first conlang is worst conlang!
For those of us who have no shame, I invite you to post the worst nooblang you've made here. (It doesn't have to be your first, but I also am not looking for jokelangs... I'm looking for terrible conlangs you created because you didn't know any better.)
My first conlang was called Qoqqkyuk (pronounced roughly like /kɔxjʌk/), meant to be spoken by a people (the Qoqq) of Qoqqoph. This is odd because the letters <q y> were never written in the language. The phonology was roughly Standard Fantasy Language:
/p t k b d g/ <p t k b d g>
/f v θ ð s z ʃ ʒ h/ <f v ť ď s z š ž h>
/m n ŋ l kː x/ <m n ñ l k' k''>
/æ ɛ e ɪ i ɔ o ʌ u/ <a e ê i î o ô u û>
I seem to have lost most of my inflectional notes (good riddance), but what I can come up with is this: a three-person two-number verb inflection system (obviously taken from Latin) with a constant -VC suffix, where the vowel of the suffix changed for person, the voicing of the consonant changed for number, and the POA changed for tense.
Qoqqkyuk had a base sixteen number system, but I can't seem to anything past ten, so... eat your heart out, Janko:
I also have a couple words: žak "day", kalôt "night", aŋûl "beginning", ôle "love", û "have", loďe "happy", žû "in".
