How many words/concepts do you need to be able to understand and communicate about reality at a deep level?
But if you are working on a conlang, how many words would you need to define that people should memorize to have a rich understanding of the world? If you want to try and break this problem down into smaller pieces that is fine with me. But it seems in my initial attempt at a conlang, you can cover most abstract concepts with about 2,000 words. Then for the common objects on earth (rocks, trees, etc.) or highly specific named entities (star constellations, or atoms/materials for example, or foods or daily objects like kitchen supplies), you can add another 2,000 or so words to the lexicon. I was quite surprised when I listed out every possible tool I could think of, and the list was only about 700 individual words (then you can combine words like "Circular saw" to get more tools). Or for foods, Wikipedia has less than about 1,000 named foods which cover every possible thing you've ever eaten.

List of most important concepts/words for a world?
Hello, I am working on Tune, a conlang, written in Tone, a conscript. For a few years I have been collecting words and concepts in order to get at the basic building blocks of knowledge. I put many words here, but the list is incomplete, unsorted, and with many words which are derivatives of more base words (like "year" and "yearly" might be included in the list).

What is the full breadth of "swear words" in natural cultures or constructed cultures, and how do you go about modeling them in a new world?
What are all possible swear words used in natural languages (and even in conlangs)? Not necessarily what the exact swear word is (as maybe that's too intense of a list lol), but what are the general categories of swear words or topics of things made into swear words in natlangs around the world, or conlangs. I would like to make the Tune conlang support swear words and would like to know generally how far reaching they can becoming (i.e. what categories throughout history and world-building have come about in terms of swear words).

Do any conlangs (or even natlangs) have the notion of multiple levels of compound word separators?
I have a conlang (Tune) I am working on, and am in the process on how I want to handle "compound words". I am inspired by how English uses Greek/Latin/etc. to come up with compound terms (in biology, chemistry, medicine, etc.) and would like to do the same. However, because of the current word structure in Tune, most words are on average 2-4 syllables. Then combining them you would get to really long words, which, as one mentioned, is like scriptio continua and seems hard to read, like saloyowizitxihawinanoyotxa. That is really more like saloyo zitxiha nanoyotxa, or even saloyo zitxiha nano yotxa, since nano means "not".

Are compound words too long in the Tune conlang?
I am working on Tune, a conlang which has the basic concepts as 1 syllable "word bases", and the rest as 2-syllable bases, each starting and ending with a consonant. The rough current guide is here. You convert the base to nouns/verbs/modifiers by adding a/i/o respectively, so that makes the base words 2 or 3 syllables to start!

Handling verbs, nouns, features, and particles in Tune?
I am working on Tune, an analytic/isolating conlang with each thing a separate word. I have only really worked out how I am going to treat nouns and verbs (the central classes of words), and "modifiers" (adjectives and adverbs, noun and verb modifiers). You append -i for verbs, -a for nouns, and-u` for features. You can have chains/phrases (like noun or verb phrases), they precede the head noun/verb and leave off suffixes.

Languages which allow phrasal verbs but which are not separable?
I am thinking that by requiring phrasal verbs to be non-separable, they become more of a unit, and in the conlang I am working on at least, it would be easier to represent those than to handle the separable case. I am thinking will become "formal" verb phrases, which are like distinct standard concepts, as opposed to casual verb phrases, which might involve the same exact verbs but are made up on the spot.

How do you use your conlang?
I am working on a language called Tune for two reasons (still a ways to go):
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tune and tune you can also consider the following projects:
tone - A Cross-Cultural Writing System
ichiran - Linguistic tools for texts in Japanese language
Putnik - non-professional cyrillic display font
sca - Apply sound changes automatically to a set of words.
