thinking about getting into conlanging

Follow

i have not been working more on Ifadätels due to not needing more details about it yet, but i did do some world-building on a different setting on thursday and then yesterday and today i've been doing different conlanging for that world :3

currently working on the as-yet unnamed proto-language that most of the contemporary languages of the monitor-lizard-people of the western grasslands and forests are descended from. (planned for later: four child languages of it, an unrelated language, and three vulgar-latin-style dialects of one of the child languages in regions where the other child languages and the unrelated language were the main local languages)

the proto-language has a tripartite noun-class system whose classes are i am tentatively calling "warm", "cold", "immaterial". as is common, some nouns make those names seem totally ridiculous. for example, tooth (ekańaš2, pronounced [ekæŋæʃ˧]) is immaterial

@alyssa Now I kind of wonder about a language system that uses manual page sections for their word classes.

@aschmitz programming language with word-class agreement requirements
