Hi, I'm Aquatiki.  I tend to obsess over languages for a long time and be years in developmentIn 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.

==Fake Worlds and Their Fake Languages==
== My Universes ==
I'm almost exclusively interested in "mash-langs", i.e. combining existing language.  My main worlds are:
===Universal Languages ===
Our world, but synthetic languages facilitate international relations:
* '''[[Dan'a'yo]]''' - Sinosphere
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Indo-Malaysian]]''' - Maritime Southeast Asia
* '''[[Guosa]]''' - West Africa
* '''[[Interslavic]]''' - Slavisphere
* '''[[Middle Semitic]]''' - Israel+Arab_World
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/MSEAL]]''' - Indochina
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Dravindian]]''' - South India
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Zens]]''' - Greater Persia
* '''[[Jalpi]]''' - Pan-Turkey
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/SEDES]]''' - Ethiopian language area
* '''[[Balkan]]''' - Balkans
* '''[[Samboka]]''' - Finno-Ugric languages
* '''[[User:Aquatiki/Caucas]]''' - Caucasus


* [[Universal Languages]] - Helping making zonal unity possible
=== Naturalistic Auxlang ===
** '''[[Dan'a'yo]]''' - Sinosphere
* '''[[Weddish]]'''
** '''[[User:Aquatiki/Neo-Sanskrit]]''' - Hindi Belt (Indo-Aryan languages)
** '''[[Intralingua]]''' - Romance-language world
** '''[[Folksprak]]''' - Germania (Germanic languages)
** '''[[User:Aquatiki/Kintu]]''' - Bantusphere (Bantu languages)
** '''[[User:Aquatiki/Indo-Malaysian]]''' - Maritime Southeast Asia
** '''[[Guosa]]''' - West Africa
** '''[[Interslavic]]''' - Slavisphere
** '''[[Middle Semitic]]''' - Israel+Arab_World
** '''[[User:Aquatiki/MSEAL]]''' - Indochina

** '''[[User:Aquatiki/Zens]]''' - Greater Persia
** '''[[Jalpi]]''' - Pan-Turkey
** '''[[User:Aquatiki/SEDES]]''' - Ethiopian language area
**: Possibly stop here

* One where people learn my naturalistic auxlangs
:* '''[[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.
:: 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.
* [[w:Harry Potter universe|Harry Potter Universe]]
* '''[[Japhethite]]'''
** '''[[Parseltongue]]'''
:: Japhetite is a polysynthetic, triconsonantal, semitic-inspired auxlang.
:: 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.
* [http://poh.conlang.org Oceanic Hebrew]
** '''Proto-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]].
:* '''Proto-Polynesian Hebrew'''
:: Using the previous language as a base, I plan on mashing up Hebrew with [[w:Māori language|Māori]]
* Something like the [[w:Fictional universe of Avatar]]
** '''[[Syrenian]]'''
:: An utterly polysynthetic exolang, completely without nouns.


=== [[w:Harry Potter universe]] ===
* '''[[Parseltongue]]'''

=== [[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 PPH.  The endonym is rōŋo·ŋo Pāru, but NOH is the English name for it.  It's an attempt at a Biblical answer to Toki Pona (which I think is outspokenly Taoist).


Some other ideas I'm kicking around include: Summerian-Chinese, Ge'ez-Korean, Gothic Korean, and Sino-Syriac
=== Romlangs ===
* [[Ckul]] - a truly nuts idea: to make a Na'vi romlang!
* [[Küpria]] - Cypriot romlang that is Greek-er than Greek!
* [[Koǧan]] - out arabic-ize Spanish!


=== A fictional <big>[[w:Water world]]</big> ===
* '''[[Syrenian]]'''
: An utterly polysynthetic exolang, completely without nouns.

I use ''aquatiki'' just about everywhere on the internet.  As far as a conlang presence goes, I started out on Frathwiki.  It is fine, but Linguifex seems much more polished.  Wikia was really limiting.


Should you ever feel a dire need of contacting me, simply leave me a message at my [[User talk:Aqautiki|discussion page]]!
