A vision of Future Japanese

A different type of conlanging, a-posteriori, which I rarely do. Now let’s work on that phonology.

First post in a few days on my blog, over at langwyrm.wordpress.com
This one covers the Furotiu glyph and Tiu'ē word for house/home.

So I read The City & the City, then watched The City the City, and then I wrote over 6000 words analysing the two languages featured in The City & the City, one of which is literally just English but with diacritics. Let's go on an adventure together

Is it possible to construct a language with only a few vowels and consonants? See this question and its answer:

This thing has so many different names it’s probably the prototypical example.

An innocent phrase learnt as part of something else gains an unusual nuance.

Just wandering around Lemmy looking for conlanging communities. Saw this one linked in the sidebar of !worldbuilding@lemmy.world .

I happen to be partial to xenolangs, and the above is a sample of Commonthroat, a language inspired by the sounds my dog makes when he’s dreaming. The “Romanization”, if you can call it that, is rCFqKqmqn, pronounced /chuff, long rising strong whine, huff, long high strong growl, huff, short low strong grunt, huff, short high weak grunt/, and means egg eater.

The script is read from right to left, and as the phrase reverse abjad implies, the letters are vowels (whines, growls, or grunts) and the diacritics are consonants (huffs, chuffs, or yips). Both tone and volume are significant in vowels.

The idea is fun, but has risks, especially when no one expects to use it after an unexpected situation.
