Sylvan has a proper internal name. Henceforth it is Khyisfafȕ [xʲis.faˈfyː˨]. This is a compromise form from Dawn’s Khyisefafȕ and Dusk Khithfafű, both contracted forms of a phrase meaning “The Fey’s Tongue” altered to have a class IV (parasite) suffix. #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg

I cannot believe that I've gone over a year just calling this language Sylvan! Let's fix that today, in about 30 mins (8AM CT). We'll name the language and our four major "dialects" (we'll make a term for that, too). #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg youtube.com/live/LJz9Nmr...

Hey folks! I'm working with a bunch of conlanging and worldbuilding creators on some #Lexember prompts! I'm going to be posting short-form videos every day with my words and the prompts that inspired them. Follow along and share your own words! #conlang #linguistics youtu.be/sfHGuRbb1OI

This looks like a pretty cool set. I'll be making my own prompts (with a group of conlanging/worldbuilding YouTubers), but I love to see a diversity of approaches.

Join me in about 30 minutes as we wrap up our work on Sylvan romanization. I have a different approach to tackling vowels that should be workable. We may even get to some language/dialect names. #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg youtube.com/live/Myzxj6f...

I had to edit today’s stream. Here is the VOD. Tongues and Runes S2E48 youtu.be/leRDI5JiaIs

Wanted to send out a reminder that we have a pretty big Patreon poll coming up for Sylvan to determine what class the word for "sun" falls under, which informs words for other celestial bodies and maybe more. #conlang #language #linguistic #dnd #ttrpg www.patreon.com/posts/poll-w...

Join me in Faerie in half an hour (8AM Central Time). If you're less linguistically inclined, this is a good Tongues and Runes to get into, because we're going to just work on the thematic associations of each of the four Faerie courts. #conlang #language #linguistics www.youtube.com/live/CaB57pg...

Tomorrow at 8AM Central Time, we will be back to working on Sylvan! Patrons have decided to focus on developing out Dawn and Dusk for spellcasting. This stream will focus one the thematic associations of each of the courts.#conlang #language #linguisics www.youtube.com/live/CaB57pg...

Jessie and I created a bunch of #conlang sketches for an album by Chronicles of the Residuum. That album is out today! You can check it out here (or on any streaming service): youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We just added a page to our database that defines language deciphering games. So, you can find games in that genre there or scroll down for the highlights! thinkygames.com/list... 1/7

Interesting #linguistics topic. Very interesting how a particular set of singing traditions can lead to so much phonological change that you have difficulty understanding the words. youtu.be/r6DJSPPn-fo...

The recording of the 2025 Ready to Revitalize showcase is now available on YouTube, spotlighting community language revitalization programs in Canada, Kenya, the US, Indonesia, France, South Africa, Nepal, Ukraine, Cameroon, Mexico, and Aotearoa: youtu.be/Yb6zKkeMQCA?...

In about 30 minutes (8 am CT). I will be live with a few of the participants of the YouTube Conlang relay to go over what happened with the text. #conlang #language #linguistics

Following up on the second YouTube Conlang Relay, I’ve got a new video up reflecting on what I’ve learned from running it and hopefully some advice on running one yourself! #conlang #language #linguistics youtu.be/XiAL_cIwZx8

Noting another particularly interesting CCC entry. An interesting satirical take on Signed Exact English and similar manual encodings of oral languages #conlang #language #linguistics #ccc4 youtu.be/eIKYp6_uRkM

Sometimes when you're constructing a language you work out a couple pet peeves. (Screenshot is from my PhD dissertation, which includes language learning lessons on the #conlang Tybewana after each chapter of the associated novel.) #conlanging #academicsky #tybewana

I made up a constructed language for my world building project, because it didn’t feel right to use RL asian or totally made-up-meaningless logograms. Yesterday I reached the point where it has the basic funcionality and I can write out very important signs like these: 1. Soup Kitchen 2. Noodle

Today is the day! Welcome the 2025 YouTube Conlang Relay, when you can watch a short sort of philosophical text about spiders slowly becomes.... a completely different thing. #conlang #language #linguistics www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Voting for the Cursed Conlang Circus is OPEN! I am a participant but it looks like there are a ton of great entries. #ccc4 #conlang youtu.be/QmGayZcqrwo?...

No stream today. I'm a bit beat and I also am resting up for the release of the 2025 YouTube Conlang Relay on Monday at 10 AM CT! You should totally watch as my text gets progressively weirder over the course of four hours of video. #conlang #language #linguistics www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Just want to be sure the folks who follow me who are in the Phoenix area know that Jessie and I will be at ASU from the 19th to the 22nd! We’ll be presenting at the link below, but also happy to meet up with any #conlang folks in the area! asuevents.asu.edu/event/art-an...

As I expected, Jonathan’s cursed musiclang is far superior to my own in both cursedness and technical quality. Please check it out!

