Language

[matsumo itsu offline]

Hi everyone, It's me again the Na'vi,Japanese, and French speaker wannabe(I speak them just not fluently). I was just thinking yesterday while learning klingon, that i should make my own language, so I did! I've already got the alphabet(beta phase though changes will happen and additions will occur). What is everything a language should have? I'm asking you all since there are plenty smarter than I. Also I was wondering how i should name the language. I'm making sure it has all the tenses(past present and future). I've got the sounds, though working on how the word sounds should be,( Since even in English our sounds don't match the letter unless you say "Apple" instead of "Ahpple". I've got sentence and other necessary markers. This is going to be a free verse language using the markers to identify.

You have just lost your award of "Cool person that can speak movie languages". Replacement: "Nerd Language person"

you know, I used to think people that memorized fictional languages like Klingon, Elvish, Na'vi were just a myth, an all-purpose pop culture punchline...

The nerdpocalypse is coming. Eywa save us all.

As did I. Tell me, was your face as amusing as mine was when you found out it was true? The seemingly-unhelpfulness, devotion and awesomeness behind it boggles the mind....we need more people like them in the world. Learning for the sake of knowing (and hopefully for the sake of using that knowledge).

Hey people sorry for late response, anyway quick update, i got numbers 1-9,999 in my language

I made 1-10, then for 20-90 i used 2(10) or 3(10) depending on if i want 20 or 30(Yes just like japanese) then you add for the ones place. hundreds follow same rule along with 1,000.

I also even made a writing system for my language. It's kind of like arabic maybe? But it's interesting no doubt.
