This year I have decided to make a conlang following along with Jessie Peterson’s conlang year. Starting with this post, I’ll be documenting my progress with weekly posts on what Ive done each week.
My goal for this project is to build my conlanging skills while making a language Im proud of. Im also trying to be better at sticking to projects
As mentioned above, Im making weekly posts about my progress.
The speakers of this conlang are a group of anthropomorphic bee-like creatures.
They live in a forested region that is part of a larger world Ive been making for a story.
The speakers are very peaceful and take care of the forest and the other creatures living there. They make a lot of honey and dyes. Like most of the creatures in this world, they are capable of using magic.
Their design mostly draws from various anthro bee designs Ive seen online with some more bee like features. Although not entirely realistic I think theyre cute and that’s more important to me.
The speakers are capable of flight. They are around 1-1.5 feet tall. The amount of fluff and stripe patterns both vary between individuals. Many speakers dye the lighter parts of their body, which are usually yellow.
The speakers live in a hilly deciduous forest at the base of a volcanic mountain range (most of the volcanoes are inactive). The forest has many lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and springs. Most of the speakers live around the two large lakes.
The forest is a temperate deciduous forest with a monthly average temperature ranging from 2-18 degrees Celsius. All 4 seasons are experienced in the forest
The forest is mostly made of trees like maples, oaks, lindens, beeches, black cherries, and poplars. There are also blueberries, violets, lilacs, mountain laurels, azaleas, lavenders, hibiscuses, and bee balms. (I spent so long looking up all these plants…)
And thats all for now! Really excited to continue this. See y’all next week!
