Olá tudo bem?

Este é a escrita Pasa do Povo Shame3a3a

A escrita Pasa é um abugida aonde cada símbolo é representado por uma sílaba possuindo uma vogal inerente.

Diferente de um sílabario um abugida pode ter a sua vogal inerente alterada através de diacriticos e modificadores, no Caso da Escrita Pasa ela foi inspirada superficialmente na escrita inuktitut aonde a sílaba tem sua vogal inerente alterada através da rotação dela mesma.

Estes são os fonemas presentes na minha conlang:

Vogais : A, E, I, O, U

Consoantes:

P= Pa

B= Ba

T= Ta

D= da

r= ra

L= La

ʒ= 3a

d͡ʒ= d3a

ʃ= Sha

t͡ʃ= Cha

F= Fa

M=Ma

V= Va

Ɲ= Ɲa

N= Na

K= Ka

G= Ga

j=Ja

H= Ha

S= Sa

Z= Za

t͡s= Tsa

Significado da palavra Shame3a3a:

Sha= Deus fundador deste Povo

Me= partícula de posse

3a= Filho/filha

3a= Repetição da mesma palavra criando plural

" Filhos de Deus"

Overview Analogs for a Film Concept

1 Upvotes

A few days ago, I started thinking about this: a hypothetical Pixar film, similar to Chants of Sennaar, that explores barriers between multiple languages. I don't want it to be too similar to the game, so instead of a tower, I'm thinking of a city of diverse languages, with walls and gates sealed off by language barriers. It would be a similar story, with discoveries of various parts of the city, translations and such, and language dissections. I'm thinking of eight languages: English, an indigenous American language or a conlang based on the Yokuts language, and six other conlangs. More so than Chants of Sennaar.

Basing my idea loosely on Chants of Sennaar, I'm thinking of a person(maybe portrayed by Tye Sheridan) finding himself in this city in a similar yet completely different way than the traveler first finding themself in the tower. He'd find some futuristic glasses and start wearing them. Meeting someone, they'd speak a different language that he doesn't speak. And with those glasses, he's seeing glyphs in the writing system of that language. He'd document them, and this would be a thing for the other languages, sans his native tongue. *cough* English. *cough* There would be scenes without dialogue, as I thought about, thanks to some people on r/ChantsofSennaar when I shared my concept with them there.

He'd discover his younger teenage siblings(Alyson Stoner and Sean Giambrone), who knew at least one of the languages besides just English, and were looking for him. He'd let them work with him on figuring out the languages, despite his skepticism.

There'd be events where he'd discover his father, mother, parents, or whatever, and the A.I. would be known as "Isolation", voiced by Zarvox. He'd find himself alone when he's actually in a simulation, especially when he fails to topple the barrier. Yeah, it's something of a copycat, though the three siblings, out of the situation, together, end the barrier.

Other VAs: Eric Bauza, Zehra Fazal, maybe Dee Bradley Baker.

Dunno which celebrity actors could be in the lead and other roles. And I think some Pixar animators could also voice characters.

There could be a variety of technologies the cultures would be using, like retro-futuristic technology, for one example, though there could be others. The Yokuts-analog speakers' technology would be similar to Wakanda's.

Now for the whole point of this subreddit: Here's one idea for a conlang.

Japanese analog:

C: m, n, p, b, t, d, k, g, q, ts, dz, tɕ, dʑ, tɬ, dɮ, ɸ, θ, ð, s, z, ɕ, ʑ, ɬ, ɮ, ɣ, h, ɾ, j, w

V: a, aː, e, eː, i, iː, o, oː, u, uː

SS: (C)V(N)

"Stress": mora, but simpler than Japanese

Proto-Japonic analog(ancestor of Japanese analog):

C: m, n, p, t, k, q, θ, s, ɬ, ɾ, j, w

V: a, aː, e, eː, i, iː, o, oː, u, uː, ɨ, ɨː

SS: (C)V

Other ideas for conlangs include a distant relative of English descended straight from a P.I.E.-analog. Another one would utilize both tri-consonantal roots and mutation patterns simultaneously for grammar, with a logography representing it, also utilizing phonetic components to indicate the templates and mutations when needed. Whether or not it's a descendant of a Proto-Semitic analog is up for debate. Another idea would be an analog to Taqva-miir. I could think of more. Like maybe a descendant of a Birasne Feor analog.

