As I expected, Jonathan’s cursed musiclang is far superior to my own in both cursedness and technical quality. Please check it out!

Guess what! It’s a new conlang!

This is Amnenas, my new musical #conlang — and a submission for the Cursed Conlang Circus! I had a lot of fun with this video but it was also very confusing and (given the deadline) pretty stressful. I just made it in time!

Today's stream will be a bit different. After a vote in my Discord I decided that I'd go over my CCC4 language, Synthlish, process discussion, Q&A, and possibly some live translations. Live in about 30 mins. #conlang #language #linguistics youtube.com/live/QltYH-4...

I received copies of my book, How to Create a Language, and couldn’t be happier! Thank you to the team at Cambridge University Press who made this dream a reality, and thank you to all my beautiful supporters! Especially thank you to @dedalvs.bsky.social for always encouraging me! #conlang

Have you tried evolving them from earlier forms? Look into the evolution of our alphabet from Egyptian hieroglyphics. Lots of conlangers will make a select few glyphs from an ancient logography and develop things from there.

Though the big news is @quothalinguist.bsky.social's new book #TheConlangGuide from @universitypress.cambridge.org is now available, she also created a tremendous resource for designing a #conlang stress system. It’s the #FiatLingua article for 2025 and available for download now! fiatlingua.org

#linguistics / #conlang / #comics Apparently _Dan Dare: Marooned on Mercury_ originally published in Eagle comics in the '50s, featured an alien Mercurian language, which may or may not (probably not) have been an actual worked-out conlang. Anybody know about this?
