I always liked the blue-ish button theme. They are quite awesome.  
Thanks, both of you! Any criticism? I have no problems to improve it continuously! Sincerely, [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  15:53, 15 July 2013 (CEST)


On another note, I like the idea embodied in your draft for a new logo, although I can't say I really approve of the Castellar font. It feels a tad out of place. I appreciate the Latinate origin of the word and the connection with the font family of Roman style letters but I don't know. Castellar and Trajan don't feel particularly welcoming to me. Perhaps something more modern but still classy?  Adobe Caslon Pro is quite similar to Castellar in its capital shapes and conveys class without straying into dusty old books territory… hmm
Agreed! The new front page is freaking awesome! You're awesome! --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 23:00, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

Oh dear! Couldn't find a bigger one could you?
The pages for these two languages on my computer do not have a side or top bar and cut off before the end [specifically at "vowels" and "ba" respectively], other language pages seem to be working fine. Could you look into this for me?


I actually suspected you wouldn't, I suppose that's obvious from your personality. I am not sure about the current one though... My aesthetic senses itch when I see it...
-Cheers, [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 00:53, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

Oh! Qué decisión más difícil. Tertia versio tua oculos meos delectat. Tranquilitassecuritasque incarnat, inquit Chrysophylax. Placetne tibi ista "Castellar"? Fortasse tibi placebit altera versio cum capitalibus? Si Caslon tibi displicet alteram scripturam invenire possumus.
I should have gotten a screen grab but it seems to have resolved itself. If you're interested, just incase this is a recurring error;

*The main page itself was the only thing visible; the side bar [Mainpage, Announcements, Recent Changes... Toolbox, Other], tabs [Mainpage, Discussion, Read, Edit... Go, Search] and top bar [My Talk, My Preferences, My Watchlist... etc] were simply blank; there was no visible text or anything where they should have been.


: So I temporarily switched the site logo to the th ird one you suggested to see how it felt with the site layout. I think it looks ''lagom snyggt''. Vad tycks? - [[User:Chrysophylax|Chrysophylax]] ([[User_talk:Chrysophylax|talky talk]]) 23:02, 8 November 2012 (CET)
*The end of the page also cut off; nothing after certain sections were accessible and the browser treated it as if the page ended there in the middle of the article, not allowing me to scroll further down; thus the Category section was not accessible.  


Me alegra que si.Non mihi placet valde multum, malo tertia versio, et non credo alteram versionem cum capitalibus mihi placeam. Ignosce linguae meae...
*Attempting to link to the areas cut off from the navigation box or using ctrl+f to find a word would give no response [or no result in the case of ctrl+f], though the navigation box would link me directly to the parts of the article as it would normally on other pages.

Hasn't happened to me before on any other forums so I suspect it may have been an error with Linguifex, possibly due to my trying to access these pages through history or favourites? Either way, it is resolved now.

Oooh, that's a very archaic Greek. I'll avoid writing it then. Colours.... Well, not exactly to recommend in a logo... And yes of course!

:Well, the only Greek I've ever taken is Ancient Greek (which I'm in the process of commencing to learn. My grasp of it is proto-proto-proto-existent.) I must admit, I'm not a very successful Roman aristocrat, what with my limited command of the ''noblest of tongues''. Thus, I propose to temporarily abandon the old sermones for some English! As we've seem to have done already.
== A Priori ==
:''Hehehehe''. True, colours tend to look a bit nasty in logos. I think the logo looks quite nice with the recently changed skin though. What do you think? Also, I've started fixing up Dhannuá here, seeing as its one of the most developed languages I have on paper (technically Word/PDF documents scattered over my harddrives) but yes, irrelevant rambling aside, it's good to see some ''corpus'' developing. Your Attian has me most intrigued!
:On another note, have you heard anything from anyone on the Wikkii-wiki? Nothing against your company (it's most enjoyable! :D) but it sure does feel a little empty. That, and I'd be elated if more people actually started using this, because if there's one thing I like almost as much as conlanging itself, it's reading about well-thought out conlangs! /sad phylax.

