I think it is starting to look excellent! Although I agree with Zelos on the first two points as rather vital, that is, that you ought to mention stress (if any), as well as the syntax of sentences, the modality could be a later concern. Adpositions and conjunctions (if any) is a matter to consider.
Let's not exaggerate! :P Do tell if you need me to change anything. [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  00:46, 21 July 2013 (CEST)


One matter that could be tended is examples - reading an article with sample sentences is always more interesting, and it conveys important information. Usage is another subject - you have a few cases and a lot of verb inflections - when are they used, can they convey different meanings depending on context? The definitions often differ between languages.
==Cwengâr&Fén Ghír==


This all depends on the panned extent of your language - I for one would have implemented a bit of allophony, though a language does more than fine without it.
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?

What the Wall said, as for stress it can be realised in multitude of ways, volume, vowel change, pitch, etc. :D I like pitch-accent systems [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 15:17, 12 January 2013 (CET)
Okay, I recognized stress, allophony, verb, and inflections. Give me a few days to read about the others on Wikipedia and I'll get back. However, I can talk about allophony right now: since it's not intended to actually be spoken by anyone, I don't see much need to work on it,and, as was pointed out, some languages have managed to make do without it.

¡Hola! ¿Todo bien? Hoy estaba aquí en mi casa con dos amigas mías de la universidad y, mientras hablábamos entre nosotros, hemos inventado una expresión (sueca y después la hemos traducido en varias lenguas que estudiamos) que no tiene - o así creemos - ningún significado, pero se lo hemos dado nosotros:
*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.


''{{purple|Du är (en stor/färsk) nöt}}'' o ''{{purple|Din jävla nöt!}}''
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.


Y con esas expresiones hemos traducido la oración sueca ''{{green|Du är forryckt/galen}}''. Sabemos que se dice así, pero, de todas formas, nos ha gustado inventar y usar esa expresión. Además mi amiga y yo, cuando hicimos el primer curso de sueco (hace 4 años), escuchamos por primera vez la palabra ''{{green|köra}}'' y nos gustó tanto que desde entonces la usamos en cambio de ''{{green|kär}}'', hemos creado sustantivos también: ''{{purple|köra}}'' con plural ''{{purple|köror}}'' para las mujeres y ''{{purple|köre}}'' con plural ''{{purple|körar}}'' para los hombres. Con estas palabras entendimos ''{{green|skatt}}'' :P Cuando uno difunde este uso de la palabra ''{{purple|köra}}'' como nosotros la entendimos y de su derivados, nosotros decimos que él o ella es un o una ''{{purple|köraförande}}'', aunque ''{{green|förande}}'' significa "presidente" y no "usuario"... Ahahahah, sé bien que ahora pareceré tonto, pero, hablando con otra gente que estudia otras lenguas, he descubierto que muchas personas juegan así con las palabras que aprenden e incluso crean nuevas palabras que en la lengua original no tienen (o tienen otro) sentido :) ¿Lo has hecho tú también mientras aprendebas lenguas?

¡Dioses, paciencia, tesoro, paciencia! ¡No he tenido tiempo para responder! Llamar personas ''{{green|nötter}}'' de verdad existe en Suecia, y es un insulto. Quizá hay insultos más ofensivos, solamente digo que no lo digas a desconocidos... ;) Es interesante saber que la palabra ''{{green|nöt}}'' como insulto tiene otro género gramaticamente a ciertas personas. Entonces se puede decir {{red|ditt jävla nöt}}. Es que no sé si es una característica de sueco estándar, o si es regional. De todos maneras, usar el género neutro normalmente es un poquito más ofensivo. Decir "det" en la tercera persona cuando se está hablando de gente, es bastante malo...
Hmm, I haven't experienced anything similar. Have you encountered it more than once? [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  12:40, 24 July 2013 (CEST)

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.

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 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.

I propose to keep "term" as it enhances legibility of contionary markup. It may be sort of redundant but it makes reading through texts a lot easier on the eyes.

I disagree. Cw, for "contionary word", is simply more compressed. I would even suggest a Template:C. And being easy on the eyes is surely not a problem when processing wiki markup.

