So [twitter.com profile] shutsumon has asked me to take part in Languary in January:

Get the phonology, phonotactics and basic grammar of a new language started

So, two things:

1) who wants to join us?

2) what am I gonna start a language for?

..(2a) I DO have an urban fantasy/cyberpunk setting on the back burner that I've been considering...
..(2b) There's always Old Tongue from Addergoole, but that's a nightmare
..(2c) What else?

Ooh! I am totally in. The Lexember posts have gotten the conlang bug in my brain, and I have started creating languages for a broad fantasy world that has been hanging out on a back burner for a while. All I have right now is a few bits of phonology and some history (the languages and the interactions of geography/politics/war are, of course, inextricable), so this looks perfect.

Hmm... what conlang would there be for an urban fantasy/cyberpunk setting? I guess you already have enough proto-Tabersi that the actual Tabersi language wouldn't be a project for Languary.

Do the dragons have a separate language? Or any of the other species in Dragons Next Door?

But now that the Calenyena and the Tabersi are going to meet, you have to figure out how much their languages differ! ^^

You could theoretically do one just for fun...

Better make up a language for it!