The only Greek I have extensively studied is Modern. Other, archaic forms were sort of included... At least it is better than my Latin, which I can only read properly. Excellent, you've switched to Vector as well? Or have you somehow standardised it, because if you have, my preferences tell the sote to override any other skin... And you know I like Dhannuá! It is very aesthetic, and very faithful to its Indo-European heritage! Why thank you!
I want to create a completely new language to use while I work on my Germanic conlang. I want it to be totally unrelated to any living languages but still go with the old European Nominative-Accusative fusional deal. The thing is, I want to make it so it seems to flow easily and look good/beautiful when written. Do ye have any ideas for this and maybe any notable alphabets or ideas to create a constructed script? --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 01:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Well, we conjecture that the hurricane Sandy is to blame for the down-time, as it seems to have coincided fairly well with the date Wikkii went down. I don't really have the contact info on anyone on wikkii except the admins, and MOB has been alerted where this wiki is. :D He'll probably come join us!
And I'm not just talking about visually flowing, but I mean it could just roll off the tongue like a delicious smoothy of sorts :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 01:41, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Let's just say I prefer the framsida before the baksida... ;P Will you have more time to edit today? [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 07:46, 10 November 2012 (CET)
Try a hawaiian esque free vowel no dipthong system, but replace all stops with a lot of taps, trills, nasals, and approximants like you see in Indian languages. Add tone to give it a songlike quality.
:Ah, I see! And yes, vector is the new standard until someone overrides it. Thanks for the praise. ^^. And ah, sadness. And, I might later, much later today. I have to attend certain events tonight… but bis bald! - [[User:Chrysophylax|Chrysophylax]] ([[User_talk:Chrysophylax|talky talk]]) 17:36, 10 November 2012 (CET)
As for the writing system, look at the alphabets of southern india, they were written on palm leaves which would rip if the script was too rough. Also make all your sounds voiced, voiceless sounds interrupt the hum of speech.
Of course, I'm defining flow as sounds which do not interrupt the hum of voiced speech. You might not actually know what what you want when you think of something so subjective as how a language "rools of the tongue", in which case, you are the only one who can decide.

How are you importing stuff? Google cache? '''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 19:04, 10 November 2012 (CET)


Actually, I don't think code's possible to import by Google cache... :/ I just used wikia for the documentation templates. For Nāmic as well (which made it slightly unupdated). We could give it a try at the caches though. [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 19:17, 10 November 2012 (CET)
Hey, thanks for the great insight! I'll definitely check out the Hawaiian speech and southern Indian script. I hadn't thought of the voicing and I don't really know what tone is but I'll definitely look into it, and yeah that is quite subjective I s'pose :p Thanks! --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 09:58, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


No, the source code is messed up but it's still better than nothing. I don't think anything significant will have been lost but anything that is is still annoying. '''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 19:40, 10 November 2012 (CET)


I suppose. I'm sure the site will get back to its usual self eventually, but I do find this site better, more reliable. --[[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 19:56, 10 November 2012 (CET)
Greatbuddha makes a few great points. My personal trick for this is to try to imitate an orthography of a language that I really like, be it a conlang or natlang, and make a completely different grammar. Think of it as a car, you paint it, add a few features, but under the bonnet, no one grasps its complexity!


I read through some comments online and people that have contacted Wikkii have had no response - but I hope you're right. I don't know how he would know but Rostov said the data aren't lost. '''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 20:07, 10 November 2012 (CET)
I'd say you should do this: Take a shorter text and then semi-translate it into a few different sketchlangs, all of them with different orthographies and phonologies, then see which one you like the best, or mix them up! Hope it helps at all, [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   21:36, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


I did that as well, on Facebook. I am fairly sure they wouldn't just shut down it all. Well, he wouldn't. There's a strong indication though, that loosing the data when the server collapses seems to be rather uncommon. Granted that the server comes back online, that is...

