Hi, I'm Aquatiki. I tend to obsess over languages 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.


My Universes

Universal Languages

our world, but synthetic languages facilitate international relations

Naturalistic Auxlang

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.

w:Harry Potter universe

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

the Semitic slaves were sold to Babylon ... then India ... then the Philippines ... and eventual migrated to New Zealand.

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

A fictional w:Water world

An utterly polysynthetic exolang, completely without nouns.

Scratchpad

I use aquatiki just about everywhere on the internet.
