How do you use your conlang?
Also I think it would be interesting to also be able to speak it, so trying to make it easy for people from various languages to pronounce, though I chose to include most consonants so that might be a challenge for some. It also uses the Tone writing system.

What are the differences between these language sounds and IPA orthographies?
I am working on refining a fantasy language script, which is like a simplified down IPA for a game world. I have made room for the distinction between aspiration vs. h, or palatalization vs. y, etc., (or labialization vs. w), but TBH I can't see when you would ever treat them differently. So I'm not entirely sure this distinction is necessary to have. Why is it absolutely necessary?

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 language are the Heilung Norupo lyrics written in?
Everyone says this is a NOrwegian RUne POem, but the syntax seems to be Icelandic or Old English here, as Norwegian doesn't have ð or Þ or many of the other symbols. Is there a runic version of the lyrics, or something which is more exact in the pronunciations? I would like to build a parser to convert the lyrics to Tone Text but I can't figure out what the correct representation of the sounds should be, how they should be ideally written.

Do any conlangs (or even natlangs) have the notion of multiple levels of compound word separators?
Do any natural languages have a sort of dual or more-than-one-level-of-nesting approach to compound word formation like this? I am also going to be using a conscript Tone, which will make using both the hyphen and colon feel more "natural" and "baked-in" I guess. Or if none do, what are your initial thoughts/impressions of such a dual disambiguating system. Any suggestions? Be gentle please.

10,000 Generated Words Across Language Features
Tone script is a cross-language writing system, and call-script is its romanization. The goal is to be able to read and write any language using the same system. Tone script is not as detailed as IPA, but just detailed enough to capture 99% of the cases of cross-language sounds so it is concise and simple. It is not a perfect writing system for dyslexia, as there are no perfect writing systems for dyslexia, and its symmetry may be difficult in some situations.

Hanákana: A Cross-Cultural Writing System
Spent many months boiling down the International Phonetic Alphabet IPA into something that looked nice and accounted for 99% of sounds across the Earth's languages. Ended up with Hanákana, a writing system for conlangs, or for just having one way of writing words in any language to learn languages.

Hanákana: A Cross-Cultural Writing and Pronunciation System
If you learn this set of 30 or so symbols (70 or so with sound tones and slight sound variants), you can read and write in any language. It also serves as a translation framework for any app. It comes as a JavaScript library installable through NPM, to transform an ASCII representation of Hanákana into the native font.

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.

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!
What are some alternatives?