Hola, chicote, ¿cómo andas? No nos sentimos desde hace tiempo. Te escribo para dejarte un recado: dentro de dos días me marcho a Alemania para hacer un curso avanzado de alemán, vuelvo el 31 de augusto, entonces no creo que nos vamos a hablar hasta aquel día :(
He aprobado el test de sueco con 86/100 puntos y ahora tengo uficialmente un nivel B1 de lengua sueca, ¡todavía no lo creo!

Let's see... from ''Bhōzōiōm'' from *bʰeh₂, then ''peri'' from *peri... Why voice*h₁és(e)t(i) to ''izd''? Also, I suppose the "she" and "they" are feminine demonstratives?

:In the Continental varieties intervocalic s gets voiced, thus *h₁és(e)ti -> *ízeti -> ízəd -> izd. This is somewhat sporadic because there is some analogical levelling present. Lannarīzānd is actually miswritten I see now. For starters it should be -ānd and not -zānd. Then the stem is off too, '''*lnk-ya-''' (0-grade derivative of PIE **lenk-) should have developed into ''lannia-'' (at least in this dialect). The PIE sigmatic aorist -> imperfective past is here affixed. (s > z) (I appear to have added the Insular version -rī- for some weird reason.)
== Next Relay ==
:{|
|lannia-z-ānd||
|-
|twist-{{sc|ipfv.pst-3pl}}
|-
|}
:change/twist/distort are the defs. of the verb ''lanniad''. Thus while literally "they have twisted for themselves" I translated it as changed. And regarding sa/sei: the pronoun system in Dhannuá is quite "broken". The s- forms appear to have taken over, so while the plural sei appears to be from **seh₂i it is not. (the feminine plural is ''sai''). It's instead poor *toi becoming likened to *seh₂i and thus giving sei. Just in case you wonder about the dative in -d; the Dhannuán dative is technically a mischung of the IE ablative  with its -d, inherited from thematic -ōt, and the true dative in -ōy.
I'll fix the weird glossing. I had forgot that demonstrative pronouns were called for, it seems. It's obvious that's what should be there. xD ANyhow, regarding Lannazānd, I wouldn't have caught it had you not pointed it out. Doing things purely in the head is quite uhh, brain-hurting after a while.

I just appreciate the semantic shift from "conjoin" to "twist"... :P And 'tis completely understandable with a dative derived from an ablative. The cases are a bit different to those of Attian - ''agentive'', ''patientive'', ''instrumental'' and ''locative''. It is sometimes difficult to handle so few and odd cases - I miss the old school Indo-European ones... :( [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  21:53, 15 November 2012 (CET)

::I was thinking of Dhannuá, since both draw on celtic elements. Generally though, it's the fact that you've already done a translation of The Wildman and the King, which I felt got the flavour of what I was going for, means you have some experience rooting through what I feel is a rather difficult conlang and one which might be even more difficult for someone going into it blind with a language that has a vocabuluary better suited for a futuristic or contemporary setting, in the same way that I tend to have trouble translating really contemporary elements. But I'm definitely okay with whatever, so Skājamāl suits me if that's what has your interest at the moment.

:''It has three noun classes: concrete animate, concrete inanimate and abstract. All nouns are plural by default and the singular is marked by adding a suffix to the end of the noun”''

== Apologies/Third Relay ==


Excellent, it attracted attention. No need to be so overly formal. I'm fully aware of the content, extent and significance of the policy, as I wrote it myself. The reason I put the indeed erroneous message at the top of the article was to attract a fellow user's attention, as well as the policy lacking coverage. The article of [[Hano]] seems to be experiencing some sort of technical error, and the complete content is displaced to the left.
Hey,


As you merely contested my application of G:1 on the page, I presume you did not notice? [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  21:15, 12 December 2012 (CET)
Sorry for delaying everything around here! I got blindsided by a lot of stuff over the holidays and fell behind, I've been playing a frantic game of catchup since. I should have hte first leg up soon and will vote promptly.


