Conlang - Blog Posts
ADHD hobbies are so odd because it's 830 pm and I'm trying to decide if I want to organize the alphabet of my artlang or finish hand sewing my purse made out of denim from jeans I've been saving for 3 years, and I started both of these projects this morning
New Scugsona..
Drawing anthro Saint for the first time!
I apologize if Saint's design seems "boring", however I did not want to adorn him in order to match his beliefs. If I were to, I would put each accessory with purpose; each having meaning as to why they would be on him, but I need to brainstorm for a teensy bit. For example, the malas beads have purpose! They help one count how many times they have repeated their mantra.
The long quote, Saint says, "taw'ag samsadasaŋ sahija aŋsagil. seimpojani yoŋija lam pagsimagilhaj kol'o amanja sagilgo. tul dakikonnawa kol sak'o dakilgochigol sahiga naka." Essentially, it is another (lengthened via the last sentence) mantra he just repeats from time to time. The language he is speaking is a conlang made by @opashoo here on Toomblr!
Let me know if I should color this and draw more of Smnainmmtnian anthro version.

Watercolor with Yoŋasabi
The most recent one was finished—I think—two days ago, which is before I gained access to Yoŋasabi's font-thingy, so the glyphs aren't written properly. Sorry!
Yoŋasabi Glyph Practice.
Ah! I have tried my best...! I don't *exactly* know what I'm doing with all of this, but I am sure I have a decent grasp. I am still making a bunch of mistakes of course—some I most likely don't even notice, haha! For example, the Monk glyph is pretty confusing (you can see my confusion at the top of the page with the least writing). When there is the sound "aki", do I put the Monk glyph *then* "ki"? Do I attach both vowels like I did? Unsure, but that is the best part. Yoŋasabi is a conlang created by @opashoo here for oPashoo's Rain World AU! It is free to use and learn, yet it is still being tweaked and updated. Tell me how I did, y'all! (First post BTdubs).
man i want to worldbuildd soooo baddd..... no creativity.....
all my homies hate creating a pleasant sounding phonology and phonotactics this shit sucks how do i do this
she a 10 but she use absolutive-ergative alignment
Currently making a conlang.
"Rock" in this language is "yey". It's pronounced exactly that. Sash lim yey tit.
There's also "Pashsal" meaning "white, bright or day". "Black, dark or night" is "lasshap" the opposite of "pashsal". Sash pashsal piy lasshap lim shammur tapsat.
"Tarrat" is "fire". Sash rishlem tarrat map ruj. :3
Longest word with over 13 letters iiiis "Tutpuysemrishlem", which just means "fisherman". Three word combo.
And now for something completely different... again...
We’ve all heard of aUI, right? A theoretical universal language constructed by Viennese psychoanalyst W. John Weilgart, with a dictionary of over 11111 words compiled by whoever Andrea G. Weilgart Patten is. It was designed to construct words from singular elements of meaning, each with their own intuitive grapheme and phoneme, arranged such that all homophonous words are also related. The lofty idea of the language of space is that these elements are so fundamental it could be used and understood effectively and efficiently by any intelligent creature in the universe, hence its title: the Language of Space.

I… LOVE THIS IDEA! Love it to bits! It’s a beautiful intersection of linguistics, psychology, the philosophy of consciousness, symbolism, and emergence. It’s exactly the kind of project a nerd like me would work on if I believed I could and had thought of it first. But does aUI actually achieve that idea? I have several doubts.
So great was that initial inspiration that I took it upon myself to help it over its stumbling blocks, to produce... aUI2. Really.
I am aware of efforts such as this which aims to tweak the vocabulary and grammar until it's a bit more bearable, but that doesn't satisfy me. It's not up to the VISION, you understand! Unity, precision, so irrefutable it could be the words of reality itself. The language of space and time and all that ever was. I'll let you be the judge...
Yeah I also don't know what to do with this but it's pretty neat, right? :P

If you are a conlanger, a group from the University of Washington is looking for your input as they set about to create some conlanging software! The survey is fairly short (~5 minutes), and please feel free to share!
Documentation from my final critique in drawing!
I loved this class and everyone in it, critique was great and everyone's work was stunning :]
