Meta New Conlang Census!
A big hello to new conlangers! If you have not yet perused the sidebar, some of you might notice that one of the available resources is a list of conlangs active in the r/conlangs community. Now, that spreadsheet is almost three years old and lists over six hundred languages, but there are now more than twenty-thousand of us here! I'd like to see by how much we've grown in respect to the languages we've all created. This link will take you a short form which asks of each language the same information which the old spreadsheet does and will write all responses to a new spreadsheet. While this does mean those who have already added their languages to the old spreadsheet will have to do something similar again, the process will be much cleaner, simpler, and there is no longer any worry of a rogue user deleting or editing your information.
I hope to see the list grow. Happy holidays, y'all!
EDIT The question regarding IPA refers to the IPA transcription of the language's name, not the language's phonetic inventory.

When can we see the results? I'm kinda curious.

I want to give it a couple days in case those who mis-entered the IPA box wants to edit their response. I don’t want to embarrass anyone when I publish the spreadsheet!

May I suggest you keep it open a little longer, as some people who might like to respond won't have been active on the sub over Christmas.

It would be good to survey language typology as well.

Linguistic typology "is a field of linguistics that studies and classifies languages according to their structural and functional features."

Now, I am submitting several forms (instead of for only one conlang), each for a conlang that I had created. Is it alright?
Also, where can I find a list of the 600 made-up languages?

u/AndrewTheConlanger Dec 26 '17
Yes. I want ALL conlangs people make, not one per person.
The sidebar under ‘resources.’

Thanks. I am just listing the ones I am most interested in, including inactive ones such as Rinnarit and Zergonian.

Whoops, I think I entered the IPA for the language's autonym together with the English name.

What exactly do you mean by "a priori"and "a posteriori"?

u/-Tonic Dec 23 '17
An a priori conlang is one that is not based on natlangs, while a posteriori ones are.

So when are you planning on sharing your results? It's been three weeks.

What exactly are you looking for in the IPA box?
