[22:48:07] <Anguipes> that is a stupid idea
[22:48:08] <Anguipes> do it

Okay.

Have you ever wanted to talk shit about someone in their own conlang? Have you ever wanted to see somebody else take even passing interest in your language? Have you ever been a silly bugger? THEN THIS THREAD IS FOR YOU!

The idea is simple. You talk, except in another person's conlang. Ideally, this will be fun and beneficial for everyone involved. More likely nobody will care. In the event that people do, there are a few guidelines you should follow:

1. Use only conlangs whose creators are okay with this. A surprisingly large amount of people is p protective of their work and we don't want to spoil this so assume people aren't okay with it. Those who are can make a post in this thread to indicate this. Initially, that means that at least Rhetorica's and my conlangs are fair game.

2. If the description lacks a way to say something, you are very encouraged make it up. This way, the people whose conlangs are being abused gain at least the benefit of other people's ideas.

2b. To facilitate this, glossing is also encouraged.

That is all. Happy being silly!

Mi credas ke la sola lingua kiu uzatos en tia fadeno estas la Esperanto terurata.
I think the only language that will be used in this thread is the dreaded Esperanto.

Il ulase dy soa Sfahe otál imlelme. Suzanai pav soe Sfahe prokena šatru soem sfahem Zompistei kiam fuai imfát.
It is possible that Verdurian will also appear. I remember a bit of Verdurian because I liked Zompist's languages when I was a child.

<guitarplayer> also, i wonder if i should give permission to use ayeri in the Speak in Sobody Else's Conlang thread?
<guitarplayer> i wish the documentation weren't all over the place
<H13> guitarplayer, that is part of the fun

Alrighty!

Sa kilavāng eryyam Ayeri.
PT be.allowed-2SG.A use-PTCP (T=)Ayeri
'You may use Ayeri.'

There's a bunch of documentation here, here and here. I also usually gloss my translations on my site, so you can extract some information from those, too. Kudos to you if you actually manage to compose something meaningful. Extra kudos if you can transcribe it into the script.

Jei Aluohein! Faqal! (Imperial Salanjan)
Oh gods! My eyes!

(Actually, that was pretty good—although you glossed it obtusely; the first word is actually 'this'. The -ivé construction is prototypically reserved for adjectives, but for various circular reasons involving a chain of null-reducing suffices you can technically use it with a noun too. I'd still probably say "Lilitikas vis" myself, though.)

If a word doesn't exist, you can make it up.