Apologies,


''Weird.'' I am not seeing any content displacement to the left. The only thing that is left-shifted as far as I can see is the Language-info bar, which appears to be a common error/minor nuisance when dealing with content imported from wikkii using that specific format. I apologise if my tone came off as cold. At times, I may express myself in ways which may be seen as very formal by some, something for which I have no way of dealing with presently. It just happens. Then again, I presume there is a measurable amount of compensation when I indulge in smiley usage and/or "LOLZ". On another point, have you been studying guerilla marketing or something? ;-). So yeah, I did not notice any severe content displacement. I am currently using Version 23.0.1271.95 of Google Chrome on Windows 7. As this is a WebKit-based renderer, it is possible that the displacement issue is not present in my browser. What are you using?

TOEFL? XD Ironically, yes! Even though interest for languages other than English is cool at best, a fair amount seem to be conlanging. It probably has to do with Swedish artistic freedom. :/ Especially since Swedes' knowledge of grammar is close to non-existent. Education in grammar was almost completely forsaken during the 70-ies and 80-ies, and most people don't know what a subject is, nor what linguistics is... :/
Hi! Sorry, I've been pretty absent lately! I'll leave a response on your talk page, instead! :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   18:59, 28 March 2014 (CET)


Also, welcome to''' Waahlis' Swedish lesson I''' - please be seated and I will tell you a few things a bout the definite article in Swedish!
== sj ==
*Swedish has 2 independent definite articles, one neuter and one uter (common) - ''det'' and ''den''. The definite articles more or less correspond to that of Italian, Spanish and English.
*However, there is more to it - as you probably know, there are two enclitic articles as well, ''-et'' and ''-en'', both conveying the same meaning.
Most often, it is rather accepted to use both articles simultaneously, or simply using the enclitic one. However! - Using just the independent definite articles is not advisable in most contexts, especially when the object of a verb, such as ''erhålla'' (tip: Whilst the word is really nice, it is rather formal, using ''få'' works just as well in that context). Thus there are three possible constructions in terms of species (definiteness) in Swedish:
*''Jag ser en man'' - "I see a man"
*''Jag ser mannen'' - "I see the man"
*''Jag ser den mannen'' - "I see the/that man"
*''Jag ser man'' - does {{red|not}} mean "I see a man".
*''Jag ser den man'' - does {{red|not}} mean "I see the man". (Unless you're Danish...)
This means your sentence should be:
*''"för att erhålla attesten <s>där</s>!"''
When to use just the independent article is rather difficult, and most often belongs to more educated speech. It is easier to learn when not to use it! ;)
Alternatively, if you want to say "I want to get '''that''' cerificate" you may say:
*''"för att erhålla den där attesten!"''
In addition, I noticed your comment on Chrysophylax' Dhannuá? ''På svenska ser saker intressanta ut, inte ut intressanta!'' ;) Phrasal verbs, gotta love 'em...!

Oh, my Gods! You have been really³ helpful and gentle with me! I've read it all :) I didn't know that one could say ''{{green|jag ser den mannen}}'', I knew only ''{{green|jag ser mannen}}'' and ''{{green|jag ser denna mann}}'' (quite formal, true?). I wanted to say "that certificate" and I've written ''{{green|den attest där}}'' ahahaha! Once again I've thought a bit "germanly": ''{{green|den där attesten}}'' > ''{{green|den attest där}}'', with a semantical element at the end! So I have seen that I have to use both articles when I want to say "this" or "that": '''{{green|jag slår de där pojkarna}}''' or '''{{green|jag älskar den här flickan}}''', right? In the case of '''{{green|någon/t ser så ut}}''' I understand now that my error could be a case of hypercorrectism: German syntax is the same ('''{{green|jemand/etwas sieht so aus}}'''), so I have unconsciously thought to vary this order!!!
Thank you very much for your help, I can analyze my mistakes, comprehend and avoid them :)

I would recommend a post-alveolar or possibly alveolo-palatal voiceless fricative, mainly because it's a common realisation in many dialects. It is not at all the accurate pronunciation, and not phonetically very close, however. Phonetically, try maybe, a voiceless labio-velar approximant or a very labialised voiceless velar fricative.

