Improved terms for sexualities. No more grecolatin hybrids anerotic androerotic gynerotic panerotic

Being bisexual, exclusively monosexual attraction has been very unintuitive to me; so, I thought of an analogy. I am not sexually attracted to squirrels. I don't believe I will ever be attracted to a squirrel. For heterosexual men, other men are squirrels. #bivisibility #pride #bisexual #lgbt

Translation recommendations? I am looking for more informal writing/speech to translate (silly and mad recommendations encouraged) #conlang #conlanging #conlangs #langsky #translation

Going to make some linguistic vocabulary for Likashi so I can describe it with itself

Something that I find jarring/confusing is when people who have spoken English for their entire lives can't seem to immediately be able to tell that lyrics don't scan (usually when rewriting lyrics of an existing song). (+)

Note to self: make an abbreviation for "coffee" in Likashi because rtík’ûnkwa is long

An updated description of gender in Likashi. #conlang #conlangs #conlanging

After no conlang posts in over a month (!) here’s a new post for a new language! It’s a “cursed” musical conlang, involving harmonies strange enough that they’re basically unplayable on any instrument. As far as I know, anyway. www.tumblr.com/levunalangs/...

Canticle of Mary in Likashi: Hwéqa Ķùkwi yiķáķa: cùt’íkwîwe rzâqa Ķùkwi rétéraqa ķéķú. Şuşu yişe tú nkwetùvítê şáķá. Zêşe, ye tívafu: qafámé ciwâ vu lhumévávi yiméqa. Şuşu qafávè ķi kwi: t’imè rémétê mévávi. Yikùfítê suķitù suķi nkunkísé, ye ciwâ vûzìritì. (+) #conlang #conlangs #conlanging

The first reply: "Learn Sanskrit. If you succeed, you will be able to take on anything life throws at you. If you fail, then death is preferable to a life without Sanskrit."

Surely this can only be more of a reason to do it in English?

calling libgen the "pirated-books database" is funny like it's true but it's weirdly alarmist cause gun to my head I won't even spend one of my livers on a 13 page paper talking about conditionals.

Faithfulness is not always the end goal of a translation

In addition to Hangul, I've heard that the Igbo diasporic script known as Ndebe is somewhat featural, and that the Ditama tsa Dinoko script invented for Southern Bantu languages is ultra featural: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditema_...

weird thing is that the sense of "drink cigarettes" is licit in Early Modern English. Is there a reason for like the frequent drink~smoke collocations. Is it just a "CONSUME (through mouth) [-SOLID]" thing.

I had a #dream that I was working on getting Vàlà Nîķí (piece of #music I made in my #conlang Likashi) performed with the musical director of a show I'm in. He criticized the piece, however as he is such a lovely person in real life, the criticism was all completely fair and constructively given.

yk it's weird that 'see' is not one of the most basic verbs because some languages have 'perceive+eye' compound features for it. (cf. Gumuz)

Far too true, and the degree has killed all hunger that existed to be an academic

Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.
