Hello and welcome to what is essentially my attempt to nail down the Vuase language once and for all after 7 years of waffling. What I have created is a proto-proto-protolanguage and a sketch of a few thousand years of linguistic history. That’s what this thread is for—to nail down more concretely t...

(And also to take the time to learn how they spell it. It's somewhat disheartening to see that about a third of the posts here containing my username have it wrong.) I find it a bit funny that Corphishy's signature has "Aszev" spelled correctly, but the list in their post has "Aszef". I honestly ju...

Today I want to talk about the fruits of my very complex and frankly obscene sound changes from Proto-Bwn to Vuase. Writing them all out in sequence would be a nightmare and probably pretty boring, but at some point I probably will (however, I will probably make an entire thread dedicated to PB). An...

Very cool! [:D] Is Vuase prodrop in any circumstances? Seeing as of the two irrealis forms you mentioned, only one marks for person. Yes, it is pro-drop usually, except when the clauses is ergative (ie except when the verb does not mark for person at all). Although in some circunstances the subject...

Instead of introducing this conlang for the third time what I will instead do is just start talking about the new stuff that Vuase does and I'll finish editing the older posts later (the posts on verbal morphology can just as well be completely rewritten and I may just strikethrough them entirely, b...

I personally don't care for like buttons as I feel like it gives an unnecessary level of competition to make a "good thread" rather than to just have genuine human conversation. However, if there were to be a like button, there definitely should NOT be a dislike button. Dislike buttons are probably ...

Alright, so I have been workshopping this language and the world of which it is a part for quite a while now. Namely, I have been fleshing out the protolang for Vuase and thus its sisters: Proto-bʷn̩ (Henceforth PB ). I will take this post and perhaps subsequent posts to outline PB for y'all. Phonol...

Good morning (I say writing this at like 4 AM), and welcome to the forum! I have a few questions and comments. 1) Is Sikwenchu a play on Sequential? If so, I would like to know what the reason for that is? I would then also like to know if this language is a posteriori, and to what extent. 2) Why do...