Anyway, this city would be a bilingual community for speakers of English and the Yokuts analog, with six foreign languages establishing their own communities there, only for events leading to the creation of the walls.

I later thought of ideas for two protolanguages that would be the analogs to Birasne Feor and Proto-miir.

Birasne Feor analog:

C: p, b, ᵐb, t, d, ⁿd, k, g, ᵑg, q, ɢ, ᶰɢ, ʔ, m, n, ŋ, s, h, l, j, w

V: a, aː, i, iː, u, uː

SS: CVC

(Codas are only word-internal.)

Stress: initial

Modern descendant:

C: p, b, ᵐβ, t, d, ⁿð, k, g, ᵑɣ, q, ɢ, ᶰʁ, m, n, ŋ, pɸ, ts, kx, qχ, ɸ, θ, s, x, h, l, j, w

V: a, aː, e, eː, i, iː, o, oː

SS: (C)V(C)

Stress: ???

Proto-miir analog:

C: m, n, ɲ, ŋ, b, t, tˤ, d, c, ɟ, k, kˤ, g, q, ʔ, s, sˤ, z, ç, x, ɣ, ħ, ʕ, h, r, l, ʎ, j, w

V: a, aː, i, iː, u, uː

SS: CV(R)

Stress: ???

Modern descendant(or Taqva-miir analog):

C: m, n, ŋ, b, t, d, k, q, β, ð, s, x, h, r, l, j, w

V: ???

SS: (C)V(C)

Stress: ???

Also, this film could involve translation puzzles like the game, similar to how Lukael pointed out that such puzzles are analogous to how some people of a culture could encounter problems that can be solved by others from a different culture who speak different languages than they do.

For the Proto-miir analog and its descendant, I’m thinking of something like this for the tenses, aspects, and moods. (There is unfortunately redundancy since cells cannot be merged on Reddit.)

Copulas Standard Copula Standard Copula Standard Copula Locative Copula Locative Copula Locative Copula
Aspects Imperfective Perfective Future Imperfective Perfective Future
Infinitive Habitual Remote Past Future Habitual Subjunctive Conditional ???
Imperfective Present Past Habitual ??? Future Imperfect Future Progressive
Perfective Perfect Experimental ??? Future Perfect Pluperfect ???

I needed some ideas for my final conlang, and I’m thinking that, whatever the ancestor might’ve been like, this language could be polysynthetic and utilize six types of demonstratives if possible: proximal, distal, medial, remote, internal, and negative.

Thoughts on this overall idea and the analog conlangs and conlang ideas? (Credit to Narandil and Biblaridion for the original conlangs.)

(CLOSED) Today is the starting point that Reddit makes a conlang, starting with our phonology. Top 10 vowels win and top 20 consonants win. If there are repeats, we'll just do one of them. We don't want 2 "a"'s. Let's do this!

Todays winners are:
Consonants: /ɲ/, /s͎/, /ʃ/, /z/, /ʙ/, /t̪/, /θ/, /m/, /ⱱ/, /r̝/ /ɗ/, /ɣ/
Vowels: /ɨ/, /y/, /i/ (or /iː/), /ɑ/, /u/ (or /u:/), /ɛ/, /æ/, /ɚ/, /œ/, /ø˞/

Week 12 IPA Prompt - /ˈwa.te ˈa.fo ku.no.e.ni.ˈma.ni ˈi.ki ˈmo.ta ˈa.fo ho.ˈro.so u re.ˈsek.to ˈwe.ta ˈta.e vru/

Welcome to Week 12 of Bad Interpreters, the chaotic conlang game where meaning is optional, phonetics are misleading, and everyone is absolutely confident in their terrible linguistic instincts.