You know, I just realised that you meant ''{{red|den där}}'' as a demonstrative after writing the wall of text...! -_- After which I felt a bit silly writing it all... And yes ''{{red|denna man}}'' is rather formal, if you're sensitive to that... :P However, Swedish and Norwegian are rather odd in that they like the ''double definiteness''. It is thus also possible (which also is far less formal) to say ''{{red|denna mannen}}'' in most contexts! And yes, both of those sentence are absolutely correct! Although I would probably use the word ''{{red|certifikat}}'' rather than ''{{red|attest}}''!


I'm glad I could help - I don't get the chance very often... :P And it's nice to have someone to discuss these things with! You've been very tolerant with my ranting and do have a sense of humour!

Hi! I  was busy doing some work on Czecklish, and I just added the '''Template:Infobox''' and the '''Template:Classmeter''' to my main page [[Czecklish]]. I would like to know how to put the '''Template:Classmeter''' underneath the '''Template:Infobox'''. The two of them next to each other is unsightly, and distracting.

Front page

I love the new front page, its awesome! Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 08:11, 14 July 2013 (CEST)

I agree! It looks simpler and cleaner. Keep up the good work! Newrhotic (talk) 01:29, 15 July 2013 (CEST)


Thanks, both of you! Any criticism? I have no problems to improve it continuously! Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 15:53, 15 July 2013 (CEST)

Agreed! The new front page is freaking awesome! You're awesome! --Admin.png Chrysophylax 23:00, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

Let's not exaggerate! :P Do tell if you need me to change anything. Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:46, 21 July 2013 (CEST)

Cwengâr&Fén Ghír

The pages for these two languages on my computer do not have a side or top bar and cut off before the end [specifically at "vowels" and "ba" respectively], other language pages seem to be working fine. Could you look into this for me?

-Cheers, Fauxlosophe (talk) 00:53, 18 July 2013 (CEST)


Of course, I'll look into it. However, I don't quite grasp the problem? Waahlis.png Waahlis 16:20, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

I should have gotten a screen grab but it seems to have resolved itself. If you're interested, just incase this is a recurring error;

  • The main page itself was the only thing visible; the side bar [Mainpage, Announcements, Recent Changes... Toolbox, Other], tabs [Mainpage, Discussion, Read, Edit... Go, Search] and top bar [My Talk, My Preferences, My Watchlist... etc] were simply blank; there was no visible text or anything where they should have been.
  • The end of the page also cut off; nothing after certain sections were accessible and the browser treated it as if the page ended there in the middle of the article, not allowing me to scroll further down; thus the Category section was not accessible.
  • Attempting to link to the areas cut off from the navigation box or using ctrl+f to find a word would give no response [or no result in the case of ctrl+f], though the navigation box would link me directly to the parts of the article as it would normally on other pages.

Hasn't happened to me before on any other forums so I suspect it may have been an error with Linguifex, possibly due to my trying to access these pages through history or favourites? Either way, it is resolved now.

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2013 (CEST)


Hmm, I haven't experienced anything similar. Have you encountered it more than once? Waahlis.png Waahlis 12:40, 24 July 2013 (CEST)

A Priori

I want to create a completely new language to use while I work on my Germanic conlang. I want it to be totally unrelated to any living languages but still go with the old European Nominative-Accusative fusional deal. The thing is, I want to make it so it seems to flow easily and look good/beautiful when written. Do ye have any ideas for this and maybe any notable alphabets or ideas to create a constructed script? --OlySlayer (talk) 01:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

