noviceconlangersHi, I'm Lyn, and this whole thing is entirely new to me.
By "entirely new..." I have a degree in English, I majored in English in High School, and somehow I got through that WHOLE THING without learning a damn thing about grammar or language structure. Yes, including 4 years of French and 2 semester of Spanish. No, I can't explain it either.
So I'm going to be blank-staring a lot, and trying hard to understand things. At some point I may cry and ask someone to call me on the phone, because I learn a lot better by speaking/listening than reading. But um, don't feel obligated there.
(Note to self: making intro posts while In a Mood not all that helpful).
The language I am pondering creating belongs to my Reiassan setting, to the northern people, the Callanthe. Current plan is to start with the goat(*)-nomads that became, after 2-3 iterations, the Callanthe nobility. I may side-long create some of the other nation on the continent, the Bitrani, to allow for loan-words.
I have ~10 words of their language made up. I may have to scrap/redo some of that as I made it up on the fly.
