(1/2) About Classic Bittic - Chapter 2. This is a rough summary of the in-universe history of Bittic explaining how a digital language about one of humanity's interstellar colonization efforts before FTL travel was discovered. #conlangs #conlang

Hello all! I'm starting a new presentation series covering my conlang, Bittic, what it is, and how it works. My hope is to describe the whole language by the end of the series. The first chapter covers what makes Bittic Bittic. #conlangs #conlang

#2 Cooking in micro-gravity has the issue of food floating away. The Iridians solved this by having the food be held by two hot plates, a cooking preference that continued when they made space stations with artificial gravity. #lexember #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript #worldbuilding

#Lexember finally finished this one uni really got all of my time, i can hardly take even one breath For this topic i chose family members, since Heiman has plenty of those-- #Conlang #Heiman #Worldbuilding

Some details on how Classic Bittic handles people terms showcasing how Iridians viewed the world around them. #lexember #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

Just a light showcase of this pair of Bittic glyphs. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 28: Combinations of "to say" or "speach" with each of Classic Bittic's 13 verbs. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 26: When the Trévandorean colonies of Valsorelle and Nivor lost contact with the Imperium, Prince Melvinien, a layabout second son of a second son, found himself the highest-ranking noble in the colonies. Within weeks, his allies had established the Nivoréan Principality. (1/5)

#ConlangNovember 26: (1/2) Technically, everything in Bittic is a composition that has been preserved. In-universe, Bittic is the only record of the Iridian civilization. I'm making myths and stories about them, and there's one in Basic Bittic. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 25: This is the best inappropriate phrase in Classic Bittic that I can come up with right now. Turns out, it's hard to make crude words in a pictographic language without it becoming NSFW. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 24: FS doesn't have many idioms of its own, with most just being calqued from local spoken languages and so avoided in a good chunk of FS's use cases, but there are a couple, like this compound sign "unnuanced" literally being "all one color" drive.google.com/file/d/1FYad...

#ConlangNovember 22: In the setting, Bittic is unique as a radioglyphic language. Although, some glyphs were derived from the orthography of spoken languages such as Chinese. For example, the glyph for "person" was based on 人. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 21: Bittic only has only 12 nouns. Here's the glyph for "bone" combined with every noun. Not every combination is productive, but that might just be an imagination failure on my end. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 20: I probably have covered this before somewhat in #phori, but in response to this prompt, here are some of them again: Hello: "Eye᷈" (IFM)/"Eye᷈te" (FM) Goodbye: "Bo̤l" (IFM)/"Bo̤lem" (FM) Thank You: "Òwel" (IFM)/"Òwelann" (FM) Sorry: "Bāre᷈n" Yes/No: "Ye᷈l"/"Sha᷈k" (1/2)

#ConlangNovember 20: Bittic, being a language of a spacefiaring culture, has some space-related idioms. Here are some of them. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 19: The only real change between the older Basic Bittic and the younger Classic Bittic is the change to a heavily prefixing grammar from a more sporadic infixing form. I do plan on demonstrating some semantic changes though. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 17: Polish Notation was a huge inspiration for the grammar of Classic Bittic. All the colors here are to make reading easier for you. Normally, all the glyphs would be two colors. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 15& 16: Playing catch-up... Classic Bittic uses VSO word-order and is strictly head-initial in both nouns and verbs. I'm planning on using the locative particle as a sort of topic-marker but that's for later. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 14: A table with some descendants from Alun's word for "to stand up".

#ConlangNovember 14: The closest word Bittic has to "stand" is "stable". I've combined it with all of Classic Bittic's verbs. They're not as minimalist and elegant as Kēlen, but I still like them. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 13: Depending on the interpretation, Bittic has about 12 nouns and 13 verbs. Nearly everything else are content words that need to follow a noun or verb to have meaning. More complex ideas are expressed through compounding. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 12: Bittic has two verbs that can be used to convey that the action has happened sometime in the past. Otherwise, it uses prepositional time phrases. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 11: Bittic uses Direct Alignment. The reader must rely only on word order to infer who is doing what to whom. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 10: Bittic is an isolating language. The form of the glyphs do not change depending on grammar. Classifiers, simple verbs, and particles are common. Classic Bittic is special in that its grammar resembles Polish Notation. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 8: Since Bittic does not have a phonology, here is are the rules that govern what is a valid glyph. The idea is that every glyph fills out the whole space it occupies, making boundaries between the glyphs clear. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 7: I haven't decided if the Iridians knew about birds or not, but this might be their best approximation for "feather" using Classic Bittic's current lexicon. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 6: Glyphs in Classic Bittic are 4x4 grids of binary digits which represents a thing or a concept. These evolved from larger and more literal pictograms that had simplified and shrunk for more information density. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

#ConlangNovember 5: Bittic,being an international pictographic language, does not have a phonology in the traditional sense. On the radio waves, the message is encoded in bits of high and low frequencies. The total number of bits in a message must be a semi-prime for decoding.

Some quick catching-up for #ConlangNovember. Day 1: Bittic is a binary radioglyphic language that was used by a space-fairing people called the Iridians. While the culture is gone, the people left their history in the 1s and 0s of Bittic. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

Well, this has been frustrating. At least I'm making progress, I think.

I bought a new laptop and took a dive into Blender. I made a simple beginner's mesh of a spaceship, and I'm excited to develop my skills. #art #blender

(1/3) An ad for the Commonwealth Medical Pilots Corp in Classic Bittic. I'm working on trying to create more radioglyphic art to compliment Bittic. Hopefully it turned out well. #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript #worldbuilding

A translation that shows how Classic Bittic orders its phrases. A translation that would better fit English would be "They finished it without us knowing." #conlang #conlangs #langsky #conscript

@bitticresearcher.bsky.social Here is my main constructed script. #conlang These jpegs don't seem like they do a justice. I need to give it a fresh take. The conlang I have worked on which uses the script is here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Bittic's Word of the Week is postponed indefinitely. The lexicon rework has evolved into making a whole new grammar. I'm really exited to show you soon. Thank you for being patient. #conlang #conlangs #langsky

A drawing of an unnamed ginger I did for practice. I feel like I'm finding my style, but I'm not happy with how the nose turned out. #art

An update. No Bittic Word of the Week this week. I'm currently reworking the conlang's lexicon. It was in need of an overhaul. It will resume next week. Thank you for your patience. #conlang #conlangs #langsky

Annnnd another installation! (also new post design!) This time take a look at a Honorific system in pronouns! Next post will be on Honorific verb conjugations~ #conlang #worldbuilding #OC #OCs

I've been practicing drawing people and exploring what style suits me. I drew Savon, a character from @dmnitcernos.bsky.social with her permission. #art
