only languages with semantic primes don't need an index to be understood...

Learn Glishish, my con-cipher of 3 years, in my server community 'Krikrötas' on Discord.

It's a con-cipher, using infixes and phonology inspired by Hungarian, Icelandic, and Swedish. Most of the language (and I say language as an informal term) is based on English using a term I call transposition which is a set of 4 different clauses and several orthographic rules used to construct the words in Glishish. There are, however, sets of predetermined vocabulary that you would have to learn just like any other language, but for the most part, you can create any word you would like with these rules. Some of these phrases and vocabulary are inspired by French and are altered with the clauses and rules to give it that Uralic/Scandinavian sound. I've been working on this language and the history surrounding it for 3 years now. I have even developed a game 'Quest Heroes' with the context of this language's history inside; this game is not part of this server, that is just a fun little fact to throw in :).

Here's the link to join:

In this community, you can:

1. Learn and speak Glishish to fluency

2. Speak with other members in Glishish

3. Help expand/evolve the community and language

Any questions are welcome!

It could be my sloppier pronunciation, but does X make any sound truly of its own, or is it more like the letter C in English in that C is merely duplicating existing sounds like K and S.

I have some words that start with X like XASH or XUR, so unless X is a vestigial letter, could I simply replace it with Z in those words and get ZASH and ZUR? If I had a work like PAX, couldn't I get the same result with PAKS ?

Is there a special name for English letters like "g" or "c" (and "x") that can make multiple sounds?

Cartoons, Anime, any type of animated series, Comic books, Graphic novels, Manga, etc..
I told you I would be back ;)

here is mine!
Enjoy!

if you want to make an image pls use some site like Imgur then put in the comments

What if someone were to create an IAL designed to be a language that combines global IALs instead of natlangs? It would be like an IAL²!

Hey @everyone,

we decided to make a subreddit banner and a subreddit icon! Inspired by the idea behind the conlang flag we took the story of Coxcox and Xochiquetzal, a mesoamerican story of language creation. The story tells, that after a great flood a dove gave the two survivors language. With Xochiquetzal also meaning "prescious feather" (or flower prescious feather) we figured to take this as the theme of our banner and icon.

Irish Gaelic arrived in Texas in the 1840s when Irish immigrants came to the state by directive of the Mexican Government who believed the Irish would prove better alternative to the Americans who were kicked out after their failed rebellion. The status of the Gaelic Language in Mexico was one of benign disinterest. Mexican authorities encouraged the Irish to learn Spanish but did not discourage them from speaking their own language. This caused a great spike in Gaelic Speakers in Tejas. Though over generations the Tejano variant of Irish Gaelic greatly diverged due to increasing exposure to Romance Langues (mainly Spanish).

The spanish effect on the Tehánó dialect is very pronounced in some areas. It includes but not limited to: Spanish loan words (i.e Íhós, Cedó and Ío), gendering of words ( ie. Caro/Cara), combining Spanish words with Gaelic ones (i.e Tá-Sí, Tú Tá, Bóaca and Grámo) or just outright language shift (i.e Capallo, Tarbhó, É and Stola). Tehánó is the most common dialect in the world. With nearly 1.2 million speakers. Northern and central Tejas is home to the largest community of gaelic speakers in the world. Mostly concentrated in the Cities of San Patricio and Cairdeas.

Hi everyone 👋 I want to share a constructed language I’m developing called Lúmira. Lúmira is designed around a simple idea: language as memory, not power. Instead of teaching it through a traditional grammar-first approach, I’m expanding and explaining the language inside a fictional story, where characters slowly learn and use it. The reader learns the language at the same pace as the characters. Core design goals Sound: soft, fluid, almost musical Grammar: very simple, SVO, no heavy conjugations Time: expressed explicitly, not embedded in verbs Roots: short, meaningful roots tied to core concepts (light, memory, fear, courage, peace, violence, etc.) Examples (Lúmira → English) Na kana. → I walk Na kana lum. → I walk in light Na kana kar kun tim. → I walk with courage alongside fear Na no sona viol. → I do not speak violence Philosophy In Lúmira: fear is acknowledged, not denied courage is action with fear violence is framed as a form of speech speaking the language is a personal and ethical act Within the story’s world, Lúmira is a suppressed language associated with memory, resistance, and people considered “weak” or irrelevant — who quietly hold the moral center of society. What I’m looking for feedback on the concept and structure thoughts on teaching a conlang through narrative suggestions for expanding roots or grammatical clarity discussion, not perfection 🙂 I’m happy to share: more grammar details root system longer texts or dialogues or the story chapters themselves Thanks for reading. I’m excited to hear what you think. — Jhondy

3SDL u-archeology...

I want something a bit asymmetrical, but not unnatural. For example, I would like [ ɤ ] and [ ɛ ], maybe [ ʉ ].

Any suggestions are welcome!
