I'm also hosting #DetailedSFFIntros for a reason, and the idea is to pick a few participants whose stories sound interesting to me and follow all their posts about their stories.
And I still have a bunch of #ConlangNovember posts I promised to reply to. (6/7)

Here is a comparison of the standard Quyy'lie sentence 'I want to be your friend' with how the three main characters of my story would say it.
Qi grew up with standard Quyy'lie, but they moved to the western countryside seven years ago, and have (1/3)

If you ever find yourself standing before a member of the Astral Order, I would strongly advise you not to call them a nèyexütue.
For the longest time, the word nèyexütue was an acceptable word for spirit manipulators, but nowadays it is seen as highly offensive. (1/3)

This is by far my fav part of conlanging! I have a couple, but I really need to make more--
One commonly-used phrase in Quyy'lie is:
Yanatul, iuen. 'Like the yana flower, [we] ascend.'

Gonna try to finish this even though I'm late😭
Here are some silly onomatopoeic words in Quyy'lie!
zhiin 'buzz, sound of flying bugs'
cut cut 'tweet tweet, sound of small birds'
takèmi 'to knock, to pound lightly'
tukèmi 'to knock, to pound heavily'
During the #ConlangNovember (which i'm planing to finish in my free time) I briefly mentioned dialect
Well, i've decided to dedicate a separate post to the differences!
Maybe i'll add onto that in future as well!

#ConlangNovember 30: I had a lot of fun doing this, and I'm glad others did to! Thanks to all of you who participated!
I started this with the intention to reply to all your amazing contributions, and that IS still the plan, however long it takes.
And I really learnt a lot doing this. (1/22)

#TheDragonblood: The word for 'to say' in Nemorian is 'sepeti'. Here's the conjugation table. (1/3)
#ConlangNovember 30: My main takeaway from these has been that I should work more on the jargon end of FS's registers. Other than that, thanks @miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.social for making these, been a fun month
We've had a full month of conlanging, but now it's time to wrap it up. Do you have any closing thoughts? Things you learned doing this? Shoutouts? Feedback, or areas for improvement? This was my first time hosting a prompt game like this, and I don't know if I ever will again, but if I do, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

I have the first part of the passage translated into #phori and will probably add more in responses as I finish more since I am currently traveling. : P
#linguistics #conlanging
#ConlangNovember 28:
The Ullalk word for 'say' has two etymologies, two forms. /an.los/, used for pst, pres, and fut and /lo/ for the verbal noun and /lo.ən/ the pst participle.
#ConlangNovember 29: Today's been busy enough and recording the whole thing'd take a good chunk of an hour probably, so gonna take the free day
This month is coming to a close, and we've come to our final challenge: translate 'The North Wind and the Sun' into your language. You can translate as much or as little as you want. A few words, one sentence, the whole thing. Whatever you're up for. Or if you'd rather, take this as a free day to talk about whatever you want related to your conlang!
The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him; and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak. And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.

I settled on a title for my sci-fi story, and decided to get organised and start using hashtags for my stories.
Besides that, I've been doing a bunch of writing prompt stuff here, including hosting #ConlangNovember. I was busy the first half of the month, and hoped I'd finally have time now. (2/3)
#ConlangNovember 22:
Like many other languages, Old Quyy'lie has borrowed a lot of words related to religion from Illic, an ancient, mostly written language from Ila, such as:
nèyaqü 'god' < nyáki 'god'
nèyaxütuesa 'prophet' < nyágitiwesáá 'prophet'
nèyariba 'God's Voice' < nyáribá 'God's Voice'
#ConlangNovember 28: "to say" (plus pronoun-incorporated forms) drive.google.com/file/d/1IVQ2...
#ConlangNovember 28:
Interestingly, the verb for 'to say' in #phori sounds like the one in Japanese, but is spelled different.
Llū [jʊ̄] is the main verb, and it has many "normal" derivations, such as Llus, "tongue (organ)", and Pe᷈lluy, "goldentongue"...
We've come to our last weekly prompt! This week's prompt is 'say'. It's your choice how to interpret this prompt. You could give the translation, use it in a sentence in your conlang, or just take it as a starting point for inspiration for something conlang-related to discuss.

#TheDragonblood: Aimetor has several turns of phrase that they use as a Dragonblood to avoid being seen as presumptuous or deceitful. This includes the greeting of "I ask for your trust" instead of "I'm trustworthy". (1/2)
#ConlangNovember 26
#TheDragonblood: I need to develop this more. But Nemoria does keep historical accounts of events both past and future. In Nemoria, history is not specific to the past, and recorded future events are still referred to as history. Future history, if there's a need to specify.
#ConlangNovember 25: In Nemoria, speaking to the gods in any language but their own without their explicit permission, or referring to them by any pronouns but those dedicated to them is a big taboo. Speaking in the gods' language profanely is also generally seen as blasphemous. (1/3)
#ConlangNovember 24
#TheDragonblood: I've discussed several previously for Nemorian. The tense system was influenced by the presence of time travel, the pronouns were influenced by their concept of gender, and the common greeting was influenced by the ability to tell when someone is lying. (1/2)
#ConlangNovember 23
#TheDragonblood: I haven't really been creating my own onomatopoeias for my languages. That's probably one of the things I should be adding more of. But there are some words inherited from PIE that likely were onomatopoeic in origin. (1/2)
#ConlangNovember 27: Unlike most of her fellow pickpockets, Nia still can't bring herself to swear in either tongue. Her father did, usually taking Selini's name in vain, but Nia's earliest memories of her mother are of her chiding him for it. (2/2)
#ConlangNovember 27: Nia was raised thinking of Bira and Nivoréan as separate languages. Today, she mostly speaks the Bir Accian street patois and has given up on her Nivoréan. When she's running a con, pretending to be from Nivor, she only speaks in Bira. Her Nivoréan accent is terrible. (1/2)
#ConlangNovember 27: Sever, the main protagonist of the works from which #phori and #aurem originate, could be considered the first user of the "modern" dialect. That said, he still tends to be stiff with his diction at times, only switching to slang and vulgarities around his half-brother...
#ConlangNovember 27: not part of a story so N/A
Today, we're talking about particular speakers' idiolects. Choose one or more particular speakers of your language to discuss. How do THEY speak it? For starters, which dialect do they speak, and which registers do they tend to use? Do they have a particular way of speaking that's unique to them? Expressions that they like to use, phonemes that they realise a bit differently or words that they pronounce in a nonstandard way? This question is mostly aimed at conlangs which are for a story and which are spoken by some major characters from that story. If that doesn't apply to you, you may need to sit this one out, but if you have an idea of something even remotely related to talk about, go ahead!
