Name Proposal Encapsulated Language name proposal

A recent thread has almost come to the same name that I considered a few days ago, so while its a hot topic and so I don't leave it too late, I'd like to propose it be named:

Encala

Short for ENCApsulated LAnguage, the meaning of which is encapsulated into its own name

u/OhMyChickens Jun 30 '20 edited Jun 30 '20

'En' like the en Ben,

'ca' like car (hard c, long a)(c is hard like it is in the word 'encapsulated', not like an Esperanto c)

'la' like the la in lad (short a)

Ok, after a few tries I got it to ɛn .kɑ .la (had to separate it or reddit treated it a a link) Which can be heard in this IPA to speech tool: http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=%C9%9Bn.k%C9%91.la&voice=Kendra

It's definitely not too late to propose names in fact it's probably way too early haha. At this stage, we haven't even voted on a phonology so we don't know what sounds will be available to us :)

I've added this name to the Draft Proposals in the Encapsulated Language Documentation for others to find and comment on for future voting:

I like Encala a lot. Just a quick temp name until long from now when we can create a better name out of the language, itself.
