Am i reading that right?

That makes him 14/15...

Indeed, I am 14. I've always had an interest in conworlding but only recently have I discovered the art of conlanging and by extension this forum.

Any witty insights on the polka?

It's almost always in the 2/4 time signature. Not very witty, but it's what I got

I like to listen to the traditional folk songs of Slovak and Czech a lot...maybe those songs have turned me into a "Slav"-aboo in some sense...

Well, of course you should!

The whole point of being here, or in any glossopoetic forum, is to a) show off what you're up to, conlinguistically and b) learn from & enjoy what everyone else is showing you. You know, that whole "teach & learn" thing.

After all, how exciting would this place be if the whole content of the posts were nothing but

• I made a conlang.

• • Kewl.

Get on with it already and make that thread! And for the love of Pete's old biscuit recipe, don't stop at phonology! Show us how your languages work, and most importantly, show us them in action!

If they're a part of a broader fictional world or even alt-history, do also tell us about that aspect of your work!

[shimobaatar]

Welcome to the board, Osia! Feel free to post whatever you want about your languages at your own pace, but please don't feel like you have to.

[Osia]

All right, I'll post some stuff on here soon. Thank you for the responses.
