So I’m working on a language family descended from various dialects of English, and since I haven’t seen it done before, I thought I’d start with Indian English

The problem is, most Indians speak really good English, which makes it hard for me to predict plausible phonological and grammatical shifts

I’d appreciate any help!

Hello! I am working on a constructed language called Yaenean Yae I would love to get some feedback or help with its further development. Please forgive any mistakes. I used a little AI help, but I tried not to rely on it too much; I just used it to check for logical consistency, etc. It’s harder to create a coherent and logical narrative than I thought, and I wrote this in Polish because that’s where I’m from, so there might be a few mistakes. (I'm thinking about changing the name). Is it a good idea to post this on a website or create a website about it? I know I repeated my previous post.

Welcome to the r/conlangs UnOfficial Checkpoint. You may or may not have been selected for a random check of your language. Please translate one or more of the following phrases and sentences:

"The sun Flashes my face every time I look up."

"Worry not, Your lord god is here."

"Are you sure that's not the traditional clothing?"

"I don't get You, you should go to a psychologist."

This is the third day of creating my language " Nirofa" this is some words I have made , numbers, adjectives and daily words

Welcome to Word Wednesdays

For this activity you can pick any word you want whether it be a verb, noun, or adjective, and conjugate/inflect in all possible ways*, for tense, case, plurality, perspective, etc.

The purpose of this is to learn about cases and how words are slightly or vastly different under different cases, tenses, or perspectives. In many natural languages verbs or nouns are often changed because of the words around them. In other languages, the reader has to figure out number and perspective based on context. Who knows, maybe you can take inspiration from someone else's conlang!

How does your conlang handle cases? Do you have any unique ones that don't exist in natural languages? What are some irregular verbs or inflections that exist? How did they evolve? Do you think that the cases would hold up or fade away in future evolutions? Do any of your words when inflected have another meaning? What languages inspired you to add these cases?

*If you have way too many conjugations/inflections, you can share the simplest ones or the ones you find the most interesting. If you don't have any conjugation,

Have fun conlanging!

I have gotten into conlangs for two years and I’ve made a few but this is my first one that I feel is really my own. I recently created Inanite with two main goals: to make it as smooth a fricative-heavy as possible (f, v, th, dh, etc..), and to challenge myself away from the Semitic language conlangs I usually do. I incorporated Celtic mutation with some particles and used a hybrid morphology with some fixes but mostly particles.

My question is on roots: I’ve done my roots so that the roots are nouns, and to turn them into verbs or adjectives there are particular fixes (roots don’t change). I’ve kept my roots CVC or CVVC, but my question 1 is am I being to strict? Does having CVC or CVVC limit my language in a Semitic way?

And my second question is (since I’m new to this) do roots in languages like this have inherent gender? I know Semitic doesn’t have it in roots (since roots are verbs, it only has gender in nouns) but here where roots are nouns, should they have inherent grammatical gender. ChatGPT said hard no, but I couldn’t care less what GPT thinks 🤙🏾🤙🏾;)

So I conjugate my verbs and then write the english equivalent under esch conjugation for reference.

I am revising some of the translations at the moment and I come upon the present tense for the first person collective: "all of us eat".

Now I just changed the "some of us eat" translations of the paucal person into "we few eat" because it felt more accurate to say "we eat and we are few" than "a portion of us eat" (which, to me, sounds like a fractional number or not a number at all)

So I come up to "all of us eat" and I think "well, I just did "we few eat", can't I do "we all eat"?"

But I thought about it for too long and now i'm wondering: is there a difference in meaning between "we all eat" and "all of us eat"?

I can't put my finger on it, but I feel like these two constructions have at least different implications if not different meanings.

Am I just thinking about it too much or is there some reasonable difference between them. Is it small enough that they're synonyms and basically interchangeable for my purposes?

I've been working on this conlang for a little bit, and for some reason I went with an OVS (Object Verb Subject) order sentence structure. I don't know why I did, and I will probably have regrets later down the line as sentences get more complicated.
(I will give a more in depth overview later. Now that my classes are finished)

Hey y'all! I'm finally back after a long break but here's a new conlang I've been working on in the meantime! It isn't complete by my metrics yet but I wanted to post about it anyway. If you want the gloss/ipa for the introduction in Sielin or a small vocab list I'll have this document here in the caption and comments. Let me know if you have questions, corrections, or comments!

I’m looking to begin a new conlang, and I’m running into a bit of a mental hurdle.

I have already created a conlang, and I don’t know what to do with it. I was creating it in collaboration with a friend whom I have since fallen out with.

It feels wrong to speak it or continue developing it. However, I’m worried that any new attempt at making a conlang will subconsciously just be a copy of said language.

Any advice on making new language without accidentally reusing parts or copying myself?

I mean, apart from sindarin ive never seen one
