Zompist Bboard Again

Just popping here to ask how that project's coming along :) Thanks for asking! :) I didn't have much freetime last week and I'm still working on the phonology part. I've been looking at phonetic charts of many different siberian languages (maybe I overdid it a little bit :| ) I also noticed that I ...

What do you think: is it a good idea to go for an agglutinative language as a beginner, or should I stick with my original plan of an analytic language? I'm equally open to both possibilities, but I'm not sure I can do a complex agglutinating grammar properly. Hungarian can help, yes, but it gets s...

According to the the feedback you guys have provided, and seeing how excited you were about the paleosiberian concept (although some of you would be equally interested in an analytic language), I've decided on an agglutinative language inspired by today's paleosiberian languages . This way, I can al...

(Also, I’m fairly sure that German is fusional, not agglutinative.) You're right, my mistake. What I meant is that I can easily imagine an agglutinative version of german. What exactly do you mean by this? I’m struggling to understand what exactly it would mean for a language to have an ‘agglutinat...

Then where do you imagine agglutinative languages come from? Did humans evolve with three languages - one agglutinating, one fusional and one isolating - and all their descendents have stuck to those categories ever since? No, I already know that languages can become agglutinating, but I thought fo...

I’m just wondering: do you have any idea yet of what you want this language to look like, apart from it being ‘simplistic’? I have an idea about the phonology, which I'll share soon. I have some ideas about syntax and grammar too, but I don't want to go into details before the agglutinative/analyti...

Thank you all for your help and remarks, bradrn, Xwtek, Ars Lande, Frislander and Salmoneus! I didn't expect to get so much attention in such a short time! I think you all made a good point and I have lot to think about. And please don't fight, I'm completely fine. I'm not a snowflake. Snowflakes ar...

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner conlanger and I'm looking for some help with my first conlang. If you're interested, you can find the details below. ---- About me I'm a native hungarian speaker. Besides that, I speak english kind of fluently, german on a basic level and I know some esperanto, too. I'...
