=='''AntiSpamHQ'''==
And since this appears to be the Anti-Spambot Combat HQ I thought I'd update you guys with some details regarding our new captcha system. It's practically infinitely extensible as it consists of asking people to answer a simple question when they register. If one question is cracked, we can add new ones. I'm also looking into some tools that let you limit the allowed usernames on site (I'd guess eliminating numbers from usernames would result in a lot less spambots) while being only a mild, if any, inconvenience to any real user.

:I suspect we're being targeted by spambots with manual regs, i.e. they outsource questions/captchas to people that speak English,who for a pittance of cash answer them, and then bots go apeshit with spamming. Sigh. At least I think we're past the auto-reg bots. As can be seen from the registration times this has slowed down a tad.

==Language de qualité==
 
Y-at-il un projet pour faire revivre le "langage de qualité"? Ou quelque chose comme un "défi à traduire"? Je suis passé par CALS et j'ai traduit près que tous leur challenge, mais ça commence à me faire ennuyer.
 
De plus, pourriez-vous regardez et faire critique de Fén Ghír comme vous avez fait avec Umbrean?

Ah, I'm worried my meaning might have gotten lost in the translation; I meant to say "I don't know how I could be offended by it"; judging by how you looked over Zelos' page, your criticism seems concise and constructive so honesty is an asset. I posted the request after doing some major page repairs and I have a couple other fixes in mind so I'm not overly attached to any terminology or the lay out particularly. Judging by the above and a mention in the forums, I suspect you're going to suggest adding a Liepzig gloss? I've looked over the manual again earlier and will be free to add one to the example phases soon.
 
Thanks for adding my translation to the mainpage,

== Little favor ==
 
Hi Waahlis, could you do me a little favor and have a look at [[User:Dē Graut Bʉr/Prufzytī|this page]]? My knowledge of linguistics is rather poor, so I'm not sure how those forms are called in English. [[User:Dē Graut Bʉr|Dē Graut Bʉr]] ([[User talk:Dē Graut Bʉr|talk]]) 11:32, 11 May 2013 (CEST)
 
 
Of course, doing favours is why I'm here!
 
Let's see, you're Dutch, right? What would you call them in your native language? I'll see if I can translate first:
* Bassform: ''Dē jaggter '''sgit''' dē konin.'' - The hunter shoots the rabbit. - '''Present tense'''
* Trʉgtytform: ''Dē jaggter '''sgiti''' dē konin.'' - The hunter shot the rabbit. '''Past tense''' (or '''preterite/imperfect''')
* Giyntnē form: ''Dē jaggter heppt dē konin '''gisgit'''. ''- The hunter has shot the rabbit. - '''Perfect tense''' (or '''present retrospective''')
* Byform: ''Dē jaggter will dē konin '''sgitē'''.'' (''"Dē jaggter will '''sgit''' dē konin" iss aug a kunnighyt'') - The hunter will shoot the rabbit. - '''Future tense'''
* Nuig zeggform: Dē '''sgitnē''' jaggter iss inn dē boss.'' - The shooting hunter is in the woods/bushes. - '''Present participle'''
* Trʉgig zeggform: ''Dē '''gisgitnē''' konin iss dot.'' - The shot rabbit is dead. - '''Past participle'''
 
That should be about right. If I translated correctly.
 
Sincerely, [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  14:27, 11 May 2013 (CEST)
 
You got it all right except the (somewhat illogical) byform, that sentence means "The hunter wants to shoot the rabbit", though "The hunter will shoot the rabbit" could also take a byform. It can also be used in some clauses, but in most cases it can be replaced by a sentence with a slightly different word order and a bassform. [[User:Dē Graut Bʉr|Dē Graut Bʉr]] ([[User talk:Dē Graut Bʉr|talk]]) 14:50, 11 May 2013 (CEST)
 
I just figured it followed a common Germanic trait using "will" to form the future tense! (In Swedish, we'd use the same construction as above, so it was 50/50 chance). Okay, something like a optative mood in the present with a modal verb then! I am not sure if I have helped you, or if this was a test though! :P [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  16:16, 11 May 2013 (CEST)

I am not sure on the byform. It is an uncommon construction, or maybe I am complicating things. Could I have another example? [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  19:40, 16 May 2013 (CEST)

== Contionary Help ==
 
Thank you for pointing out those corrections! (and even more for pointing to which contionary entry I should be modeling after!) Most of how I've been building up the format and lay out for my language on this site (and previous sites) has been by looking at other entries and emulating them, so I was a little lost as to what I needed for a Contionary Entry.
 
