective, non-progressive, or "aoristic" aspect. How would your lang handle this sentence? In :con: Talarian , the first part places the...

[tick] That's an awfully minimalist answer, elemtilas. Can't you elaborate in detail and at length? Can't say I know a whóle lot more on the subject! The World is not an "alien" world, full of slimy monsters from the dawn of time; not so close to Sawel that folks like to enjoy a cool and r...

[tick] Basically, I'd like to hear anything that concerns your conculture's music. What instruments do they use? Are lyrics preferred or is scat the prominent feature of songs with vocalizations? What is their tuning scale? What Earth style does it most sound like? Any sound recordings for our colle...
