@gmsh yeah, i couldn't engage with it at all...

conlang (yobo wugu dan) 

My handwriting is bad, but I wanted to share this phrase from my conlang.

heres a dooble from this morning prompted by me saying "i keep surprising people, i should wear a bell" and several folks replying "hey... that sounds cute as fuck"

Good morning, sweetlings and sourlings!

... Which are you?

re: conlangs (++) 

@Felthry because I could figure out how to do ogoneks on my keyboard, but not underlines.
I could also change it to "low tone is represented with no diacritics at all", but we'll see

(Also this language is spoken on a fictional world with no connection to our own, and so the real writing system for the language is nothing like this - the romanisation is just for me to be able to write it down)

re: conlangs (++) 

jō ɓǫ is a combination of the words for river and moon - the language's speakers live alongside a large river and have a sacred connection to the moon, resulting in them calling themselves jō ɓǫ ōŋwe ("river moon people")

wúgų is the verb meaning "to speak", and dān is the nominalizer (that is, it makes the verb into a noun) - so together it means "speech" or "language"

conlangs (++) 

I've finally come up with a name for the conlang I've been working on:

jō ɓǫ wúgų dān

(Or "Yobo wugu dan", for how I'd expect English speakers to end up pronouncing it)

the diacritics represent tones - a line above means a high tone, an ogonek below means a low tone, and the upwards-rising diacritic represents a rising (low to high) tone
All other sounds are as per the IPA, so j is the sound at the start of the word "yellow", and ɓ is the bilabial implosive (sound not in English)
