Bugs, Requests, and Changes (2014-09-08 22:59:54) :
Ampersands are evil. Something double-parses them. I've changed the best-link logic to fall back to id numbers only if one is found.

The Map Thread (2014-09-08 22:52:01) :
Admittedly, it's pretty rough. But yeah. If someone ion the far distant future wants help setting up a similar fancy globe thing, I kinda know a bit about how to do it. You need a map in an equilinear (i.e. boring) projection for it to work.

I have finally written down some grammar on here. (2014-09-08 22:49:31) :
Personally, I'd consider putting it up above the syntax, so people can actually tell what they're getting into. Y'know, like [i]every grammar ever[/i]. But it's a great win, in my opinion!
Also, you may want to consider adding examples for the morphology. The Lilitika grammar used to be (and still somewhat is) a similarly terse list of affixes, and as I've massaged it into being more legible I've found lots of times where I've wondered "how do I say that?" or "when would I really use th...

Somehow this seems like it would be better off in the happiness thread. Because Portal is definitely a happiness-related subject.

Late night verbal TAME thoughts (2014-09-08 07:12:07) :
I think we'd need to see a concrete rendition of this before much useful feedback could be presented. Am I wrong to think that the narrative past will be a bit dull without an imperfective? Or did I parse that incorrectly?

raàyepèye Syllabary Thread (2014-09-08 07:07:57) :
Looking at it again... the original block forms might be okay if chiselled or carved into wax. You'd really just need an intermediary handwritten form. Look at how Georgian evolved, maybe? The liturgical form (Nuskhuri) is quite pleasant.

That's really fluid too! I'm pretty impressed, H13.
[quote Matrix]How do you think these languages of mine sound?[/quote]
Sumptlondonsk is definitely Dano-Norsk. Your cadences on Nahakhontl and Hurga ker Maja go straight into the giggle-zone and inspire imagery of vanting to suck blad. I might suggest trying to massage that a little, unless you were trying to engineer the trendy accent of a pretentious merchant or something.

Oh, speaking of maps... I did something a few months ago that I guess I never shared anywhere. Ladies and gentlemen, behold, [http://memory.rhetori.ca/globe/Apps/HelloWorld.html|a rough sketch of Thessia Major]. (I have actual borders for the countries and locations for several cities, and an actual map of the transit network in one city, but those'll come... y'know, whenever I get back to that project.)

Pretty Scripties Showcase Thread (2014-09-08 06:58:15) :
I think I'm going to agree with Nessari that there are some strokes in there that just wouldn't gel right when written by hand. It's neat and cool to have those forms typographically, but if you ever do a handwritten script, you'll absolutely need to get back to basics and try flipping a few of the characters. (It happens! It totally happens!) Otherwise, I like how it reminds me of Asomtavruli without being offensive in any way.

Exploring Classical Quazian Morphosyntax with Example Sentences (2014-09-08 06:54:47) :
The numbers are a little clunky, admittedly, but hey, THEY'RE NOT WORSE THAN SLAPSHIRUCKISH, so you can't exactly be too upset there. Though it does make me wonder how you'd read off a serial number without accidentally mixing the numbers up...
Also, do you have any plans for a word meaning 'zero'?
Also also, I find it curious how five isn't used in the definition of six. (I think I called this "base-eleven thinking in a base-ten system" once when I was younger.)

I have finally written down some grammar on here. (2014-09-08 06:49:07) :
It's kind of crazy how you jumped straight into syntax—were you ever going to give us morphology?
Overall, the word order choices seem pretty reasonable... the way your interrogative syntax is presented reminds me of how the punctuation mark "¿" was invented: to make it more obvious that a sentence was a question before you got to the end of it because the grammar gave no clues. (And this apparently required rearranging the sentence's meaning? I don't know enough about Spanish to commen...