And I'm not just talking about visually flowing, but I mean it could just roll off the tongue like a delicious smoothy of sorts :) --OlySlayer (talk) 01:41, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Try a hawaiian esque free vowel no dipthong system, but replace all stops with a lot of taps, trills, nasals, and approximants like you see in Indian languages. Add tone to give it a songlike quality. As for the writing system, look at the alphabets of southern india, they were written on palm leaves which would rip if the script was too rough. Also make all your sounds voiced, voiceless sounds interrupt the hum of speech. Of course, I'm defining flow as sounds which do not interrupt the hum of voiced speech. You might not actually know what what you want when you think of something so subjective as how a language "rools of the tongue", in which case, you are the only one who can decide.

Greatbuddha (talk) 08:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Hey, thanks for the great insight! I'll definitely check out the Hawaiian speech and southern Indian script. I hadn't thought of the voicing and I don't really know what tone is but I'll definitely look into it, and yeah that is quite subjective I s'pose :p Thanks! --OlySlayer (talk) 09:58, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Greatbuddha makes a few great points. My personal trick for this is to try to imitate an orthography of a language that I really like, be it a conlang or natlang, and make a completely different grammar. Think of it as a car, you paint it, add a few features, but under the bonnet, no one grasps its complexity!

I'd say you should do this: Take a shorter text and then semi-translate it into a few different sketchlangs, all of them with different orthographies and phonologies, then see which one you like the best, or mix them up! Hope it helps at all, Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:36, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Sounds like a plan! In my conworld it's supposed to be a sort of language of the angels so that's what I'm looking for. :) --OlySlayer (talk) 00:47, 27 July 2013 (CEST)

Voting

Can I nominate a language to be featured which I feel to be sufficiently complete but without the featured banner translated yet? Ílchőfti Lēmáthīd (talk) 05:16, 13 August 2013 (CEST)

As long as you can translate the banner and does it, yes Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 11:55, 13 August 2013 (CEST)

That wouldn't be necessary. A nomination doesn't really need the translation banner. But it won't pass the voting round without the banner. :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:40, 17 August 2013 (CEST)

First Linguifex Relay

Tag, you're it! You can find the torch here! Have fun. :)

Relaytorch.svg This user is currently the torch bearer for First Linguifex Relay/Harākti and was handed it on 18:30, 6 September 2013 (CEST) by Ashucky. The torch will automagically pass on to the next relay member in 48 hours.


Arena

I can't create new threads here. Should we get the ball rolling on this? -Fauxlosophe (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2013 (CEST)


Sorry, that's from when I thought it was supposed to be a relay forum! I shall change it right away! By the way, I won't be very active here for about a week; I am currently writing the Second Linguifex Relay, and reconstructing a proto-language of mine! ^^ Waahlis.png Waahlis 23:15, 16 September 2013 (CEST)

Then as tempting as it may be, I won't usurp you with my own already finished text until after but I do have a few good ideas for other things we could do in the meantime. I'll put them up soon-Fauxlosophe (talk) 06:56, 17 September 2013 (CEST)

Let's decide that's the third one then! And please, go ahead! Message all the people you want there or ask Chrys to make cross-wiki announcement! I shall try to participate, myself. Waahlis.png Waahlis 07:45, 17 September 2013 (CEST)

I put up a few threads, the proverb one was specifically with you in mind. I've got a few proverbs in Fén that I'm happy with but you've got some catered perfectly for your language. Check out the rest as well!-Fauxlosophe (talk) 23:35, 25 September 2013 (CEST)

The Comlang

Are we going to finish it? Or do you want to start a new one? (Or not do a comlang at all?)

I don't really care, I was just look forward to all the linguistic experience probably it'd give me.

Why was Alska reverted to how it was before? I'm going through and updating/remaking the language. Just wondering Darthme (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2013 (CET)


Oh, my dear bloody God! What have I done!? I'm so sorry, I'm on my tablet when browsing the site nowadays, I must've mistakenly reverted your edits! Have you fixed it, or shall I do it in the morning?

