Finally, another conlanger's conlang showcase to keep inspiring our conlang-making spirit of, probably, all conlanger around the world! ^^ Greetings from Indonesia as conlanger spirit! 🇮🇩🙏🏻
As a newish conlanger, videos like this demonstrate how we learn as we go and why phonology is one of the first things to work on (after giving yourself a goal for your language)
You monster. Wait, who am I kidding, I once used c for /ǂ/ and thought of using š for /c͡ç/ and ž for /ɟ͡ʝ/ in another project which was just like Ithkuil, basically, and ended up using mixed cases, then cancelled the project in question. Edit: Wording was way off
I am impressed at the amount of vocabulary diversity you brought into a spelling reform of English. I'd definitely request that episode, if I knew how.
Requesting is partially what comments are for! What exactly is it you might be requesting? Also, thank you! It was a spelling reform but that's been done so many times I thought I'd take English down a unique path. Really anyone can do that too, which is why it's so fun.
I once had a project that consisted of throwing as many phonemes as I could to convey information quickly (just Ithkuil with extra steps) without having heard of Ithkuil. I had a hard time coming up with words, so I went with a consonant root thing. Also, it had like 53 consonants and 47 vowels. Thankfully, I abandoned this monstrosity. Edit: Restarted and revised the project. Now I have hundreds of noun classes
My conlang has no phoneme for k/c so I just made the C represent tʃ it also doesn't have a G so I use that for ʒ It also has ð and θ which I chose to represent with dd for the voiced and tt for the unvoiced Before that I did a thought experiment of English with verb conjugation like spanish. Talgo I talk Talgas you talk Talga he talks But then I thought why not base the endings off the English pronouns Talgai Talgu Talget It was dumb.
At first I absolutely hated it. Then you salvaged a dumpster fire of a language with crafted care, and by the end I actually grew to like it. Well done with making something worthwhile out of yet another English spelling reform.
For me it sounds a bit finno-ugric,its likeable.😁 my (best)conlang : Geldermansch cause it has a vowel chart. Mostly My langs are romance, (I love romance languages😁) -Daoqiänghage -Prandarmani -Geldermansch Mediocre -Jehodeesj -(laudasa "longword I forgot") Ganetule -kooko -lemba Martina Bad, -lethiene -arefalo martín (fictional spanish dialect) -lyngröm 1 germanic: -Tedesco (temporary name) 2 Isolates : - Mai or Tinsy suaronui nitramnui -hadraan If curious you could ask questions of each of these.
Thank you for showing intrest 😁 Daoqiänghage ( attempting ipa daocci:èngxagə ) Is a fictional romance language (model) in its own fammily. The fammilly is vally-romance. Its influenced by sinnitic languages wo mixed with the romance speakers in a fictional valley in the Himalayas and vicinity (bordering Nepal & part of India, sikkim) There is not yet a vowel chart ( when making the language I did not know of there requirement) It has a in my opinion a what strange taste, and Vowel sounds are develloped but I dont know how to describe them. When developping the language, I first based pronounzation on mandarin ,but later I made it broader cause I could not find enough data about mandarin vowel changes and location wise (where the people live) it would give problems. Instead I did the following: I was picking words from atempts to reverse engeneer kantonese words for loans and put them trough romance mouths, further I used my language feeling. Since it was placed in a valley (on purpose) there was not to much influence, and I made an emperor who ignorrantly put dialects but even difrent group members of these romance languages in one standardised language. (To explain probable incoveniences) The name Mekoguese is the English name for this language. It self calls it romance speach (dachian+haka = Daoqiänghage ) in real world dachien was how china called the roman empire. The language sounds in my opinion somewhat misterious with tastes of japanese,korean and sinnitic sounds. I not intended to let japonic ,koreanic sounds appear at first but the combination of sinnitic with romance in my language feel resulted in this, when I discovered it I liked it and made some more words to strengthen it a little. Language unique features: -Tonal (4 tones for word difrentiation) -simpler but rather exotic conjugations -rhotic and exotic r's -probably based on a more exotic vowel origin then other romance languages. -no articles, but classifiers Personal pronouns: Yu I To you La/le/lode he,she, it No we Bo you Lî/lai/ Le they Verbs: end in -er,-ar,-air sar (to be) bar (to have) Yu su yu byu To su to byu La su la byu No som no bi'ng Bo som bo bi'ng Lî so'ng Lî byong Note 1: ' between letters indicates short vowel Note 2: in example, only the first Male variation of the third persons is shown for convenience.

I mean I get using the common English "long" and "short" vowels for a conlang is pretty bad, but why is everyone so disgusted by it? maybe your conlang just had a great vowel shift or something, it's not horrible.
It wouldn't be an issue if I incorporated a great vowel shift into the lang, but the problem is that I had no idea what I was doing when I set all that up. I could retroactively shove a great vowel shift into the history but eh, I'd rather fix the mistakes I made for real and use a vowel shift when I know what I'm doing

Hello there! Glad you liked the video! As niche as it is, conlanging is such an extensive field, you can get lost in it really easily haha
As a newish conlanger, videos like this demonstrate how we learn as we go and why phonology is one of the first things to work on (after giving yourself a goal for your language)
nothing, *nothing* could have prepared me for the spelling of /d͡ʒ/. I had to pause the video
I remember one time I contemplated using for /ɬ/ in one of my older conlangs

this is super cool! i dont often come across conlang showcases so its cool to see this!
Thank you! I've got a few more planned for some point
How has my life gotten to the point where using qt for the /d͡ʒ/ sound makes me gag?
Another good question might be how did my life get to the point where I thought using qt for /d͡ʒ/ was a good idea
Thank you for this. I thought my conlang was bad, but seeing your conlangs redemption arc is, i guess hopeful?
i actually laughed at the letter het. :D
you should have kept the russian p tho
I was considering it, tbh

Gentlemen!
I've come to say the *N-Verb*
That was a rough Conlang to learn about. But hey everyone's first is always bad.
My conlang has no phoneme for k/c so I just made the C represent tʃ it also doesn't have a G so I use that for ʒ
It also has ð and θ which I chose to represent with dd for the voiced and tt for the unvoiced
Before that I did a thought experiment of English with verb conjugation like spanish.
Talgo I talk
Talgas you talk
Talga he talks
But then I thought why not base the endings off the English pronouns

Daoqiänghage ( attempting ipa daocci:èngxagə )
Is a fictional romance language (model) in its own fammily. The fammilly is vally-romance.
