Zompist Bboard Again

The most succesful conlanging project I've ever had entailed shittons of translations so I might as well commit to doing it again. God willing once a day, we'll see. Tesazo is my current project; it's spoken in a large temperate plain region in the far south of my conworld; the grammatical leitmotif...

Nouns in Hayakan are relatively sparse in grammatical marking. The only inflectional morphology which appears on nouns are the possessive prefixes. These prefixes mark possessed nouns, for the person and number of their possessor. https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/9216_23_05_19_4_37_55.png r...

Here's some information about Hayakan, a sketch which I retooled into a conlang for a class which I had where I had to make a conlang. I've never been super satisfied with it, but I like some things about it a lot, like the numerals and the general phonaesthetic. I've talked about it and it's settin...

Sadly, the commitments of graduation and a family visit have set me behind, so I'm going to refresh this challenge--7:18 pm on 5/14.

The maps 're nice, but I admit my first thought was that it looked like a bedroom. If more interesting features appear outside the focus area it would look more realistic. There's a big archipelago to the south--I have a hand-drawn map of the island groups and climates somewhere if I can dig it up....

BTW the intersection and comparison of prejudice rarely says things like rich women are more powerful than poor men, but rather that there are privileges that come from wealth and others that come from perceived gender, and that which privileges are more powerful is highly context dependent and eve...

I'm going to talk a little bit about the development of religion in this conworld. More specifically, I'm focusing on the religion of the Garanih, the region which includes Axanak, Parvary, Gahal, Walesa, and Guney. https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/9216_28_04_19_10_26_31.png (This is a map ...

And there's someone whose maps are as rubbish as mine! Looking forward to more Haha! Love the solidarity! https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/9216_28_03_19_1_15_09.png Here's a map of the world, with a political map overlayed with the languages. Teal is the distribution of Ussaria, while ligh...

I've been working on a project recently, set in the same world as Ussaria . More specifically, it's the Axanic family, a small dialect continuum whose most salient representatives are Heolese, my primary focus, and Axanic, a close cousin (think French to Spanish). The name come from Axanak, the name...

This is very cool. I especially enjoy word initial <ss> for /s/; that's fun and gives it a distinctive flavor.

Are there any particular semantic changes or developments from Proto-Slavic which you enjoy?
