Baloon
Introduction
Name
This conlang's endonym is Balu, or Halan Balu, meaning the language of Baloon. The English exonym Baloon derives from Baluan, due to a misunderstanding in speech.
Goals
My goals are to create a largely complete conlang that I like and enjoy working on, and maybe to do some projects with it. This conlang is not entirely meant to be naturalistic(i.e. able to occur naturally).
Setting
I do not currently have a conworld. This conlang was created by Arccosecant on August 15th, 2025. This language has grammar and lexicon derived from many different languages.
Phonology
Baloon has a total of 32 phonemes—26 consonants and 6 vowels. Baloon does not have phonemic stress, pitch, or intonation.
