Ĉu ekzistas aktivaj esperantistoj ĉi tie? Aŭ tokiponistoj? Mi ankaŭ ŝatas la klingonan kaj Elefenon. Mi ne ofte uzas Mastodon la lastaj jaroj, sed mi povus uzi ĝin, eble. Mi nun uzas Bluĉielon.
Interessante Untersuchung zu Conlangs (konstruierten Sprachen) aus Filmen wie „Avatar“, „Game of Thrones“ oder „Star Trek“: Sprecherinnen aus verschiedenen Regionen auf der Welt sollten sich die unterschiedlichen Sprachen anhören und entscheiden, wie schön sie sie finden. Das Ergebnis: Sprachen, die so konstruiert waren, dass man sie positiv assoziiert, erzielten diese Wirkung auch – und umgekehrt. 1/3
are there any optimised languages? i mean, so that the language has as few phonemes and words as possible, words and sentences are shortest, but it remains audibly well comprehensive and can express all needed conceptions without overcomplications. i know, esperanto toki pona and lojban are pretty far from that description, and i dont know about any project pursuing similar purposes

Bon, c'est 2025 et il est temps pour une #introduction plus actuelle !
Moi c'est Rhéa
Je suis une meuf #trans #autiste et #tdah qui vit en Bretagne, à Nantes !
Mes passions:
- la #linguistique, surtout la #sociolinguistique et les #conlangs
- les #langues, particulièrement les langues minorisées ou en revitalisation
Je parle d'ailleurs #English, #Deutsch, #brezhoneg (enfin j'apprend :p), et j'aimerais apprendre le #poitevin aussi quand je pourrais :>
- la musique #electro, les synthés, les courbes, les boutons, les niveaux qui sautent, ...
Je ne peux pas vivre sans créer des trucs... Genre #dessin, #ecriture, #worldbuilding... J'ai même un univers collaboratif en cours avec deux chèr-es ami-es.
J'ai récemment quitté tout les réseaux pour ne rester que sur Tumblr et le #fediverse, je regrette pas du tout. Ça fait énormément de bien et je veux maintenant découvrir d'autres manières de militer contre ce foutu #capitalisme et #fascisme.
Et voilà, c'est tout pour moi ! (enfin je m'abstiens surtout de rendre ce post beaucoup trop long et chaotique :'3)
Hey #conlang enthusiasts, I've got a student who wants to do a senior honours project on the perception of the phonology of #conlangs. He needs speakers of #Dothraki, #Dovahzul, and #Na'vi to record some stimuli. If you've ever played around with learning these languages, and would be interested in recording yourself producing sentences for my student to use in an experiment, please respond here, pm me, make contact in some way!
Boosts welcome!

Hi! I'm Muna, a Brazilian fella who's obsessed with #ttrpg #boardgames #worldbuilding #conlangs #mythology #tcg (mostly LoR and Altered) and more.

Studying #linguistics and #languagelearning (I'm actually a #languagelearner studying Libras and just started #mandarin )
+ I'm #actuallyautistic so i may talk a bit about #autism here
I'm a queer leftie so BEWARE
Lots of love for y'all!!
Mark Rosenfelder's 'Syntax Construction Kit' is an accessible introduction to some pretty difficult linguistics. If you want to get started with conlanging you should get his other books, but if you've been wondering what Noam Chomsky is famous for, this is the one!

Why is #Klingon the only #language that seems to bypass universal translators? For that matter, how does #codeswitching work when using universal translators? And why do everyone's lips move as if they're speaking #English?
It's now been about 2 years that the #TokiPona community has been trying to translate #mastodon
We still can't do it because @Gargron is only human around who is capable of adding new translation targets.
The task would take about 5 minutes to complete, but we've been waiting 2 years.
Can you all #PleaseBoost this post and maybe we can get it in front of his eyes, since no one in the mastodon project actually checks the issue page?

Here is a good link to the Lingua Franca Nova (Elefen) grammar page. You can choose your primary language (if it has been translated) to read and learn the language structure.

Joia!
Lingua Franca Nova (or #elefen )
Here is a link to tell you what it is all about.

One can see that there is not that much difference in either version so it is workable either way. For me, at least, it establishes a relation with the sentence structure of other #auxlangs #conlangs. #idoelefen

#introduction Hi! I'm cobweb. I'm a #devops engineer, into #debian #linux, and like #networking and stuff. In my free time I enjoy #TTRPGs #magicthegathering #drawing, #worldbuilding and #conlangs. I'm also a #parent, #neurodiverse and #genx
Whew I think that's enough hashtags for now.
I see there is one Mastodon instance specifically for #esperanto , but are there any instances for conlangs in general?

I am a nerdy fan of #anime #manga video games #conlangs #languages old web #history. Currently am into #GenshinImpact and especially Scaramouche.
I post in Finnish and English for the most part. Warning that my life is very difficult rn as I am struggling with depression and loneliness so I might vent in my posts.
And if you want to make friends with me, I'd love to.