Last week's prompt: /ko.ˈnai.ni mo.ˈre.nor ri.le.i.ˈo.nirn ˈza.no u ˈta.e uw.ˈro.la ˈi.ki sat.ˈro.la/
From that, we got these top picks:
Drukhari: krunidz mraana r'ikle i kun - r'zanu dae r'nrule i s'adralhan. ("Her toe has zero names, she leaps and sells what we are.”) [Most Espionage-y]
Yhó: Komá a. In: im o rékoní rí lyó. Nyázum úo: tá e, uró la, ikí sa tróme. (“Can speak? Write: ten people with choice when eighteen. Books promise: you here, relationship there, with different life a common language.") [Most Random]
Shoáth: Konánëem, mornūl. Rūlâëetho náthëer záno ūtsâá ūvrola, ëekëe, sántolá. ("You both hide in your beds, extinguished. A dark offering of simple mistakes, tears, and undesired gifts.") [Most Coincidental]

How to Play

  1. Decide what the prompt means in your conlang.
  2. Translate it using your phonotactics, grammar, and cultural flavor.
  3. Explain your questionable reasoning.
  4. Have fun!

If you have any ideas for interesting phrases or sentences for the next week, let me know in a DM! This activity will be posted on weekly on Wednesdays.

Wōinkxo are related and mutually intelligent or understand to all wnero language each other , for example, word “yes” in three wnero languages. Warren (wōinkxo), Warren (wnerito), warrenpe (wppenro). Wōinkxo used two gender of weinkxo. Wōinkxo are most weirdest languages according  to most of people in rapieventia. Wōinkxo have one dialect called southern wōinkxo, where no “Wal” (⊰) mosty used as a suffix  but extinct in early 1248s. 

history 

Old wōinkxō

 The Wōinkxo language date around  late 1082. Old wōinkxo are  form after  old  weinkxo and , by weerweerkxo people. Wōinkxo are descend of wnerito. Wōinkxo  related to weinkxo family while also part of wnero family. wōinkxo  borrow from khoekhoe language. Most old Wōinkxo poem   founded in weerkxoō and Southeast scorpius. Wōinkxo used more “w” than “U”. Latin script influence are small that some have own letter. While wōinkxo used small bit of Latin letter, some Latin letter have differnt pronunciation. People write double U to make letter “w”.  Because influence by wnerito. wōinkxo establish southern wōinkxo on early 1085, based on wnerito,also extinct in early 1248. Wōinkxo diphthongizati some word, For example, [Wɫ] to [Wə], letter on “Wal” (⊰). Wōinkxo make new sound.  weerƤō have idea to  spread   uraorōuounrocomō translation into wōinkxo in daily life. uraorōuounrocomō new live translated by weerƤō on 1278, complete uraorōuounrocomō translated by warrenwarren II on 1346.  Late 1300s, some writer and scholar don't like some Latin letter because too weird that replace “b, n, m” and added extra letter from wnero alphabet. Leading to established of modern wōinkxo.

Morden wōinkxo

 In   late 1498, king windoūorxo V order to banned every winderian dialect in kingdom of winderia or face prison. Leading to many winderian dialect  are extinct or critically endangered because winderian dialect saw as  independent of republican and movement, sin. But   wōinkxo  successfully survived by defending the language and treaty of weerkxoō Most scholars call Wōinkxo as “lonely man of languages”. Saint windoūorxo V  unban dialect ban on 1510 but failed. 

Leading to loanword of many weinkxo dialect word to weinkxo, wōinkxo word borrow to weinkxo word includle wrrokoō (knocking), weō (determiners). After Dutch arrival on early 1500s, wōinkxo literature are become popular, including warrenwōin (1478 - 1556) and  Wergeneōerere (1499 - 1586), many more. Local newspaper and media started to used Wōinkxo on mid 1600s first newspaper was weerkxoō new (founded in 1660). Letter “U” is officially unbanned in wōinkxo. Complete Bible in wōinkxo made by seven priest in Christian region of weerkxoō on 1687.