Today's stream will be a bit different. After a vote in my Discord I decided that I'd go over my CCC4 language, Synthlish, process discussion, Q&A, and possibly some live translations. Live in about 30 mins. #conlang #language #linguistics youtube.com/live/QltYH-4...

Kopikon is about to begin! If you like conlanging or are just curious, tune into the livestream! #conlang #language #linguistics www.youtube.com/live/E2G9g2w...

I have returned for a jaunt in the multiverse and returned with a strange language of sound synthesis. Enjoy my first entry in the Cursed Conlang Circus! (Also... uh... help? You'll understand.) #conlang #language #linguistics #ccc4 youtu.be/JkatyHclw4g

I received copies of my book, How to Create a Language, and couldn’t be happier! Thank you to the team at Cambridge University Press who made this dream a reality, and thank you to all my beautiful supporters! Especially thank you to @dedalvs.bsky.social for always encouraging me! #conlang

Streaming in about 20 minutes! We’re doing some more revisiting Ndăkaga. Specifically, I want to get an idea on how to turn the script into something more cursive for writing in spell books. www.youtube.com/live/RI3zHjf... #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg

I have received a copy of How to Create a Language by Jessie Peterson. Review coming soon!

Though the big news is @quothalinguist.bsky.social's new book #TheConlangGuide from @universitypress.cambridge.org is now available, she also created a tremendous resource for designing a #conlang stress system. It’s the #FiatLingua article for 2025 and available for download now! fiatlingua.org

My book officially out! #conlang

Today is the ten year anniversary of The Art of Language Invention! ~:D If you want to hear a bit about what went into it and what’s next, I’ll be live streaming at 2 p.m. Pacific on my YouTube channel (less than 30 minutes from now!). #conlang #language #aoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQL9...

In about 10 minutes we're having another Tongues and Runes. I've had so much fun with Draw Steel incantations that I just want to keep doing it! #conlang #language #linguistics youtube.com/live/u2AcCIN...

One hour until Tongues and Runes time! We're going to continue our work on Nd*ăkaga incantations for Draw Steel's Elementalist. #conlang #language #linguistics #ttrpg #drawsteel youtube.com/live/xdqkJ74...

I had so much fun with my Draw Steel incantations I've decided to continue a second week! Join me tomorrow at 8AM Central Time! #conlang #language #linguistics #ttrpg #drawsteel youtube.com/live/xdqkJ74...

#linguistics / #conlang / #comics Apparently _Dan Dare: Marooned on Mercury_ originally published in Eagle comics in the '50s, featured an alien Mercurian language, which may or may not (probably not) have been an actual worked-out conlang. Anybody know about this?

In about an hour (8am CT), we have a very special Tongues and Runes, where I go back to Ndăkaga and create incantations for the Elementalist in the @hellomcdm.bsky.social RPG Draw Steel! Check it out! #conlang #language #linguistics #ttrpg #drawsteel youtube.com/live/-amuYaO...

For those headed to Los Angeles Comic Con, @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I will be presenting on our latest #Kryptonian #conlang from the recent #Superman film. Our presentation is Sept. 27th at 3:00 p.m. in room 405. Hope to see you there! #LACC

This week’s Tongues and Runes will be a little different. I’m going to go back to Ndăkaga again to do incantations for Draw Steel by @hellomcdm.bsky.social. Let’s see if we can do this for a different game system. #conlang #language #linguistics #ttrpg #drawsteel

I interviewed short-form linguistics creator @human1011.bsky.social about his "Dragon Language" and doing conlanging and ling communication on shortform video. #conlang #language #linguistics youtu.be/ITCspEnU32c

It's time for myself and Worldbuilding Pasta's stream for @madelinejames.bsky.social's Worldbuilding Festival. Tune in here in about 5 minutes to watch us hash out a naming language for Pasta's world! #conlang #language #linguistics #worldbuilding youtube.com/live/Wv7TZo4...

It's time for the Worldbuilding Festival to begin! We start with a worldbuilding challenge. I can't participate, but I'm excited to see what the contestants come up with! #worldbuilding youtube.com/playlist?lis...

New #AoLI on color terms! #conlang youtu.be/CvsoXH_dlDU?...

Streaming in about an hour (8am CT) with some wrap up figuring out the phonological inventory of our last Sylvan dialect and starting on the compromise inventory we'll need to go into koineization. #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg youtube.com/live/ZzM0a5W...

I've got a new video on how I make conlang dictionaries! youtu.be/t42LelwO8zA?... #conlang #language #linguistics

Internet Gods Willing, I will be streaming in about an hour (8am CT) with more Tongues and Runes. We're still working out some constructions in the Sylvan dialects before moving on to the koineization stage. #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg youtube.com/live/ix9-_Sr...

Patrons have a new video available, all about how I make my conlang dictionaries. Wordmages and above can watch right now. Full video on YouTube on Monday. #conlang #language #linguistics www.patreon.com/posts/whats-...
