Language samples

There was a hiatus between conlanging periods.

Early conlangs

Conworld 1

Conworld 2

New conlangs

For some of this conlangs I wrote up samples for a thread in the Facebook group "Constructed languages", in which I'm also a member of the administration team. The task was proposed as a small game: "From all your conlangs, pick one word to represent the language and describe it!".

Conworld of Yrḳuti

All the languages of Yrḳuti are a priori naturalistic artlangs.


The language known as I Kronurum (IK) is a part of the Northern Languages linguistic family, which populates the northern region of the central continent.
Notwithstanding the several subgroups that have split from this branch at different stages, this Central Branch of the family has been studied as a continuity in which four main stages can be identified: Ancient IK (AIK), Old IK (OIK), Middle IK (MIK; together with Early-MIK, EMIK) and Modern IK (MoIK; together with Early-MoIK, EMoIK).
The developmental stage presented in this article is that of Middle IK (MIK). At this stage, a group of OIK speakers has already moved westwards from the AIK speaker's cultural Urheimat, which was located in the plains in the northern region of the central continent. MIK is thus the main variety spoken in the region nearby and at the shores of the northern sea.
The endonym of this region is Ifarka, which is translated as "The Land". It is divided in several administrative provinces or marks, called Igódánafáreþ, which hold periodical meetings regarding whichever matters would affect the generality of the Hold.