Question: I'm patterning my language on a mixture/slurring of several older languages, but as I've never had the chance to document the etymology before now, I didn't record it - do you think that my language will suffer because of this? I could possibly find which language the words came from, but it would take a lot of work and effort, and I'd much rather spend that energy moving forward. It's not all of my language, but the pronouns, the colors, then numbers and some other vocabulary... Would it be wrong to list the origins of those words as "lost"? [[User:Zomborgs|Zomborgs]] ([[User talk:Zomborgs|talk]]) 22:08, 14 May 2013 (CEST)
 
 
No, no, I think not. If you really can't remember the etymologies (and can't make up some new ones!), just list them as "Unknown." Happens all the time.
Looks good, so keep it up! :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  19:13, 16 May 2013 (CEST)

== Detangle ==
 
I had an idea to assist conlangers of various languages.
 
Alot of common words such as "must" "can" "of" etc carries alot of meaning that people have problems with seperating if they aren't aware of it. We could create like an dentanglement section where common words in english (and any language really) have their meanings dentangled so people can see all the meanings seperately [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 06:38, 19 May 2013 (CEST)

Alot of common words in most languages contain alot of meanings in them, must can both refer to an inferens aswelll as a demand, can refers to both possibility and ones ability, for example, a page where you show these meanings could help conlangers [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 05:40, 22 May 2013 (CEST)
 
If I may, this sounds like a really good idea. As someone with relatively minimal knowledge of linguistics, I've relied a lot on my knowledge of other Western European Languages to see how much meaning is packed into a word and how you can mess with it which can be hard to imagine, especially if you are a Monoglot.
 
An example of this that might be good, is that Wiktionary gives the definition of From as;
 
*With the source or provenance of or at. (I got a letter from my brother)
*With the origin, starting point or initial reference of or at. (Face away from the wall)
* With the separation, exclusion or differentiation of. (He knows right from wrong)
 
Which someone might not think of separating in a different language, because they're used to it all being in a single unit in what they speak. This isn't the best example but it's one of a few words that have different meanings that I associate.
 
Sorry for eavesdropping.

Oh, eavesdropping is just good for the community. There are no secrets here!
 
Eeeeehm, well, I know far more pressing concerns, and I am not sure I see the point of having such a "detanglement" centred here on the site... Whilst I do not wish to take part myself, please go ahead if you find it necessary!
 
I do however find it most suitable for you, Zelos, and Fauxlosophe to take initiative and realise this "detanglement"!

:I concur with Waahlis. I'm not so sure this might be the optimal place to fill up with semantics studies. I remember vaguely from the CONLANG mailing list that someone was compiling a major archive about differing semantic overlap in different languages. Perhaps, instead of reinventing the wheel, one large, proper, article could be created giving a summary overview of differences in semantics between languages and linking to further sources?  --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 00:03, 26 May 2013 (CEST)

I think this covers the basics of it;
 
Fén Ghír (Is there a way I could get my conscript in this?) is spoken primarily amongst the Fén people on the North-Western Fén Ír penisula as well as various islands and smaller northern settlements on the continent known as Dínír amongst the Fén, and refered to as "Borealis" in a more culturally neutral English on the Conworld of "Sphaera".  It is one of four major surviving members of the Galavic family, and the only politically independant one. It is also distantly related to Toryl, So'raan and Zewani. Fén primarily relies on two scripts, the first, Highlands Fén or Célán is a system similar to runic or Ogham which evolved from a tallymark sytem, the other Lowland Writing which is a more recent innovation derived from the Toryl system that lies somewhere between an abjad and alphabet.
 
Fén Ghír is an a priori constructed language by the user Fauxlosophe on the Linguifex Wiki for the conworld Sphaera. It shows heavy Irish Gaelic influence in orthography and phonology, as well as in Grammar. Grammar and Syllable structure have also been heavily influenced by Japanese. English and French are also present as lesser influences.
 
 
Should be possible. Do you want me to use the script on your page? I'll add the blurb in advance. [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  23:39, 31 May 2013 (CEST)
 
== Featured language ==
 
Shouldn't it be 'featured language of Linguifex for June'? I'm thinking that May is already past us :P

Of May for June! Of course, my logic must've played me joke. [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  20:11, 3 June 2013 (CEST)
 
== Aesthetics ==
 
I appreciate the sweet collapse button on the verb list, but it is one of my immediate goals to move the bigarse list from the site to a spreadsheet. :) Ye can use those fancy collapse buttons on my other tables though. :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 00:14, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
Oops, sorry! I thought you wanted a collapse on it, since there was one to start with, my bad! The code for it is <nowiki>mw-collapsible mw-collapsed</nowiki> so you can remove or add it as you want! You leaving us? :( [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  11:07, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
No no, you've got it wrong! I asked for on the forums to move the content box(the list of all the in-page links near the top) so it would be right beneath the title of the page, and my intro text about the language near the top of the page would be between the content box and the progress box. Then I checked to find the box on the completely opposite side of my page modified. I'm just moving the vocabulary to spreadsheets, all the other stuff will be here, and I'll also link the vocabulary to my page, probably from google docs or something. :) I'm not going anywhere, just getting more organized. --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 15:58, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
Also, can I make the expand button move into the left most box in the table and not the right most? --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 16:06, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
Well, I do not think it is possible to get the intro inbetween the Contents list and the Progress box. However, if you create a heading for the intro, it will automatically go beneath both the contents and the progress box. ''However'', this is contrary to our manual of style, as we prefer to have an introduction on the top of the page (Like wikipedia). Although I suppose we could make an exception...
 
