It took a long time but finaly other languages have their own topics. Starting with the first Dutch topic over a year ago we now have the fourth Dutch topic (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=339531), a Russian (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361007), a German (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360432), a French (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360448) and a Spanish (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360985) topic.

bit crap though isn't it, only having one thread in your language, so that you have to discuss everything in the same thread. poor lambs.

I have messed around with Daistallian as a con-lang a little, mostly as a "naming language" only.

Depends on if anyone else knows it.

I've always liked personal languages.
A friend and I once made up a language on the spot to confuse 1st years at our old school. It wasn't coherent, but it sounded right. It mostly consisted of classical technical terms, Greek names and a random word from Age of Empires.

Wow...! How did you translate my polynesianoid con-langish thingy..?

It read:

"How about constructed languages? Does anyone out there like to make little toy languages? And what about Naomi..!?"

IE:

Wu'a akeu'aki ka pi'i amu'u hikila pe'eki api mi ka lie'a mika u'oapa ha mi? Piaha ema'ai'ohe'eamu u'aki wielu lii'apu kiu'o ni'epu liikili kioi'o ka lie'a mika u'oapa ha mi? E'ame'epi weaki akeu'aki "Naomi"?

Very good..! :D

I have Vorlon for that.
It's a fairly easy to understand one as it links quite heavily with the root of English words.

lit. Part easily understand it is as with origin of words of English mostly partners.

Its syntax is a bit like Yoda on crack though.

If that's the name of your personal language then make a sentence of it for us.

It would be VERY difficult to "crack", as it's a rather involved encoding of english.

It is, therefore, not a real "language" per se,.. but just a quasi-phonetic transliteration substitution encoding (of the english).

The rules of this thing (which I call the "Ha" language) are here: http://iakeokeo.home.comcast.net/Ha_lang.txt .

You can also find some interesting stuff at http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=19651&TabID=178310 .

Any comments are welcome.

I would also suggest people interested in "clan/guild" languages check out the Shadowclan folks and their great effort to develop their language(s): http://www.shadowclan.org/darkmoot/viewtopic.php?t=20809&highlight=khashaan

..also see anything written by Khasha'an in those forums. :)

y juf u kon hekhop, fayk, yut mo kaf no bal gud.

=I have this language I made, but it is not very good.


It's kind of simple and I formed it years and years ago; been working on it on and off ever since. It's cool but it needs a lot of work to be a proper conlang. Here (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tar_irene/bys)'s its site if anyone cares.

I think we need an English topic as well. So that the English speaking folks here don't feel left out.
