langdev - Language development by @literallybenjam

Flash from the past! Back before I hacked together electronic tools like LexisML, all language development was done with pen and paper. You can check out what some of that looked like in this PDF scan of RedBook, which was crucial to the development of the Jästūgay branch of the depreciated Sevensi languages.

There are other old development tools hanging around the GitHub page, as well, so be sure to browse it if that sort of thing interests you!

Updates!

WHAT'S THAT??!

Language development is expanding! No longer will development be focused solely on 斤丸舌, we'll now be working on MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AT THE SAME TIME!!!1!

That's pretty cool.

Here's what's slated for development:

FIZONAL. That's the (!new!) family-name for 斤丸舌 (FIZENG). It gets a nice family-name because it might have SIBLING LANGUAGES SOON OMG WOW. Of course, normal development will continue as well ;)

SEVENSI. In 2009-2012, I did a bunch of language development, which I depreciated when I started work on 斤丸舌. But I'm bringing it back! Cool new languages with crazy grammars. It'll be exciting.

FLUîNE (name not official). The languages I've done so far have been kinda rigid and moraic and whatnot, which is cool! but also I'd like a super-fluid highly morphological language because those are also fun. So I'm starting a new family to accomodate!

Keep following this blog for more updates and cool facts and things. You can also like us on façbook if you prefer to give your support there, and if you want to get involved, like send me a tweet or do something with GitHub or something.

Looking forward to more cool stuff!