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


The main reason for using wiki markup is for enhanced legibility and ease of use, thus instead of using <pre><a href="linguifex.com/?title=Contionary:word>word</a></pre> we usually write <pre>[[Contionary:word|word]]</pre>
As long as you can translate the banner and does it, yes [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 11:55, 13 August 2013 (CEST)


Continuing from that, the prefix "cw" isn't instantly recognisable compared to "term" which is but 2 characters longer but adds an instantly transparent meaning.
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. :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  19:40, 17 August 2013 (CEST)

Cheers,


Surely, this could have been compressed into a few words. I stand by my second suggestion - using Template:C. Whilst you are correct in that "term" is very transparent, I do not acknowledge the logic behind using an abbreviation in the main namespace, and a full one in the contionary namespace proper. Besides, the word "term" is typologically unfavourable, having no less than three adjacent letters on a QWERTY keyboard. This almost encourages typographical errors and thus faulty links.

Hum? The logic I tried to explain was that reading/editing contionary entries is simplified (thus making it easier for new editors etc.) as transparency increases; on the other hand, when wanting to say link a word from a language article a short one-character template is more favourable, even more so as it is similar to existing interwiki linking. Thus in the contionary, according to my proposal, we would find “term” inline which makes contextual sense for the source code of a dictionary entry while “c”/“cw” (for "Contionary/Contionary word")in an article in the main namespace, where it makes contextual sense. Am I making any sense? It's why I argue for there being duple templates.

I personally have not encountered any issues when writing the word term or any similar word such as where/were (three adjacent letters) and am thus sceptical of it being an encouraging factor of typographical errors.

== Guess who ==
::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.

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
After conlanging on and off for a while, I decided to revisit! :P


A lot has changed! The main page looks awesome, I presume that was you who made it. I saw no change in the comlang, I think we might prefer to start over again and make a new comlang from what we have here. I'll work on my conlang some, but will probably need some help with it though.


Any I updates I need?

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 [[User:Dē Graut Bʉr|Dē Graut Bʉr]] ([[User talk: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 ''Téeyimbaa'''tsi''''' 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''; (''uyáhahamb'''ay''''', ''yáahamb'''ay'''ak'').

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.

El 28 de augusto me voy y me quedo allá hasta el final de noviembre. Ya visité Estocolmo en 2009, esta va a ser mi segunda vez en Suecia :)
Lo siento que yo no vaya a estar cerca de tu ciudad, me gustaría muchísimo conocerte en persona :)
Ahora voy, estos días estoy preparando mis maletas y lo que me sirve para viajar a Suecia y quedarme allá durante tres meses :) Espero que me vaya a gustar como hace cinco años.
Un beso

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)

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)

Yo también he trabajado como profesor privado (de las matemáticas)! Ya no has visitado Suecia? Qué pena! Cuál Folkhögskola has eligido? :O

Y como siempre, todo bien, visité España hace una semana! ^^ Waahlis.png Waahlis 14:43, 23 June 2014 (CEST)

¡Hola! La verdad ya no esperaba tu respuesta :P ¡Jajajaja! No te preocupes, te entiendo bien. ¡Felicidades! ¿Conoces bien las matemáticas también? ¡Qué bueno! :) Las cosas han mudado: he trabajado estos últimos tres meses como profesor privado de italiano CON salario :P Me han eligido para irme a Suecia, pero la Folkhögskola ha sido eligida por el Svenska Institutet: Vindeln. El 28 de augusto me voy y me quedo allá hasta el final de noviembre. Ya visité Estocolmo en 2009, esta va a ser mi segunda vez en Suecia :) Lo siento que yo no vaya a estar cerca de tu ciudad, me gustaría muchísimo conocerte en persona :) Ahora voy, estos días estoy preparando mis maletas y lo que me sirve para viajar a Suecia y quedarme allá durante tres meses :) Espero que me vaya a gustar como hace cinco años.

Delete Conlang page please?

Hi Wåhlis! I was wondering if you could please delete my conlang pages:

User:Mcmisher96/Unnamed

and

User:Mcmisher96/Khavar

They are no longer desired.


Of course! One moment! Waahlis.png Waahlis 14:26, 23 June 2014 (CEST)

Hey again! Could you delete all my Czecklish documents and categories please? I want to start over again, because I've completely overhauled my conlang, with a new name, new phonology, and new morphology. Thanks!

Fixing this up

Linguifex:Policy

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)

Dump
