i'm going to do (yet another) meta post on the fandom's irken language stuff, so uhh..when did you start working on your conlang? (if you want to answer!)
Oooooooo! Okay, so I started working on it like... Gosh, it must be eighteen months now! Long time. The conlang is also tied into some of my other stuff, like my calendar, because all my months and days obviously have conlang names and such. Anything that I name I use my conlang lol. I remember wanting to come up with it because I have always had a small pet peeve for sci-fi that had everyone magically speak English, so I kinda wanted the irkens to have a language.... Because i find it hard to believe they were colonized by the Brits/j

Ginger ramble about your irken conlang pleeaaaseee it's so cooool (I know you have on discord before but I want a Tumblr Post for Tumblr Reblogs okay? Okay.)
Omg!!!!! Oh gosh, I don't know where to start!
I made a little inforgraphic explaining some stuff, it's a little outdated tho but for now I'll link it here
Anyway,,, I guess I can explain some stuff a bit more thoroughly? Ramble below :P
SO..... First of all, the language is called Irketsi/Irkib, depending on whether or not you want it to be more grammatically correct or cool (Hint-Irkib is grammatically correct) And as of this writing, I think I have about 4,100 words!!! Full disclosure, a lot of those were intially generated.... butttt I have put hours and weeks and months worth of time perfecting and fine tuning and editing and adding words of my own. Anyway.
Grammar Stuffs
Irketsi is a SVO language (subject-verb-object), meaning a sentence like "Can I have an apple" would be "Can I apple have." Adjetives are post-positive, like in french (iirc), so for example, "the red rose" becomes "the rose red". Most verbs are regular, and the tenses are as follows:
Write : Gip
Past: written gipoízh
Remote Past: written (long ago) gipa'e
Perfect: have written gipuch
Future: will write gipítai
Nouns are gendered, with masculine, feminine, or neuter genders depending on word. this is important when it comes to conjugating plurals, because each gender has a different way of making a word a plural. Take the word 'broom' (dajeíp) it is a masculine noun, so it should be dajeípeích, but if it was a feminine word, it would be dajeípeí, and if neuter, dajeípa.
Um,,,, head empty so now I'm gonna post some pronunciation samples, and a lil song I wrote.
Mipta kaí 'akh thayvaonsí vaí rith? (Can I have hot chocolate please?)
Kaí khoweích ao. (I like languages.)
And the song demo
Hope you enjoyed! If you have specific questions, feel free to ask!!!!
