  • How do you use your conlang?
    2 projects | /r/conlangs | 14 Oct 2022
    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?
    1 project | /r/linguistics | 11 Jun 2022
    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?
    2 projects | /r/worldbuilding | 26 May 2022
    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?
    1 project | /r/Heilung | 23 May 2022
    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?
    2 projects | /r/conlangs | 7 Jan 2022
    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
    3 projects | /r/languagelearning | 5 Jul 2021
    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
    1 project | /r/neography | 19 Mar 2021
    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
    1 project | dev.to | 19 Mar 2021
    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.
