Do you have a particular fondness for Indo-Aryan? I don't think we've seen any such conlangs ever.

Maybe they just really enjoy diacritics as well as yummy toasted sandwiches?

Pan Pāṇini's panini press pressed paninis in Pāṇini's pan.

Prepare to see two or more examples from CBBers:
elemtilas has Talarian, or Tenxwwar Haryuça, an awesome oldie-but-goodie.
Ear of the Sphinx has worked on Indika.
Shemtov has Nerian, along the Graeco-Armeno-Aryan Clade.
✫✯♛Adnaan♛✯✫ has created Milani, which is not too distant cousin to Aseca's Aloha & Levasca.
I believe that they have collaborated on some Indo-Aryan inspired conworlding and conlanging, but damned if I recall properly what or how that went.

Re: Introduction thread(s)
If you disagree, maybe provide some examples?
Re: Introduction thread(s)
I know Shemtov's made one. I know Chagen has beautiful Pazmat, and Iyionaku has Paatherye. Maybe Frislander was using a "royal we"?shimobaatar wrote:If you disagree, maybe provide some examples?

I assumed Frislander was talking about a posteriori Indo-Aryan conlangs.

In-world it's Oriental Neo-Puntic and rather predates the Central Neo-Puntic that will eventually give rise to Sandho-Aryan and thus to the Sandhic languages and the modern Hellado-Sandhic and Judeo-Hellado-Sandhic dialects.

Re: Introduction thread(s)
So, I've already introduced myself, but since I haven't been active here for some years, I am going to do it again!
I am from Italy and my family is from Wenzhou in China. My native language is Italian and my Chinese is work in progress. I also speak the Wenzhou dialect which is famous in China for being unintelligible to all other Chinese dialects. I like a posteriori languages and since I am a kind-of a beginner, I only make conlangs related to natlangs I speak. I have made a romlang, but I don't consider it interesting enough to be shared on the internet.
On the other hand I will soon open an introduction thread for Tekian, this Chinese based conlang I am working on.

Re: Introduction thread(s)
Welcome! Is Tekian a true Sinitic language derived from Middle Chinese or earlier or is it not based off of a historical derivation per se?
Re: Introduction thread(s)
It split from Chinese sometime between 2000 BCE and 1000 BCE.Is Tekian a true Sinitic language derived from Middle Chinese or earlier or is it not based off of a historical derivation per se?
I did use this reconstruction of old Chinese, but I made Tekian split earlier and put some sound distinction that are not present in Old Chinese. For example the numerals 1 and 7 don't rhyme in Old Tekian.
The main reason why I made it split earlier was that Tekian has SOV word order, and I thought it was unlikely for a SVO language like Old Chinese to evolve into a SOV language, while on the other Chinese is likely to descend from a SOV language.

Re: Introduction thread(s)
Hello, I'm Zekoslav.
I've been interested in languages (both conlangs and natlangs - I actually study linguistics
) for a long time, but only recently I managed to come up with something worth sharing.
Usually I make a posteriori languages, because I can't for the love of all that is holy ever decide how I want to name something. I've learned a lot about natlangs that way: I remember I had an idea to make a more conservative cousin of French, only to discover I had accidentally recreated old Occitan.![:D [:D]](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin2.png)

Re: Introduction thread(s)
Oh good, I like interesting a-posteriori stuff, particularly non-Indo-European things (although I'd be very happy with interesting takes on Indo-Iranian actually, we don't see many of those!). I look forward to seeing you grow and develop as a conlanger.
