Hi, I'm Aquatiki. I tend to obsess over languages for a long time and be years in development.  In grad school, I studied Semitics (Hebrew and related languages), and I got into conlanging as a fun way to be sure I understood what I was learning.


Hi, I'm Robert Murphy, a.k.a. AquatikiI'm still relatively new at conlanging. I am in grad school studying Semitics (Hebrew and related languages). I find conlanging a fun way to be sure I understand what I'm learning.

==Fake Worlds and Their Fake Languages==
== My Universes ==
* One where people learn my naturalistic auxlang
===[[Universal Languages]] ===
** '''[[Weddish]]'''
Our world, but synthetic languages facilitate international relations:
:: Weddish is basically an Ergative, Dual, Yiddish auxlang.  It was made for a class on marriage, so it's meant to encourage better communication, especially for Jews who intermarry.
* '''[[Dan'a'yo]]''' - Sinosphere
* [[w:Harry Potter universe|Harry Potter Universe]]
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Neo-Sanskrit]]''' - Hindi Belt (Indo-Aryan languages)
** '''[[Parseltongue]]'''
* '''[[Intralingua]]''' - Romance-language world
:: Dr. Francis Nolan was commission by the HP movie makers to create a phonology and a few sentences, which he was very gracious to share with me.  I expanded upon them greatly, bringing in further [[w:Estonians language|Estonian]] influences, and adding [[w:Dravidian languages|Dravidian]] and [[w:Bantu languages|Bantu]] ideas.
* '''[[Folksprak]]''' - Germania (Germanic languages)
* Oceanic Jews (primarily located off-site)
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Kintu]]''' - Bantusphere (Bantu languages)
** '''[[Proto-Austronesian Hebrew]]'''
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Indo-Malaysian]]''' - Maritime Southeast Asia
:: Primarily using [[w:Ugaritic language|Ugaritic]], I have reconstructed a best-guess of what Hebrew sounded like in 1000 B.C. and imagined what would happen if they were hauled off to the Philippines and interacted with something like [[w:Proto-Austronesian language|Proto-Austronesian]] or [[w:Tagalog language|Tagalog]].
* '''[[Guosa]]''' - West Africa
:* '''[[Proto-Polynesian Hebrew]]'''
* '''[[Interslavic]]''' - Slavisphere
:: Using the previous language as a base, I plan on mashing up Hebrew with [[w:Māori language|Māori]]
* '''[[Middle Semitic]]''' - Israel+Arab_World
* Something like the [[w:Fictional universe of Avatar]]
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/MSEAL]]''' - Indochina
** '''[[Syreni]]'''
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Dravindian]]''' - South India
:: An utterly polysynthetic exolang, completely without nouns.
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Zens]]''' - Greater Persia
* An insane, ancient/modern world
* '''[[Jalpi]]''' - Pan-Turkey
:: After I learn Akkadian, I plan on mashing it up with Classical Chinese.
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/SEDES]]''' - Ethiopian language area
* '''[[Balkan]]''' - Balkans
* '''[[Samboka]]''' - Finno-Ugric languages
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Caucas]]''' - Caucasus
=== Naturalistic Auxlang ===
* '''[[Weddish]]'''
:: Weddish is an auxlang, with an overly extensive history.  Old Frisian became influenced by Old Welsh, was conquered by Hebrew, and once again returned to the Welsh.
* '''[[Japhethite]]'''
:: Japhetite is a polysynthetic, triconsonantal, semitic-inspired auxlang.

* '''[[Parseltongue]]'''
I use ''aquatiki'' just about everywhere on the internet.  As far as a conlang presence goes, I started out on FrathwikiIt is fine, but Linguifex seems much more polishedWikia was really limiting.
: Dr. Francis Nolan was commission by the HP movie makers to create a phonology and a few sentences, which he was very gracious to share with me.  I expanded upon them greatly, bringing in further [[w:Estonians language|Estonian]] influences, and adding [[w:Dravidian languages|Dravidian]] and [[w:Bantu languages|Bantu]] ideas.
=== [[Oceanic Hebrew]] ===
the Semitic slaves were sold to Babylon ... then India ... then the Philippines ... and eventual migrated to New Zealand.
* '''[[Austronesian Hebrew]]'''
*: Primarily using [[w:Ugaritic language|Ugaritic]], I have reconstructed a best-guess of what Hebrew sounded like in 1000 B.C. and imagined what would happen if they were hauled off to the Philippines and interacted with something like [[w:Proto-Austronesian language|Proto-Austronesian]] or [[w:Tagalog language|Tagalog]].
* '''[[Polynesian Hebrew]]'''
*: Using the previous language as a base, I mashed up Ancient Hebrew with [[w:Māori language|Māori]]
** '''[[Neo-Oceanic Hebrew]]'''
**: My only attempt at a Minimalist Lang, I spun it out of PPHThe endonym is rōŋo·ŋo Pāru, but NOH is the English name for itIt's an attempt at a Biblical answer to Toki Pona (which I think is outspokenly Taoist).
