Laceyiam is an a priori language I (''[[User:Lili21|lili21]]'') started creating - in this current version - in January 2016, but actually it is the latest version of the conlang for my main conculture. I started sketching conlangs back when I was 9 or 10 but only started interesting myself into linguistics seven years later - in 2014 - and since then I started doing more "serious" conlangs (the earlier ones were more like relexes of my native language, Italian). Ideally, Laceyiam is the refined version of all of these languages, but except for a few recurring words (like ''maila'' (water) or ''hulyn'' (woman)) it is only comparable to those languages I have been creating since July 2015 - in fact, the nearest previous version, which I began in October 2015, was already called Laceyiam. | Laceyiam is an a priori language I (''[[User:Lili21|lili21]]'') started creating - in this current version - in January 2016, but actually it is the latest version of the conlang for my main conculture.

Anyway, while being a priori, there are definitely many noticeable influences from natlangs.

''Sanskrit, Lithuanian,'' and ''Icelandic'' are the most obvious ones, and also ''Danish, PIE'' (and, more as a consequence of all of these, also ''Latin'' and ''Ancient Greek''), ''Old Tupi'', and ''Japanese'' all had a moderate influence. However, I tried to do something that while having much in common with all of these languages, is also strikingly different (the Austronesian morphosyntactic alignment, morphological expression of evidentiality and more broadly the particular emphasis on moods probably being the most noticeable things). Moreover, I tried to create a language very different from Italian while keeping many - not so apparent - similarities. | ||
Laceyiam is mainly thought for my conworld, but more than any other conlang of mine it is quite on the border between an art- and a heartlang. | |||
