noviceconlangersMy name is Anke, and I've been dabbling and not getting much anywhere for a while.
My native language is German and I think I'm doing OK when it comes to English. I've also had 7 years of Latin lessons, most of which I've forgotten; 2 years of French, during which we did not even finish the first year's book, ditto; and a semester of Japanese during which I learned hardly anything. And I've got a habit of picking up random factoids, including about languages.
I'm a bit of a programmer, e.g. I got a little javascript thingy that prints all syllables that can be formed according to the rules thatbecka_sutton posted in her journal, and I'm trying to figure out how to show and explain that so that other people can adapt that for their languages, even without programming experience.
My conlanging project is a language for a fantasy setting, the native language of a character from ny NaNoWriMo project this year. I have hardly anything done, and what I've done only on loose leaf, so I guess if we really go with weekls-or-so themes based on the construction kit, I can take things in order. ;)
One thing I'm wondering ahead of time is if the character names should have meanings taken from that language (or, well, retroactively assigned meaning to them), or not. What do you think?
