'''Nanyse''' | '''Nanyse''' is my first and only conlang, although the version you find yourself reading is far from its first incarnation. This version will be used in a science-fiction novel I'm working on. The language, and the culture of those who speak it, was created gradually over time as native speakers from different points in Earth's history were kidnapped and forced to work with native speakers from other cultures/languages. I'd call the end result - the current form of the language - a macro-[[w:pidgin|pidgin]], and while in reality it may be, in the story there are nearly 15 million native speakers. | ||
I hope you enjoy watching me struggle with creating this language. Please, don't hesitate to send any questions my way - especially if I've slipped up and forgotten my own rules or spellings. Thank you for your attentions! | |||
