Äh

The <ä> gives me a serious Estonian feel. Although, I wanna see a word with <ë>, 'cause it tends to Albanise or Afrikaanise [sic] languages for me.   Waahlis 20:23, 18 August 2013 (CEST)

Success! :D and I have complied. :) --  Chrysophylax 22:03, 18 August 2013 (CEST)

I think I might have inadvertently made this semi-Estonian inspired conlang somewhat related to my Hungarian orthography-inspired conlang Elasian. They both seem to indicate polarity in the verbs by -lja- and they have similar pronominal markers… cf. tá, ká, ná [tah, kah, nah](to me, to you, to him) with the possessive -itä, -ikä, -inä suffixes. Art mimics life it seems... lol --  Chrysophylax 22:08, 18 August 2013 (CEST)

I use "me(n)" for negation in all my languages, so it's okay. Blame a 4000 year old Sprachbundt. :P   Waahlis 22:12, 18 August 2013 (CEST)

Guess who just discovered that Elasian and Välyatalle both use a close front vowel [e i] + n for the plural marker. cf. Elasian -en, Välyatalle -in. Sickans Sprachbund! --  Chrysophylax 01:09, 21 August 2013 (CEST)

Is it Bad?

Is it bad that I imagine that the Valians as a quiet, disinterested and contented people since they, presumably, live out their lives in Valium? --Fauxlosophe (talk) 04:36, 1 September 2013 (CEST)

Now you've gone and made them angry, just listen to them "Laheksed saa Vihtor kui ruuseemme…laheksed… laheksed" ;-) --  Chrysophylax 05:06, 1 September 2013 (CEST)

Melekaa, Palgakaa tu. Taevalyaten; Tausaikä ruusiestina, Aegastin magaanestinu koerin. [Come and Get Me. I won't make this holy; May your houses burn down, May your friends devour needles.] --Fauxlosophe (talk) 05:43, 1 September 2013 (CEST)

What now? When did I join the equation? :S   Waahlis 10:29, 1 September 2013 (CEST)

The friends of the hypothetically angry Valians factor in rather than you, since I was using 2nd person plural. Unless Chrys is secretly a hivemind, in which case you might want to check your cornflakes for sewing kits.--Fauxlosophe (talk) 01:17, 2 September 2013 (CEST)
