#conworkshop

ConWorkShop Lexember days #17, #18, #19, #20 and #21

the prompts: “Feeling under the weather”, “Objects you could not explain to someone from 200 years ago”, “Things that are or can be red”, themeless, and “Things you’ve googled this week”

Anyway, the words in dark green are in Rannyei again, but the rest are in Nesyanian, one of my most developed conlangs.

Initially (like, back in 2019) I was trying to make it an analytical language with almost no declension, but my attempts failed miserably, so I ended up creating an agglutinative abomination. (Translating that from jargon: lots of long words created by adding affixes and/or sticking several words together). CWS has a tool where you can check what is the longest word existing in the dictionary of a conlang. In this case, it’s hinjerantuhinazėi [çin.d͡ʒe.ɾan.tuç.na.zəɪ̯] ‘archeologist’, but the complex verb conjugation system allows to create much longer words, like ladeitėuzhembedwayaxouya [la.deɪ.təʊs.hem.be.dwa.ja.xoʊ.ja] ‘if only they could not make me very happy’.

Besides that, Nesyanian has ejective consonants and a bunch of other interesting things. It’s also my most upvoted project on CWS (48 upvotes. Bruh, almost 50 people telling me they like my conlang. Now that’s heart-warming), and in June 2023 it won the Language of the Month community contest.

the prompts: “Literature”, “Things heavier than 10 kg”, “Spirits and the unseen folk”, themeless, and “A toast to...”

the end. A month and a half after completion, but it’s done. The conlang is Rannyei once again.

ConWorkShop Lexember days #12, #13, #14, #15 and #16

the prompts: “Midwinter words”, “Midsummer words”, “Things you would not want to receive for your birthday”, “Logical relations”, and “Things that explorers/adventurers carry”

Rannyei again

the prompts, respectedly: “Words that contain /o/ in your native language”, “Doubt, uncertainty, and hesitation”, “It's all fun and games”, promptless, and “Things found between cushions”

the prompt was “Baking ingredients”

The conlang is called Rannyei [ˈɾɑ.ɲːəj] and is one of my newer conlangs (registered it in July 2023. Time flies, eh). Worldbuilding-wise, it’s a language spoken by semi-nomads living in the steppes. (I will yap a bit more about my concultures soon :D)

(if anyone cares at all)