Are you referring to the expand button when boxes are collapsible? You want it to go on the left instead?

Alright well, dropping the thing about the contents box, yeah I was wondering if the expand but could be in the left most cell of of the table, because many times there's nothing in that cell and always is there something in the top right cell. :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 18:31, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
Ah, I saw your problem - no, that'd need a site-wide code change. However, I have a solution. I shall change it, and then you tell me if you like it! :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  18:44, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
I had to leave for a bit, but I'm back! I see what ye've done and I'll keep that in mind; I might change it a bit more. Thanks! --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 23:17, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
 
== Causative ==
 
Causative isn't an aspect my friend, it is a voice if anything. [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 07:13, 26 June 2013 (CEST)
 
Traditionally no, you're right. However, it acts virtually identically to the rest of the aspects in Ris, so I placed it there yet anyway! :P [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  14:28, 26 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
In my verb spreadsheet, I made a column called "staticity" (temporary title) where I list each of the verbs as either stative, dynamic, or causative. It does sound kinda like a voice though. Wow, spell check doesn't say kinda is not a word! --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 14:42, 26 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
I maybe wouldn't group those together...! But there are lots of languages that do things differently! Oly, you wanted some help with your vowel table? [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  15:04, 26 June 2013 (CEST)
 
True, I can never decide if I want to keep this column or maybe just put "causative" or "stative" in the notes column on the side. I'll put a link to the verb spreadsheet when I'm finished with it so the world can enjoy. With the table of vowels I decided to combine the obnoxiously large table of rhotic vowels, but there is one vowel that I don't know wherein it fits, so it would be nice if one of ye could help me with that. :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 22:12, 26 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
Done! It was an open-mid central vowel! :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  11:53, 27 June 2013 (CEST)
 
Tack så mycket! I wish I could speak Swedish. :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 17:17, 27 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
"Tack så mycket" is quite enough! ^^ It's not an overly useful language. (Other than the array of vowels, though. ) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  18:25, 27 June 2013 (CEST)
 
It doesn't make much sense calling it an aspect, aspect deals with TIME, not how the verb came to be. [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 21:12, 29 June 2013 (CEST)
§
 
Languages rarely do make sense. :P The Ris causative conjugates according to the different moods and voices of the language; thus morphologically similar to the aspects. That said, I'm not completely done with the verbal system, and nevertheless, I wouldn't call it an aspect when I'm done.

== Expand ==
Yo, my verb conjugation table is supposed to have an expand button, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a place where I can learn this wiki code to fix all of this schtuff? ---
 
 
Forgot to sign, Oly! ^^
Well, there are lots of places to learn wikicode; a quick search gives loads of results! However, it is difficult to filter everything to that which you actually need to learn. I recommend you to look at other pages with the code you are looking for, and then copy it to your own page.
 
Concerning the verb table, you correctly inserted the "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed", but it is important that you put it in the <nowiki>'class="..." '</nowiki> part, right after "bluetable lightbluebg". :) Look at the pages me and the other administrators have made, and try to figure out what to do from that! Or just ask, after all, that's why we're here.

Oops, I swear I signed, my viking linguist friend! Actually, I was referring to a different table than the one ye fixed, haha, but I'll do just as ye said to fix the conjugation table. Ironically, I found next to nothing searching for wikicode, except the documentation which who knows where to start. I shall take a look though at what the pros do, thanks! --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 19:11, 30 June 2013 (CEST)
 
 
No worries, we all forget!
 
Oh, I am certainly no linguist! ^^ I suppose I am a viking though...! Oh, my bad - at least now you know how to fix it. :P Hmm, nor did I, really. But then I knew less than you when I began a few years ago, but I imitated, copied, asked for help and copied again. That's how I learnt, and it worked well. Others have gone programming courses... Unfair...  [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  10:50, 1 July 2013 (CEST)

I love the new front page, its awesome! Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 08:11, 14 July 2013 (CEST)

I agree! It looks simpler and cleaner. Keep up the good work! Newrhotic (talk) 01:29, 15 July 2013 (CEST)


Thanks, both of you! Any criticism? I have no problems to improve it continuously! Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 15:53, 15 July 2013 (CEST)
