Aquatiki Be clear. Be convenient. Be poetic. Pick one.

Hi, I'm Aquatiki. I tend to obsess over language for a long time and be years in development. In grad school, I studied Semitics (Hebrew and related languages), and I got into conlanging as a fun way to be sure I understood what I was learning.

Fake Worlds and Their Fake Languages

I'm almost exclusively interested in "mash-langs", i.e. combining existing language. My main worlds are:

• One where people learn my naturalistic auxlangs
  • 東亜語

Esperanto for the w:East Asian cultural sphere, languages who have Chinese in their background.

• Weddish

Weddish is an auxlang, with an overly extensive history. Old Frisian became influenced by Old Welsh, was conquered by Hebrew, and once again returned to the Welsh.

• Harry Potter Universe
  • Parseltongue

Dr. Francis Nolan was commission by the HP movie makers to create a phonology and a few sentences, which he was very gracious to share with me. I expanded upon them greatly, bringing in further Estonian influences, and adding Dravidian and Bantu ideas.

• Oceanic Hebrew
  • Proto-Austronesian Hebrew

Primarily using Ugaritic, I have reconstructed a best-guess of what Hebrew sounded like in 1000 B.C. and imagined what would happen if they were hauled off to the Philippines and interacted with something like Proto-Austronesian or Tagalog.

• Proto-Polynesian Hebrew

Using the previous language as a base, I plan on mashing up Hebrew with Māori

• Something like the w:Fictional universe of Avatar
  • Syrenian

An utterly polysynthetic exolang, completely without nouns.

Some other ideas I'm kicking around include: Summerian-Chinese, Ge'ez-Korean, Gothic Korean, and Sino-Syriac

Profile

Location

I use aquatiki just about everywhere on the internet. As far as a conlang presence goes, I started out on Frathwiki. It is fine, but Linguifex seems much more polished. Wikia was really limiting.

Should you ever feel a dire need of contacting me, simply leave me a message at my discussion page!