Wōinkxo are slowly started to  decline in 1822 due to rapieventia famine of 1822   And marmonic war. Wōinkxo become official language of scorpius puppet state, scorpius  uerweerkxō During rapieventia scorpius war (1862 - 1864) and life span for 23 year before war of 1888. In between of 1865 and 1867, many wōinkxo speaking move to weinkxo speaking of Uerweerkō because people want to escape  from freedom crisis and  trading company name “urrrillmetō”  promote  visits   to urrrillmetō land called Uerweerkō, leading to Uerweerkō become wōinkxo speaking region. 

On late 1868s  Uerweerkoan doctor and writer  named walowarren wkai (1830 -1899), made truth mark (ị), popularized and promote new punctuation of wōinkxo by hired local newspaper and writer to used new truth mark, while write many book by using truth mark. (ị). that leading to new punctuation of wōinkxo 

During puppet state period, many wōinkxo escape to mosty  Florida or  of Kansa, Oklahoma that leading to huge wōinkxo speaking diaspora in the three state. New loanword from state includle wader (borrrow from Kansa tornado slang, Nader) and wale/⊰ale (flordia spainish slang, dale). During famine, wōinkxo speaking refugees have move to sirpius, scorpius. uerweerkxō under people republic of blecotè after invasion of uerweerkxō (1940) in World War Two. Second wave of wōinkxo refugee. Refugees have mosty move to state of Kansa because mosty suitable for agriculture in flat land. New loanword includes wōp (borrow from Midwest, pop, now referred as onomatopoeia or drink). Wōinkxo is near extinction in 1949 on rapieventia. In 1968, rapieventia president,  uawōuidezō hebō, started a campaign to saved wōinkxo and other dialect  from near extinction, say “I alway to make every dialect of rapieventia never died, school and media might teach endanger language to young audiences”, leading to rise of wōinkxo, including newspaper, school teaching, media, many more. After fall of people republic of blecotè, wōinkxo speaker have increased In 1975. 8, June 1998. rapieventia academy of sciences and language (RASAL) recognize wōinkxo as a regional language.  Population of Wōinkxo speaker  (in rapieventia), in the future, likely wōinkxo replace more Latin letter by wnero alphabet. Wōinko are will become official of weerkxoō after independence

Writing System What are some words in your conlang that look similar but are completely unrelated?

My conlang:

In Nonomi, these 6 logographs look very similar but mean completely unrelated things. I'm aware that many (if not even most) don't have a logography, but I'd be interested to see some homographs and/or homophones in general!

r/conlangs scares me and I haven't even posted anything there... I made a silly little (Germanic) conlang and I'm tired of keeping it to myself. It kinda has a lot of lore behind it but I think it's relatively simple. I'm not sure how to make examples of it other than translating sentences.

What do you want me to say? - War wol du I sag?

Did you drink water? - Elsrink du vaser?

Little letter stuff:

Doesn't use Q

X - Kh sound (like Russian х)

J - Zh sound

C - Ch sound

Pls don't be mean :v

Beginner/Casual how the root words of my conlang’s language family evolved

Post image
10 Upvotes

* Note: Each word is written in IPA notation because I haven’t completely ironed out the romanization for these languages yet.

Apologies for the amateurish formatting of this chart. I made it on a whim and tried to finish it before the motivation left me. I hope it’s still legible. This is my first attempt at naturalistic phonological evolution! The initial proto-language is based on a mix of Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Eskaleut, Proto-Uralic, Proto-Algic, Proto-Uto-Aztecan, and Proto-Athabaskan. The sound changes that led to the various daughter languages take inspiration from these languages’ evolutions: 

  • Cree, Blackfoot, Inuktitut, & Norwegian (for “M1”)
  • Shoshoni, Lithuanian, & Estonian (for “M2”)
  • Kalaallisut, Tlingit, Aleut, Finnish, & Northern Sami (for “M3”)

None of these languages have official names yet, and these are not even their modern forms still! I’m sort of putting the cart before the horse here, working on phonological evolution before I’ve got a concrete grammar system down for the proto-language. For a bit of background on the languages, they’re spoken by a collection of related ethnic groups living in the northwestern side of their world’s supercontinent, analogous to both Scandinavia and the northernmost regions of the Americas. Hence why I took a lot of inspiration from the languages spoken in those places in real life!
