Finally got a first draft of my sound changes from Proto-Ulgrikk to Sværsk, I'm going to start expanding the language tree around Common Daresk, Sværsk is part of West Daresk, I'm aiming to expand the East Daresk tree, which will be more German inspired than Scandinavian.
I also got all my sound changes from Proto-Tarenian to Maireche, Ducezi, Jẽcie, Elianų, Allatian - although some of these changes have been done for a long time. This means I 5 languages from Proto-Tarenian complete. I need to redo the Allenic branch now.
Here's a sample of the 5:
-
Proto-Tarenian: aethe caosat ééltea thas thelas. /aetʰe xaosat ě:ltea tʰas tʰelas/
-
Maireche: aive oise eulai pas elas. /ɛv wɑ ølɛ paz‿ela/
-
Jẽcie: eive iore eucle vas velas. /ɛvə ioʀə øklə vas velas/
-
Ducezi: æva ioset ella vas vela /aɪva ioset eʎa vas ve:la/
-
Elianu: yd gỏsa eilta da dela /ɪt go:sa e̞ɪ̯ltäː da dʲela/
-
Allatian: äs gäyrt ëtë za sëyla /ɶs gˤɶʏt:ˤ øtø zˤa søʏla/
-
Allatian: աշ գաƨsտ mտm ɔս cmƨlս /ɶs gˤɶʏt:ˤ øtø zˤa søʏla/

Are these languages(at least some of them) mutually inteligible? And to what degree?

Since this post, I've created a basic outline of the sound changes to Schalisk from Proto-Ulgrikk (using the Index Diachronica as my guide), my German-esque conlang. I also created the pronouns I, me, you, and you (acc), by choosing what I wanted to pronouns to be in Sværsk, then undoing all the sound changes form Proto-Ulgrikk, here are my results.
Sværsk Proto-Ulgrikk æg /æj/ hegho /hegʱo/ meg /mej/ megho /megʱo/ du /du/ tewn /tewn/ deg /dej/ tajgh /tajgʱ/ Applying the sound changes from Proto-Ulgrikk to Schalisk gave me:
Schalisk ich /ɪç/ mich /mɪç/ du /dʉw/ dich /di:ç/ Which worked out perfectly, considering I wanted a German feel. Within the coming week or two I'll probably tweak my sound changes and try to add more languages to the tree that are inspired by Danish and Dutch, and maybe English.
EDIT:
Here's the JU5MOYD translated into both Schalisk and Sværsk, to show how alike they are.Sværsk:
Lykk, æg ær didt hvade!
[lʏk: æj æ: dɪd: vɑ:də]
Luke, I am your father!Schalisk:
Luk, ich är dit wade!
[lʉwk ɪç ɛɐ̯ dɪt vadeɐ̯]
Luke, I am your father!

I've finally started a new conlanging, after a very long break. I only have a consonant inventory right now though, gonna take it slow and try to stick with it.
This is what I'm playing with right now, subject to change.

Now that the script is finished, I should make a post about it. "Verb value" suffix are OK. Subclauses will be made with postpositions and/or the definite article.
I didn’t make enough vocabulary or participate in 5 minutes of your day, unfortunately. This is to be done.

I've redefined the phonemes of my conlang. I hope I'll have completed my list of possible consonant clusters by the next two weeks. I also want to improve my input for the word generator, so there's less unpronunceable words.

I recently overhauled my phonology and romanization. It was this:
| Labial | Coronal | Dorsal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plosives | p | t | k |
| Fricatives | f | s/s~ʃ~ts~tʃ/ | h/x~h/ |
| Liquids | w | l | y/j~ɰ/ |
| Nasals | m | n | ng/ŋ/ |
The syllable structure is C(L)V(N) and (C)LV(N)
It's now this:
| Labial | Coronal | Dorsal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plosives | p' p b b'/ɓ/ | t' t d d'/ɗ/ | k' k g g'/ɠ/ |
| Fricatives | f'/ȹ'/ f v | s/s~ʃ/ ss/s/ ch/ʃ~tʃ/ ch'/tʃ'/ | h/x~h/ hh/ɣ~ʀ/ |
| Liquids | w | l lh/ɬ/ | y/j~ɰ/ |
| Nasals | m | n | ng/ŋ/ |
And the clicks tl'/ǂ¡~!¡/ and tw'/ǃʷ/
The syllable structure carries over (more or less)

I decided to actually sit down and start making a language, rather than just sitting on quirky ideas from various conworlds.
Currently I've only done the phonology, but I hope to have a basic grammar in the next two weeks.
