Oh yeah, it is interesting.

But memorizing it is difficult.

I have of course finished the alphabet so all I gotta do is lexicon.

The long... arduous task of Lexicon.

I really need like- a list of the 100 most used words in all language.

Also-

Of alternative color schemes.

@Hil: I'm not saying stop all together or anything, just that like anything moderation is key so it doesn't become weird.

@Olive: Yeah, isn't it something like 90% of English speech is comprised of the same 300 words?

@Lunar: CAN I?!

He is not dead, no, but he is not currently with the group.

I'll link you his first appearance, where he is now, and him working on a restaurant with Aven.

Kareena looks fitting in my mental image of her on the disney throne, characters bowing before her, an innocent grin on her face.

@Daisy: I would prefer to explain such things in character.

Yeah, pretty much.

And sometimes its' trying to find the base word, and then there's variations on that one word.

Or like-

How to group similar words for similar ideas together.

I have at least gotten a fair idea for how words are built.

If it's a concept that is above them, it ends with a certain letter-

If it's on an equal plane to them it ends with a different letter-

And of course- if its' something considered below it ends with a different letter.

Like-

Outside-Son: Teht-Jeyt (Outside of a clan is considered to be 'beneath' the family, and a son would be a generation below you.)

Blood-Sister: Louhm-Heym (Blood is something you share- suggesting equality, and a Sister is in the same generation as you so on an equal footing)

Clan-Father: Kaehv-Jeyv. (The clan is above the individual, as is the Father being a generation above)

The lesson to learn here is.

Conlang is frighteningly frustrating and difficult.

I see.

Well, by the sounds of things, constructing a clear grammar would be a good idea, if you haven't done that already.

Is your language heavy on affixation?

What do you mean?

I have a sounds-system for different letters-

As in, when it comes to writing there's a base letter- and the sound it makes is produced by a horizontal line through the top (high sound), middle (middle sound) or bottom (low sound).

So I'm probably going to use that as well in constructing words.

There is a lot of compounding yeah, like in German. But instead of just straight-together, its' use of hyphens.

Conlang plusgood.

Ingsoc Conlang is Newspeak. Newspeak doubleplusgood. Newspeak helps bellyfeel Ingsoc.

@Lunar: well, if you want to, go for it

No particular rush to decide though, you have time to think if you need it.

@Olive: Well what I mean is

A common rule in languages is that words are constructed with a root and affixes. So in the word untranslatable, "translate" is a free root, -able is a derivational suffix and un- is an inflectional prefix. In other languages, affixes contain even more information, such as in verbs, they might indicate the object, the subject, the tense, the location, adverbial, etc.

Compounding is a different process but yeah, German is rather heavy on it.

What did you have in mind when writing the alphabet in terms of how the letters look?

i think it is genuinely a word with application

Bellyfeel and duckspeak comes plus-speedwise.
