Hi lains. Does here anybody try to make your own language which can be used as a personal notes or just a hobby? >I don't know where should I post this, but I decided to write here; /hum/. I know making own language is gonna be really, really hard, inefficient, and wasting of time. Language is really complicated and it needs long time to be adaptive. But I want to waste my time at this. It looks like really interesting and funny. I want to get advice[1] from you. No matter you didn't try and consider about this or you won't do this never ever. >[1] How languages can be simple or easier to remember etc.

my original plans for a conlang were subsumed by other conlangs, but I still use the orthography I made as a shorthand. >Language is really complicated the natural languages are, and semantics itself is, but I don't think conlangs need to be difficult compared to e.g. Python. the difficulty is getting in the habit of using it when the value is purely intellectual. some stuff for your inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_primes http://ogden.basic-english.org/wordalph.html https://mw.lojban.org/papri/la_karda#Preface https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3781 will be interested in seeing your ideas. don't be shy about posting examples.

What would be cool is an adapted form of something like the ancient Mayan script, or something like Katakana/Hiragana, but instead it is natively adapted to the syllables of English. A writing system like that could keep your communication private, for a little bit, until somebody "reverse engineers" what you had come up with, but is unlikely to happen to Internet nerds. Also, having a syllabary adapted to English, removes the ambiguities surrounding what a spelt word in the Latin script sounds like. The Mayan script also looks cool as fuarrrk. It would also be interesting to merge some Indo-European language with something completely unrelated, like Mandarin Chinese, or Ancient Egyptian, or Korean; merging the vocabulary of the four and some grammar points would be an interesting idea.

Eventually i want to make some sort of almost alien language for myself eventually. It will not be based on objects or words even. Have other things to do so i havent worked this out yet.

I desire a language purely based on simple Euclidean geometry, with analogies to sufficiently primitive social concepts such that extraterrestrials could very well invent the same or a similar language. Much like theosophy says colour should represent intention, the contents of a closed shape should encode a kind of logic for the intention of the entity represented by the shape. Empty shapes could represent recursion with either a present equivalent shape with contents, or some cognitive device one expects the reader to insert into that place. One could scale the interior of a shape infinitesimally for greater logical precision. Have you any opinions on those idea Lain ?

I really want to know the answer to OP

after the majority of Lains learn Toki Pona , Esperanto , and Lojban , they should design their own language for use with friends or relevant social contexts .

>>47173 English phonotactics are very unsuitable for a syllabary. Between our consonant clusters and our huge vowel inventory, a syllabary would be far too large to be practical. If you have experience with kana, then you should understand this by looking at the absurd hoops that the Japanese have to jump through in order to transcribe our language.

>>48634 Ithkuil is far more interesting than all those for online communication. Though very slow because it's so complicated.