Pardon me, most sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:37, 1 December 2013 (CET)


No it's fine, I reverted it again. For a moment I freaked out but the I remembered there was a changelog for each page, so I just set it back to how I had it. It's all good, so no worries. :) Darthme (talk) 11:18, 1 December 2013 (CET)

I'm ever so sorry! :P It shan't happen again! Waahlis.png Waahlis 11:21, 1 December 2013 (CET)

Next Relay

I have the text ready for the next relay as of ages ago. Chrys has volunteered to be the first victim as his conlang shares a few similarities to mine and will make the transition a little easier. As soon as you're ready to start collecting volunteers, I'm able to assemble a gloss.

Also when are we doing the next featured language?

Slán,

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 07:08, 13 December 2013 (CET)

On behalf of Waahlis (and indeed, all Swedes), I apologise for the tardy response. December 13 is Lucia day in Sweden where we celebrate the memory of light, warmth and sacrifice in the midst of seemingly everlasting darkness and cold with sweet saffron-buns and cookies. Furthermore, I am would like to inquire about which language specifically you have in mind? None of my languages are as analytic as yours :P And, I have a new pet project, at User:Chrysophylax/Skājamāl, which I'd love to use in the next relay if that's fine. It's YAIEL (Yet Another Indo-European Conlang) like Dhannuá so it shouldn't be too far removed grammatically in general terms, if you want to know what to expect. --Admin.png Χρυσοφύλαξ 07:26, 14 December 2013 (CET)
I just assumed that I put in fair late for you guys and it might take 24ish hours to get a reply, so no worries for lateness. Happy Lucia, by the way.
I was thinking of Dhannuá, since both draw on celtic elements. Generally though, it's the fact that you've already done a translation of The Wildman and the King, which I felt got the flavour of what I was going for, means you have some experience rooting through what I feel is a rather difficult conlang and one which might be even more difficult for someone going into it blind with a language that has a vocabuluary better suited for a futuristic or contemporary setting, in the same way that I tend to have trouble translating really contemporary elements. But I'm definitely okay with whatever, so Skājamāl suits me if that's what has your interest at the moment.
-Fauxlosophe (talk) 18:53, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Certainly, I can initiate the sign-ups right now! However, bear in mind that the draught will take about one week, and then there's one week for the relay itself; we are after all approaching the Christmastide, and as such the activity will reach new lows. :P


The featured language nominations on the other hand, I'm willing to initiate on the spot!

Sincerely, and Happy Lucia,Waahlis.png Waahlis 12:47, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Apologies/Third Relay

Hey,

Sorry for delaying everything around here! I got blindsided by a lot of stuff over the holidays and fell behind, I've been playing a frantic game of catchup since. I should have hte first leg up soon and will vote promptly.

Apologies,

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 03:45, 19 January 2014 (CET)

Oh no worries! I myself ought to apologise, I have been fairly busy as well! I'm just glad it's started. :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:32, 21 January 2014 (CET)

On the template

Hey Waahlis, I just got a message on my talk page reminding me of something that came up a few months ago. I was wondering if the language template could be changed to allow V2 as an option rather than only SVO or OSV. --OlySlayer (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2014 (CET)


Hi! I apologise, I have been away for a while! No matter, I have adjusted the template, and it now allows for the following extra word orders:


| V2=Verb-second
| VF=Verb-final
| SV=Subject-verb
| VS=Verb-subject
| OV= Object-verb
| VO=Verb-object
| SO=Subject-object
| OS=Object-subject
| Free=Free
| Non-configurational=Non-configurational

Hope it helps! Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:41, 21 January 2014 (CET)

Ah, yes, an SVG! We attempted to install support for them, but it backfired somewhat! No worries, I'll just delete it - I saw you updated a PNG equivalent. :) It can't affect the wiki as a whole, but I'm glad you left a message! Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:35, 30 January 2014 (CET)
OK. It was a major undertaking to get it working on my own personal wiki. Getting the latest version of PHP, ImageMagick, and dependencies is a real pain. I recommend people try http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-png if they need PNG's made. --Aquatiki (talk) 20:50, 31 January 2014 (CET)

