1a. 30-Day Conlang- Day 30 - final wrapup
Posted by: "Gary Shannon" fizi...@gmail.com
Date: Tue Nov 30, 2010 8:43 am ((PST))
Day 30 of the 30-day conlang experiment.
Results:
I had a number of old conlangs laying around, and since it seems to be
my habit to use open syllables almost exclusively in all my earlier
projects, importing words from those older conlangs worked fairly
well, so on the last few days I merged several older conlang
dictionaries and ended up with a dictionary that has 2336 Txtana words
and 4172 English words. That and the fact that I have translated a
wide variety of sentences leads me to believe that I understand the
grammar well enough to translate just about any sentence that came my
way, with only minimal new coinages required.
Conclusions:
This turned out to be an interesting and practical way to bootstrap a
conlang. There are a couple things I would do a little differently in
any future version. First, I would pick a text at a slightly more
elementary reading level. Perhaps something aimed at around a
12-year-old audience without so many long and convoluted sentences.
Second, I think I might invent some productive affixes earlier on and
make it a habit to coin related words at the same time as the
principle word needed for the translation. So I might, for example,
coin {happy, unhappy, happiness, unhappiness, happily, unhappily} as a
matched set instead of just coining the single one I needed at the
moment.
Next Move:
For now I'm going to put the language on the shelf for at least a
couple of weeks so I can pick it up later and look at it with a fresh
eye. It so often turns out when I pick up a project again after a few
weeks (or a few months) of being away from it that I spot problems I
didn't realize existed and solutions for problems I couldn't solve
before. In addition being slightly removed from the project gives me
better perspective on its overall merit or lack thereof, and I seem to
be able to spot and remedy instances of clumsiness, awkwardness, and
downright ugliness more easily.
Plus, I need a break from it after 30 days non-stop. So this is the
last update for now.

Here here! I enjoyed reading the updates and watching the language evolve.
And I second the value of derivational affixes. They can be real vocabulary
multipliers, especially if you think metaphorically.

Date: Tue Nov 30, 2010 12:53 pm ((PST))
Dear Conlang Friends, we need Your help. Please be so kind and forward this
information to potential course candidates. This is the first attempt, when
E.U. supports a conlang project:
You are warmly invited to participate at the opened one-week course
CZ-2011-073-001 on Experiential Learning of Status Skills in Prague, 15-21
August 2011. This is an E.U. course in the educational section Comenius -
Grundtvig Training.
Course participant improve own skills and readiness to collect information
about processes and intercultural differences between home country and
selected Slavic country. They will prepare e-learning web content for own
courses in training of status skills. Understanding of verbal skills will be
trained using a constructed language in environment of cultural visits of the
UNESCO-protected towns Prague and Kutna Hora. Written communication will be
trained in open source software Joomla. Sample texts in neoslavonic
conlanguage will be in booklet of exercises. Pictures of nonverbal expressions
of human body and pragma-linguistic approaches will be used to explain both
words and grammar. Vocabulary will be built by each members of the group in
own language. Participant will be requested to elaborate specific wording
for his or her own language and culture. This procedure is
called "flavorisation". It enables to use known words from other slavic
languages. Babel Tower experiential learning technique will be organised.
Deadline for registration:

I.e., the same way as in my conlang Roman Germanech - where I decided
to do that without any knowledge of the Indonesian orthography, BTW.
In Roman Germanech, though, the acute is set only when the /e/ in
question is the last full vowel of the word; it is implied that
any unaccented |e| before another full vowel (including an /e/
written |é|) represents /e/, as a schwa never precedes a full vowel
in that language. It also means that the /e/ is stressed, as the
stress always falls on the last full vowel of the word.
Another spelling of /e/ in Roman Germanech is |ä|, which indicates
that the /e/ results from umlaut of /a/. The language also uses |ö|
and |ü|, with their usual values. But that's all of diacritic usage
in Roman Germanech.
The Latin transcription for my other major conlang, Old Albic, uses
acute and circumflex accents on vowel letters to indicate long vowels
of two different intonation types. The seven vowel letters are |a e i
o ø u y|, all of which can carry either of the two diacritics. There
are no other diacritics and no other special letters, but I use the
digraphs |ph th ch| for spirants and |ng| for the velar nasal.

