Hello. I'm really concerned about Celtic languages, especially Irish. Is there any sources to learn Irish?

It was a joke that I didn't even notice that I posted it myself...

But soon... We'll see.

Yeah I kind of expected that to be somewhat exaggerated. XD

Small thematic wordlist before I go to bed:
Kauto / jein - trousers (jein was originally only used for jeans, but the usage has spread to trousers in general)
Hemise - shirt
Ticere - t-shirt
Capu - sock
Bukda - underwear

There's been a language without verbs, yes... but has there been a language without nouns?

I'm sure there has been conlangers attempting to do that.. but have they succeeded? Probably not. XD

Do you have dual and trial as well?

no

Never encountered quadral, but it wouldn't surprise me if it does/did exist; at least in pronouns..
I had a conlang once with both dual and paucal. It was quite fun. :)

Word of the day:
Doahilkí - creative

A compound of doahya - art, creative work; and ilkí - smart, competent, professional. So basically art-smart. I'm satisfied with that word formation. :D

Hielenu adien Hanamguo, i hudie hun is Dieju ye Nejäthyetes! :)
Hello to you Hanamgwo and welcome to the Council of Constructed Languages! :)

Interesting concept with a creole from Korean and Native American languages. Do you have a back story?

Auruna, hva zajn de liit geehin?

Auruna, how's the song going?

Auruna, how's the song going?

Leita hevä.
The song is going well.

Although after what Kongfuzia said, that their translation doesn't follow the melody, I am not sure if I can include their lines.
(Even when I checked that some of the lines can match with slight difficulty)

Anyway, I'll post it soon after I have a lot of free time so I can work on the formatting.

Assuming by “grammar” you mean an instruction book:

Start with sentence structure and basic vocabulary. (Pronouns, household objects, verb conjugation rules)
If you’re dedicated, a pronunciation guide, IPA if you know how.

Hélot! Güd ist yousse ếll?

Na.

1. Bhauttan uses the bound suffixes -Vḥ to mark nominative nouns, -s to mark absolutive nouns and transitive verbs, which are agglutinative
2. All others like the perfective aspect or locative case are marked using postpositions/clitics, not attached suffixes, which is an isolating feature
3. Similarly, English has some bound suffixes, like possessive 's and plural -s

Considering my language has _some_ bound morphemes but still mostly using unbound morphemes/clitics, do I say that it is isolating or agglutinative?

Understood. I would thank you two, but in Bhauttan Buddhist culture, you two can thank me as I provided you with an opportunity to do good 'hyihyihyihyi' *tibetan emoticon*

Don't nail me on this, but if I understand the description of your language correctly, it is an analytical language.

I am interested in making a factbook where u could see basic details of ppls langauge here, like wat their language looks like, n dominant word order. I can also do a bunch of pie hcharts abt how much languages are SOV n stuff
R u interested ? Take a look

Name in English:
Name in own language:
Name in own language (transliterated):
What script does your language use?:
Language family:
Number of speakers:
Translate the following: "I saw the mother, and in her arms was a small baby that cried."
Literal translation:

Why did you make this language? Hobby, worldbuilding, school, etc.
How developed is this language?: Recently started, halfway complete, mostly complete, functional, etc.
How long has this language been developed?:
Dominant word order: SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OSV, OVS, topic-prominent, no dominant order, other (define)
What is this language's typology? (agglutinative, fusional, polysynthetic, isolating, analytic)
A priori (made from scratch) or a posteriori (based on another language):
How many words are in your vocabulary?:
Other interesting features of note:

Name in English: Prakrit
Name in own language: گٗمْ سِنْدھُتےشْ
Name in own language (transliterated): Gom Sindhuteṣ
Language family: Indo-European > Indo-Iranian > Sindhic
Number of speakers: 250 million

ماتامامْ اہاوکٗمْ، ح اسْمِنْ باتھےصُ امْ، رِنْ کْسُدْ شِشُچمْ اوِدِمْ۔ Mātāmām ahāukoṃ, ha asmin bātheṣu am, rin kṣūḍ śiśucam avidiṃ.

How many words are in your vocabulary?: 500
Other interesting features of note:
- Prakrit uses a system of ablaut to mark tense or aspect
- Sanskrit cases were lost, but new cases were developed from demonstratives in a process similar to Romanian
- Prakrit inherited many traits from neighbouring Bhauttan, like a stative-active morphological alignment, noun compound formation, and a pitch accent
- Prakrit, instead of third person pronouns, has demonstrative pronouns that can be used to mark obviate/salient nouns
- Adjectives and relative clauses are treated like verbs, and are marked by being turned into participles
- Because of its inconsistent design, Prakrit is often written using the Naskh script in computers because its Nastaliq script is difficult to render
Is the wording 2 hard/2 long 2 answer? Shoudl i add other quesetions? what u think?