Missing words

So, now I've finally managed to make sense of most of your text, but it seems these words/affixes are missing in the wordlist:

  • Unaccented ti-
  • Wuwúa-
  • Shakíne
  • -tsi
  • ay-

I hope I will be able to make sense of the whole text if you give me the translations of those words as well :P Dē Graut Bʉr (talk) 19:05, 23 February 2014 (CET)



Sorry, most of these are clashes of draughts!

  • Unaccented ti- = 2.SG.POSS, also as tí--
  • Wuwúa- = 1PL.HE-
  • Shakíne = with that which is swift ~ quickly-
  • -tsi = CON, conative, "attempting to do something". The -tsi in Téeyimbaatsi is supposed to be an imperfective, though.
  • ay- = there is no inherent meaning as a prefix, but it does signify the subjunctive in words after ku; (uyáhahambay, yáahambayak).

I'm glad it wasn't any worse than this! ^^ Do tell if there's anything else! Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:11, 23 February 2014 (CET)

Ok, thanks. But if there is no prefix ay-, what's then going on with aytsurin? Dē Graut Bʉr (talk) 13:36, 25 February 2014 (CET)

sj

What would be the best realisation for the Swedish "sj-sound" for a foreigner to adopt? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 14:04, 25 March 2014 (CET)


I would recommend a post-alveolar or possibly alveolo-palatal voiceless fricative, mainly because it's a common realisation in many dialects. It is not at all the accurate pronunciation, and not phonetically very close, however. Phonetically, try maybe, a voiceless labio-velar approximant or a very labialised voiceless velar fricative.

I agree! I tried to remain a bit objective! ^^ Well, the true "sj"-sound doesn't have an agreed upon transcription. For me, a (rather) close approximation before rounded vowels is [ɸˠʷ], whilst [x̞ʷ] kind of works in other contexts. Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:54, 30 March 2014 (CEST)

Domine, this page reads like a shoddy wikipedia expy. Maybe we should clean it up? As you've declared yourself policy taskmaster I won't edit unless you give me the OK. --Admin.png Χρυσοφύλαξ 21:38, 6 July 2014 (CEST)

Table Troubles

Hi! I was busy doing some work on Czecklish, and I just added the Template:Infobox and the Template:Classmeter to my main page Czecklish. I would like to know how to put the Template:Classmeter underneath the Template:Infobox. The two of them next to each other is unsightly, and distracting.

Dir auch frohe Weihnachten

Hallöchen, ganz erfrischend zu sehen, dass du zurück bist :-) Vielleicht könntest du betrachten darüber nachdenken, dich zu registrieren, wenn du Zeit hast, im vierten Linguifex Relay teilzunehmen? Ich habe noch eine weitere Sprache auszuprobieren und zur Schau zu stellen, darum habe ich mir erlaubt, vorzeitig darauf vorzubereiten... IlL (talk) 04:10, 24 December 2014 (CET)


Oh dear God, that was a pain translating! Thank you! Why yes, I might just join; I'm going to guess you haven't started yet. I have an annoying tendency to suddenly disappear nowadays, but I'll try to fight myself and participate!

Sincerely, and as we say in Sweden, God Fortsättning! Waahlis.png Waahlis 23:19, 26 December 2014 (CET)

Ah, tut mir leid, dass "that was a pain translating!" (Ich sehe, dass ich da das falsche Verb verwendete!) Ich hoffe, dass sich mein Deutsch inzwischen verbessert hat, wenn auch nur ein wenig. Nun endet bei mir dieses Semester... ich verspreche, dass ich in diesem Monat einen akzeptablen Quelltext fürs Relay verfasse. IlL (talk) 05:50, 2 May 2015 (CEST)
