Re: Linguistic Miscellany Thread
So I was listening to a French song, and the words "de leur amour plus bleu que le ciel autour" caught my attention. Is it a thing French generally do: calling love blue? Doors the phrase have any specific connotation in the language, or is it just something that the author of the lyrics t...

Re: Is my script insane enough, too insane, or anadew?
and spend some time with each glyph. The overall presentation of the script should improve immensely and you'll have learned (gotten comfortable with) the script. 150 pages of lines, here I come! You haven't really stated how developed the conlang itself is, if I'm correct. Maybe the VC glyphs trig...

Re: The most difficult things about conlanging
I would say it's making sure that the language your grammar describes is actually the language you think it describes. I mean, with natural language you can always refer to a native speaker and ask if your inheritance of the grammar is how people actually speak. But when it comes to conlangs, especi...

Re: Is my script insane enough, too insane, or anadew?
Absolutely awesome idea. Oh, thank you. Please do anyway, you've made me curious. The phonology isn't interesting at all really, it's just the standard /a ɔ ɪ u ɛ/. That means the consonants themselves are underspecified for celestial positions? Yes, if I understand you correctly. In the proto-scri...

Re: Is my script insane enough, too insane, or anadew?
Looks good. Thank you. Were you inspired by the cipher code in the 2006 movie "Prestige"? Haven't seen the movie. If there was a specific point of inspiration, that would be the moment from Solaris, when the protagonist thinks he may be asleep, and reads the same list several times to see...

And the whole scrip (subject to change).
PS
Some of the T glyphs look very familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen them.

Is my script insane enough, too insane, or anadew?
For a long time, I wanted to make a writing system, where orthography would depend on the position of the celestial bodies. The writing system (and a language, which uses it) is intended for a role-playing game, where the players may try to tease some extra hints out of the in-game texts, written in...
