I'm still down, and those are good ideas. Thank you.

Everyone: Please let me know what language you plan on using and I will edit into the first post.

I'll use Ineshîmé (native spelling: 咲葩). It's the only one I have with enough development, and will still probably need vocabulary if the text describes many very modern items.

I'm using Motsemotse.

I'll be entering with Áżädgä.

Though can we change our conlang choices? I'd kinda like to go with something else if it's more lexically fitting.

edit: If I've gotten it right, my turn is from 13th of May till the 19th, and the relay ends on 3rd of June.

Weather update: We should still be on track to start on Friday (Eastern time). If you need more time with your torch, let us know. If you need less time, that's fine too—you can send the torch to the next participant early. If you need to reschedule your position, we'll adapt.

No apologies necessary! I've placed you between Moose-tache and Emily—will that work?

Yes, that's perfectly OK. Just let me know.

In light of the above, your torch would be a week later.

Thanks so much! That should work well. Now to get started on writing up my conlang…

I'll be using a conlang named Galician, unrelated to actual Galician.

bradrn: here is a brief introduction to Galician. I'll send you an actual grammar in a few days, and a dictionary hopefully a few days after that. I'll still include specific grammar and vocab notes with the torch itself.

I will be using Dyelog. The master grammar is advanced enough that I'll be able to easily select specific extracts for my torch package.

Is that a pun I detect?

I’ll be sending the torch shortly (as in the next two or three hours); my apologies for the delay.

Torch passed to Rounin Ryuuji.

Seeing bradrn's reaction to the Galician grammar, I'm realizing that if trainwrecks could dream, their nightmares would be this conlang. I think I'm going to have to use a simplified version for this relay that doesn't involve as many irregular stems or unknowable syntactic double bluffs.

Well, I was half-joking… it’ll probably be fine. Anyway, the point of a relay is to misinterpret the text, isn’t it?

(Anyway, I still have a horrible feeling that I’ll end up using Wēchizaŋkəŋ, so I shouldn’t really call others’ languages too painful…)

Too late to join?

I’ve no problem with it. With what language?

Bellissimo! I think I might try Booladjirra.

Just the name Booladjirra makes me think it's con-Australian.

Little late to follow on this one, but I think that'll be about the last week I have time for conlanging before mid-June. If there's a delay of a few days, I might have to drop out.

I thought this too. I seem to recall a con-Australian pidgin which was posted here a while ago — could this be it?

No fair! I'm out here trying to learn Lojban run through a Laadan filter, and somebody gets to translate a pidgin?!?

Australian–English pidgin. Mostly Australian, actually. I recall that most of the post was devoted to talking about how difficult it was to figure out that it descended from English at all. And of course, I might be recalling a different language entirely.

EDIT: Yes, I was indeed recalling the wrong language. The creole (not pidgin) was Tyilirra, not Booladjirra. And it was from Dutch, not English.
