Welcome to Gaia! ::

xD

You randomly shout woeds at people with sounds that correspond to your conlang in order to see what sounds good for curses and other shouting material.

(Yes... xD)

I carry a notebook everywhere. I need a better vocabulary indexing method though (the"write everything in a notebook" method is nto working well).

... You insist on translating all of the works in your English textbook into your conlnag
...THEN you insist on beinging it to class and using it insted of your English vertion

(English Lit. class is never the same afterwards).

... when every game, movie, tv show, website, book, and person inspires a new aspect of a new conlang, and you then spend a half hour daydreaming about how the grammar would work instead of interacting with said inspirational source.




Even this thread is making me think of new ideas. So many ideas, so little concentrating power. surprised

...When someone makes an 'In Soviet Russia' joke, and you follow up with one about your OVS conlang.

...When you start using words from your conlang in English so often that other people start using one or more of those words.

Never happened to me. razz I still need to catch up to you guys.

.....when you translate people's signatures on gaia into your conlang(s).

Køruki ēhujie frasohile!
Køruki ēhujie, frasohi-le
Huijlema: kuči lema tolë

(This is Homurakitsune's signature in Kuma by the way.)

.... when your head is full of more half-assed concept languages than there are real languages in the known world.

.... when you consider yourself bilingual, multilingual, or a polyglot, because you can speak one or more conlangs (with no more than 100 world-wide speakers each per conlang).

.... when you're tempted to tie down (figuratively) relatives and friends and other loved ones and force-teach them your favorite conlang so at least SOMEBODY knows what the hell you're talking about. twisted

.... when you've made or learned so many conlangs that you begin to lose touch with natlangs, including your native language. (This are happens to self all-time?)




I'd say my conlangs progress at approximately the same rate as the expansion of the universe.

No one knows exactly how fast it happens, and we're not even sure if/when it does happen. But it does eventually happen. mrgreen

The majority of my conlang doesn't even really exist. And it has basically no lexicon. Its just a bunch of ideas living in my brain. As time goes by, one idea eats some of the others and gets big a fat, then it exits my brain and incorporates itself into the language.

You can see all that I have here. Phonologically its complete, though I've yet to record it all on the site yet. Besides that, the ideas in my brain are still debating on which one gets to come out.
