A Dictionary of Hoptanglish

* * * All aboard the jaloopy to Hoptanglia! * * *     Along the way you might catch a glimpse of some of the native wildlife, such as the polliwatt, an electric tadpole; the junglefuzz, a wild, woolly sheep tousled to distraction, or the bazoobabushka, an old lady with a rocket launcher.      When you arrive you may be invited to partake in some of the solemn cultural traditions, such as skirplicado, the gentle art of creating ornamental shapes by folding speeding tickets; or landguessing, the pastime of predicting where the ground will be when you've completed your somersault.                         Feel free to meander with me; I post a Hoptanglish Word of the Day every single so often.

Reblog This With a Note If You Conlang

A fellow tumblorg asked if there are any conlang groups on Tumblr. Of course, there are not, because there are no groups period on Tumblr (it doesn’t do groups). But there are conlangers here!

So I had a thought: If you’re a language creator, reblog this post and add the name of a language you’re working on. You can do more than one language; you can add links to your work if applicable. Whatever. This is just to get a nice long list of conlangers on Tumblr. If you’re not a conlanger, feel free to reblog without adding anything, if you have conlangers who follow you.

Starting off: I’ve been creating languages for 17 years, and one language I created is Kamakawi.
