'''Hmøøh''' ([[Skellan]]: ''a Hmøøh'' 'world'; [[Naeng]]: ''Sngeaf''; [[Swuntsim]]: ''Ξəp'' /tɬəp/) is an Earth-like planet orbiting a G-type main sequence star, called ''a hond'' in [[Skellan]], and ''fi nieth'' in [[Naeng]], in the Rytsofzyláð Galaxy. | |||
Hmøøh is a collaborative conworld setting originally created by [[User:IlL]]. [[User:Praimhín]] has also contributed greatly. | |||

==Some loose guidelines== | |||
*In general, conlangs and names should avoid words that sound like | |||
**racial etc. slurs | |||
**profanities in common Earth languages | |||
**names of infamously destructive hurricanes (e.g. "Katrina" or "Harvey") | |||
*When creating a Trician character, you can give them multiple interests (like, say, mathematician and composer) but generally you should give them at most one field to be major or famous in, especially if the character is contemporary. | |||
==Star system== | |||
Planet names in Eevo: | |||
*''Łyrxíd'' - terrestrial ([[Tseer]] ''Warsid'') | |||
*''Hmøøh'' - terrestrial | |||
**Satellite: ''Søøm'' | |||
*''Alvor'' - terrestrial (Tseer ''Almor'') | |||
*''Firot'' - super-Earth (Tseer ''Firodh'') | |||
*''Tservih'' - gas giant (Tseer ''Txermikh'') | |||
*''Darwñð'' - gas giant (Tseer ''Darofwwđ'') | |||
*''Çyñvar'' - ice giant (Tseer ''Khimar'') | |||
The largest planet is Tservih and the smallest is Alvor. | |||
(Tseer, via a Qazhric language? Inspired by Akkadian Simānu, Kislimu > Hebrew Sivan, Kislev) | |||
==Planetary characteristics== | ==Planetary characteristics== | ||
1 | 1 Trician solar year = 357.08065278709064 Trician days. These are often grouped into 51 7-day weeks. | ||
1 Trician solar day = 24 Earth hours | |||
A Trician day is divided into 5040 units, each of which is divided into 5040 smaller units. | |||
One Trician lunar month is 30.58122882574347 Trician days long; hence months in the lunar calendar usually have either 30 or 31 days. Twelve lunar months are about 366.97474590892164 days, which ''exceeds'' the solar year by 9.89409312183100 solar days. Hence Trician lunisolar calendars ''remove'' a month, approximately once in every 3 years, to keep the months aligned with the solar year. | |||
Atmosphere and atmospheric pressure: Earth-like | |||
===Continents=== | |||
27% of Hmøøh's surface is land (i.e. not covered by water). | |||
Continents (Areas are ballpark estimates): | |||
*Talma and Txapoalli: Spreads north to south, about 20% of the land | |||
**[[Verse:Hmøøh/Talma|Talma]] (Skellan: ''Talma''): Northern, temperate region | |||
**Txapoalli (Skellan: ''Eta''): Southern, tropical region | |||
*[[Verse:Hmøøh/Bjeheond|Bjeheond]] (Skellan: ''Ogxóoñ''): about 10% of the land, temperate | |||
*[[Verse:Hmøøh/Avaka|Avaka]] (Skellan: ''Avaga''): about 30% of the land, climate varies widely | |||
*[[Verse:Hmøøh/Cualuav|Cualuav]] (Skellan: ''Cualuav''): 30%, climate varies widely | |||
*Arctica: 10% | |||
Other areas: | |||
*[[Verse:Hmøøh/Zoom Islands|Zoom Islands]] (near Txapoalli) | |||
*[[Verse:Hmøøh/Chunda Capeto|Chunda Capeto]] (lots of languages) | |||
TODO: Residual and spread zones within each continent. | |||
===Calendar=== | |||
The following describes the Talman calendar, which is now a global standard across Hmøøh. | |||
Year 0 marks the founding of the Windermere Empire. Negative years are written with a minus sign. | |||
The current Trician year is fT 1392. | |||
===Major oceans and seas=== | |||
===Tectonic plates=== | |||
Major plates: | |||
*one big oceanic plate | |||
*Talman plate | |||
*Etalocian plate | |||
*Bjeheondian plate | |||
*two to three Txapoallian plates | |||
*one Cualuavian plate | |||
*two to four minor oceanic plates | |||
*one Arctican plate | |||
===Time zones=== | |||
===Constellations=== | |||
===Natural resources=== | |||
Fossil fuels are less abundant than on Earth, which has forced Tricians to rely on nuclear energy. [also slowed down tech progress, but Trician civilization also grew more sustainably than Earth civilization] (?) | |||
==Prehistory== | |||
Like Crackfic Hmøøh, Canon Hmøøh itself was a result of a terraforming event where Earth organisms, including early humans, gradually took over a previously uninhabitable planet via a one-way wormhole. All organisms on Hmøøh come from Earth lineages no older than the Miocene. All modern Trician humans are our ''Homo sapiens sapiens''. | |||
The difference between Canon and Crackfic Hmøøh is mainly in when in Trician history later Earth immigration occurs, and what lingua francas are in use in Canon Hmøøh. | |||
==Music== | |||
The Trician musical traditions could be classified roughly as follows. (See individual subpages for more info.) | |||
* Meantone temperament (penta or diatonic; I-vi-ii-V-I important): ??? | |||
* Pythagorean/53edo: Dodellian | |||
* Low-complexity just intonation (overtone or undertone series based, combination product sets and CS's) or quasi ji edos: classical Talman, popular Fyxoom | |||
* Tetrachords and ajnas: Sowáar, Bjeheondian | |||
* Equal division of the fifth: Naquosphere | |||
* Small inharmonic scales (slendro and pelog and quasi 7edo): Onishia | |||
* JI-agnostic small edos: modern experimental | |||
* Primodality: modern experimental | |||
Modern Talmosphere art music is often a mixture of all these elements. | |||
==Languages== | |||
===Major languages=== | |||
Roughly in order of number of speakers: | |||
# [[Mustlup]] | |||
# [[Scellan]] | |||
# [[Dakwəx]] | |||
# Modern [[Naquian]] | |||
# [[Æ]] | |||
# Șinach [[Netagin]] | |||
===Language families=== | |||
* | Some major language families are: | ||
* | *[[Lakovic languages]] (e.g. [[Naeng]]) | ||
*[[Quame languages]] (e.g. [[Scellan]]) | |||
*[[Tsimulh languages]] (e.g. [[Swuntsim]]) | |||
*[[Idavic languages]] (e.g. [[Netagin]]) | |||
=== Language isolates === | |||
* [[Suwáá]] | |||
= | =="Racial" characteristics== | ||
*Etalocians have brown skin, black hair, epicanthal folds, blue eyes (sometimes), and straight hair. | |||
*Txapoallians: various | |||
* | |||
* | |||
== | ==Programming languages== | ||
Programming languages usually have [[Scellan]] keywords and use Polish/prefix notation. Some common languages are: | |||
*High-level language (Java + Python hybrid) | |||
*Functional language | |||
*C analogue | |||