And I still think it is. You are right that there is thorn and W (even
though it started as a "double u", it became a new letter). Anyway, these
are minor matters, and I didn't claim no new letters were ever created.
My point is that there is a correlation between scripts and scriptures in
modern Western and Middle Eastern societies, but there wasn't in ancient
times. We have the Latin script in catholic regions, the Cyrillic script in
Slavic-orthodox regions, the Arabic script in Muslim regions. Of course,
there was a series of developments (or catastrophes) in the 20th century
that led to the introduction of the Latin or the Cyrillic script instead of
the original Arabic script in a number of languages, such as Turkish, Hausa,
or Uyghur.

Is there no correlation between the Hebrew scriptures and the Aramaic/Hebrew
alphabets, the Zend-avesta and the Pahlavi script, the Vedas and the Devanagari
alphabet?

Of course there was! That's why the complicated system of
'pointing' to denote vowels and other features was
developed. There was a need for the scriptures to be read
correctly, but also the view was that the very letters in
which those scriptures were written should not be changed,
i.e. you can't add extra letters for vowels etc when the
cannon is fixed.
> the Zend-avesta and the
> Pahlavi script, the Vedas and the Devanagari alphabet?
I am very certain that this is so.
But even closer to home are the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer.
Before saying more, I will digress on just one point. Some
recent posts on Vietnamese seem to have missed the point. I
said in my original email that the acute, grave & circumflex
accents were originally invented by the Alexandrian
grammarians to denote differences in pitch; I have opined
more than once that the use of diacritics to denote prosodic
or suprasegmantal features is IMO their "proper" use (tho I
have conceded since that some more typographically distinct
way of doing this is desirable).
What I object to is the piling up of diacritics on one
character; that's what we find in Vietnamese. But we find
it also in the conventional printing of ancient Greek. On
initial vowels (or the second vowel of a diphthong/digraph)
we may find both an accent and a breathing, e.g.
ἂ ἂ ἃ ἄ ἅ ἆ ἇ
So how did that come about?
In 403 BCE the Athenians voted to abandon their own version
of the alphabet and adopt the eastern Ionian one (which
remains the official Greek alphabet until the present day).
The advantage was that vowel distinctions were more clearly
shown (they now had seven symbols instead of five); but the
downside was that there was no symbol for /h/ - not a
problem to the Ionian since they "dropped their aitches" :)
The other thing that happened is that during the 5th century
BCE the Homeric texts had become standardized and the
Athenian cannon became the accepted one.
Now, as I have observed before, the Greek diacritics were
devised in the first place to ensure the correct
pronunciation of the Homeric texts. But the texts
themselves could not be altered, i.e. you couldn't go
inserting a new letter for /h/! Any marks to indicate
correct reading had to go above or below the letter. Sound
familiar? Ain't that exactly the same problem that
confronted the Masoretes and others who wanted to show the
correct pronunciation of Hebrew? Of course it is.
The familiar 'breathings' were developed to show whether
there was an initial /h/ or not.
Thus, to maintain that there was no correlation between
sacred text (and the texts of the Iliad and Odyssey were
sacred to the ancients) and script in ancient times is
demonstrably false.

Yes - no one AFAIK has disputed that. Indeed, it would be
foolish to do so.
But what I do dispute is that this has inhibited the
development of extra letters. Indeed, it clearly has not if
one bothers to look at the Arabic based scripts of Farsi,
Urdu and other languages that are/were written in an Arabic
devised alphabet.
I know of no evidence that the scriptures restricted those
using the Roman alphabet to just 23 letters. In fact, I
think it is pretty clear that it did not. Thorn, for
example, had a long use in English (during those centuries
when Catholicism was the established religion in England!) -
what killed it of as a separate letter was the advent of
printing in the 15th century.

This implies, I guess, that the Homeric texts known and used by the
Athenians were not in their own version of the alphabet, but in that
Ionian one. After all, Homer was Ionian. If the Athenians had had a
distinct letter for "aitch", they could have dragged that along, but
apparently it (the "heta") was identical in form to the Ionian "eta".
This explains why the capital eta looks so much like an H. Some of
the colonies in Italy were ionian, but not all. Hades in the pre-403
Athenian script would look like Ηαδες, I guess - no letter for
long e (and no accents).

I'm up for sending cards. It'll be the first christmas card I've ever
sent, so a somewhat monumentous event. I can hardly wait to see what
comes next.

Thanks for the nudge! I am running a bit late starting it this year. I need
to add a "2010" field to the options and then (hopefully tomorrow) I will post
details about how new participants can sign up and old ones can sign up for
this year.
At this point it would be more of a "by New Year's" than by Christmas. (But
it will be running, so anyone who plans to participate can start working on
their card design!)
