One of your posts mentions that you construct languages. If so, how many languages have you constructed and what are they like in terms of phonology, grammar, potential writing systems, and degrees of construction?
Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
there's not a way for me to know how many languages i've constructed since i've loved making up words since i was a kid, (and ciphers and fonts are one of my special interests!) but i suppose "officially" i've made two! the first one is a bit old and unorganized but it's called Startale and is the language of the gods and magic in my fantasy novel/world (the world is called Aevolin)
it's very rudimentary and grammar and writing systems follow english pretty closely because i just. made it up as i went along basically and i didn't know what i was doing
this is pretty much the only thing that is in any kind of organized manner on Startale but it's just the alphabet + magic wheel
i do have lore on some of the other languages in Aevolin but they aren't real conlangs, just like. background information.
now onto the much better one ! this language is called Ukliir and is the universally spoken language of my alien race, the ukli.
i still don't think i make languages/conlang the way most people do (i don't even know the international phonetic alphabet) but... whatever , i'm having fun! i have a lot more information on Ukliir and it's a lot more structured and organized than Startale was.
Ukliir is written downwards and is very sharp and flat since originally it was written in the sand of the beaches on Niko (the planet) and then onto a long-leafed plant which served as rudimentary paper.
There are a few more misc. rules to the language you might be interested in - verbs always end with -i, so the word for teeth is rach and the word for bite is rachi (and the word rach makes you bare your teeth/is similar to a snarl)
the ukli have four fingers on each hand, so they use a base 8 counting system (that i'm still struggling to wrap my head around - math is my worst subject) and every number ends in -o.
ukli are genderless, so every pronoun like he/she/they/him/hers is replaced by the simple and versatile "uut" :] (aat is you, eet is 'i' or 'me', and eetaa is 'us')
Niko and the ukli are a big passion project of mine. After creating Aevolin (which was very generically just fantasy world but i tweaked the races. i'm still proud of some of the concepts, like elves being based on bugs and dwarves being based on moles) i knew i could be more creative and more unique and do my own completely original thing, hence creating a more complex and in depth world and race. i'd totally love more Niko questions!
