NS Languages?

I know this must seem weird but this is a serious question of curiousity.
Do any NS players have a language they use for their nation in the game(languages created by the players not natural languages!)or have there ever been any?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm using a language I'm making in this game as an experiment to exercise the language's grammar and vocab.And if no one has ever tried it, I'll claim the title of 1st to use an artficial language in NS.But,if anyone did or is doing this other than me please telegraph me! :D



Edit:I made this thread when I first started playing NS.I've left everything as is accept for this of course!

Don't forget Rejistanian, and Selekian, created by the same person...

Rejis has even created the characters for them.

Don't forget Noterelenda (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/noterelenda.html), too.

And Hashi and Mgweni, and several separate dialects.

Also the proper name is Seleken, not Selekian, as Rejis will be prompt to tell you.

Wow,Noterelenda is an awesome language!It makes me look forward to completing my language Nosore!Nosore is going to take a while to finish cuz I'm not basing it on natural tongues,I'm making up all the vocab.:D

Languages are my thing!So Kurona if you need help with Kurma hit me up!:p

Sil prit e odecak'si avil!(I love artificial languages!)

Hey I would really appreciate some help. I have an NSwiki of the basic concept of Kurma but I really feel I could improve it more. Make it like some of the really well developed languages here

Koruna, what exactly do you need help with?Your language looks fine to me.:confused:
Phonetics?
Syntax?
Inflective Cases?

My language Nosore for example has 6 cases(Nominative,Accusative,Dative,Genitive,Partitive,Vocative,and 3 gendercases(Masculine,Neuter,and Feminine)

Its standard word order is SOV(Subject,Object,Verb)
Nosore is going to take a long time to develop cuz I want it to have a vocab of its own,but I did get alot of helpful ideas about syntax from my 2 fav natural languages,German and Spanish!Maybe later, when Nosore is all grown-up with a fairly sized native vocab,I may let it borrow some foreign words to spice it up!:D

I really don't have a language per se, just an alphabet and a Pronouncation Guide. Check it out here (for now): http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/qazian_language.html

Nord-Brutlandese (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/nord_brutlandese.html). It's the only one of my created languages that I use in NS.

Rejistanian has its own alphabet (18 characters) and seleken has 2 different alphabets, which are used.

And don't forget Popayen!

I have made up a language for it but I just don't have the time to put it down into the wiki (plus I can't rearly be asked to do it).

My nation, speaks Indonesian but with a created alphabet, based on Arabic. I was going to put it in the wiki but i couldn't. As well as my created language, Indonesians use Arabic and Latin Alphabets (Though some letters are not used or used differently, Ex: the letter "c" in the Latin Alphabet makes a "ch" sound in Indonesian; and Indonesians dont use the letter "f" or "v"

I use Swedish on One of my islands though it isn't meant to be the RL Swedish.

Right in this moment I'm constructing the Komenease language. Although it will take a time, because I have to invent all the words also...

My own (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/necrontyr_language.html), with a sample lexicon. It is primarily used for proper nouns, formal occasions, or for excluding outsiders. Also spoken in my nation is a dialect of English, various incarnations of the languages created by J.R.R. Tolkien, and Riikan (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/riikan.html), the language of Kajal.

For business, various Indian, Chinese, and other asian languages are frequently known, along with a German-dialect, and Mirkanian.

There's others, both fictitious, and real, that are understood, too. Common amongst these are Elven languages (Giltheran), Lam'Eldar (Tor Yvresse) and numerous others. Xirnian is likely becoming a popular choice for recreational study, as are various languages (extant and not) of TRD, Pantocratoria, and various allied states. Roanian and Druhir are also possibilities.

I invent/create/integrate words as I go along. At first the language is bare, with the essential words (pronouns, articles, prepositions, numbers, etc.). Then when something needs translation, I make up the word for it at that moment and put it in the dictionary.

I thought about doing something like that.

Right now all of these languages are absolutly awesome to me,mostly cuz Nosore, being 1st language,at the moment it barely has basic vocab and grammar.I'm overwhelmed by so many beautiful, complete languages!But I'm determined to make Nosore as complete!;)

I've made Yokarian, but it's not really developed, i'm constantly changing aspects of it
