It is time to discuss our very own full autism conlang, Dengwe (from the P.I.E. "*dn̥ĝʰwéH2" meaning "tongue")
An update has been made to the orthography. It's optional to use diacritics (č, š, and ž), so if you have a standard English keyboard and have trouble typing them, you can use "ch," "sh," and "zh," respectively.
Nošme Pater, ki ast an Kemele Sanktifiki ast Tume Nome Tume Rege ejket Tume Welti didemet An Terse Kal ast an Kemel Dintet-noš is dien nošme dieni-pane I ludet-noš nošme delege. Kal noš ludet nošme delegewiromiš I na wedet-noš an temptašone. Mo smejet-noš po skelise. Amen

How does this work?
Bentley Thomas
What do you mean?
Carson Foster
Nvm I didn't see the Pastebin link
Lincoln Gonzalez
it looks like persian + latin
Jack White
If anyone with a Jewgle account/email wants to help design a dictionary that we can all edit, that would be great
Logan Flores
Both descended from P.I.E. and we're primarily basing the vocabulary off that, so it makes sense
Xavier Harris
>so if you have a standard English keyboard and have trouble typing them, you can use "ch," "sh," and "zh," respectively.
makes it look like gypsy speak 2bh

Na man gnosket ki tu seket.

dengwe ast morti.
Jordan Collins
Never thought I'd see a conlang thread on Sup Forums of all places, but I guess it makes sense. Word of advice OP, use IPA symbols for words in addition to any orthography you may have it'll make your life a lot easier. Is there any place were this is stored?
Leo Long
there's IPA in the pastebin
check OP subject
Chase Hall
My mistake.
Brayden Turner
Nice to see this finally coming along lads.
Nathaniel Brooks
This is not organic hence will fail, waste of time. Makes Esperanto look like a language
Jordan Kelly
Grašiš, brate! Cheers!

Mason Cooper
why the edgy swastika
are you guys nazis/white supremacists?
Sebastian Lewis
Is there a dictionary with all words made for this so far?
Ian Cox
Iron Age attestations of the swastika can be associated with Indo-European cultures such as the Indo-Iranians, Celts, Greeks and Germanic peoples and Slavs. It has nothing to do with Hitler.
Caleb Morgan
Maybe it wasn't supposed to be for brainlets like Esperanto.
Jace Gutierrez
It's probably just as easy as Esperanto, maybe a tiny bit more difficult because it's harder to recognize vocabulary (since Esperanto is like 90% English). I like this better though because it wasn't made by a jew.
Jack Murphy
the guy who started dengwe is out of the country visiting family for the holidays and doesnt have internet access for the time being. he said he was going to work on the dictionary when he got back but i figured we could pool together and make a google doc spreadsheet.
Christian Thompson
Do you have a conlang Discord by chance?
Isaac Morgan
i'm not sure if we have one or not. i joined up in one of those throwaway chatrooms with the guys who created this just as the main dude was leaving for russia or wherever.
Jeremiah Johnson
No, no Discord yet. Piruz is in Tajikistan right now and apparently the internet there is shit and nobody in his family has it anyway.
We should probably work on setting one up though.
Noah Harris
Looks very uninspired, why should I learn this and not some other generic Indo-European conlang?
There should be a TWIST to it.
Leo Bennett
We only have like 10% of a language at the moment and everyone is open to ideas. If you have any intelligent contribution, please let us know. We'd be happy to hear from you.
Adrian Hughes
you should really set up a discord. i’d review this
Robert Ward
Main problem to me is there is little personality since the vocabulary source comes from PIE, looking like a real language in terms of word banks, but lacking the complexity of organic languages. Sort of like Esperanto.
For a personal language I'd just roll with whatever sounds good to me within my favorite sound palette, but for a group project it's hard to think of unifying interests. Maybe doing words based on board memes, who knows.
Regardless, for the sake of clearness, I suggest adding some examples of similar-sounding words for the letter examples. Bb - Sup Forums, as in banana (English), abuela (Spanish) Zz - /IPA/, as S in closure (English), J in Jiló (Portuguese), zh in Russian...
Xavier Lee
make a discord
Aiden Clark
this has been tried several times and always fails
the language is made so Sup Forums users can learn it relatively quickly and use it among themselves
artlangs like what you're talking about usually end up gathering dust and nobody uses them
Anthony Hughes
I'm not advocating for complexity or art - in fact, practicality would be nice for widespread usage -, just for charisma.
I don't see a personality in the language, it looks like a pre-existing one. It could be simple but still fun/different with the right approach, but as it stands it's like some Slavs decided to further fiddle with Romanian, and here's where I think having a motivating aspect to the language takes place. Then again, I dunno what random Sup Forumsfags think about it, maybe I'm the only one nitpicking.
Thomas Howard
if int fags were interested in learning a conlang it definitely wouldn’t be this. it’d be something like Toki Pona, a language so easy youd have to try to make it hard
Joseph Watson
Toki Pona is a shit language invented by a SJW cunt
Aiden Brooks
Toki Pona is the Fisher Price of language learning, kill yourself.
Carter Torres
Sounds like Lithuanian, desu
Lucas Gonzalez
Oh... So /lang/ already has one conlang? As expected. I tried to do one thread about it one week ago and failed lel
Colton Stewart
So... Where can I learn it?
Jacob Ward
We should use the word Todhestu instead of Amen. Todhestu is a PIE word which has a similar meaning to amen.
