Tyryani

Tyryani is an a priori naturalistic conlang spoken in the world of Achaan. It is a stress-timed palatalizing topic-comment language with differential object marking, a large case system, a perfective/imperfective verbal distinction, and converbs. It was spoken during the height of the Tyrian Empire. It is my most developed conlang yet, with thousands of words in its vocabulary, a very developed grammar, and a few sample texts.

Dorini

Dorini is an a priori naturalistic conlang spoken in the world of Achaan. It is a mora-timed CV agglutinative language with evidentiality, multiple topic particles, retroflex harmony, a dual number, and clusivity. It is spoken currently in Dor and the Dorian colonies. Dorini is my second most developed a priori conlang, with over a thousand words in its vocabulary, many sample texts, and a fairly comprehensive grammar.

Paresi

Paresi is an a posteriori naturalistic conlang spoken in an alternate timeline where Justinian did not put down the 532 Nika Riots. The Byzantine Empire therefore collapsed early, and a Levantine-Egyptian-North African state was created. This eventually led to a Coptic, Greek, Punic and Arabic-influenced African Romance language related to Sardinian becoming the predominant language in most of North Africa and the Levant. Paresi is my most developed a posteriori conlang, with a few sample texts, an easily derivable vocabulary, and a reference grammar.

Chaani

Chaani is an a priori naturalistic conlang spoken in the world of Achaan. It was the first conlang I ever created; however, I later decided to make its protolang first – Tyryani. I have not gotten around to remaking Chaani from Tyryani just yet, but I do know a few things about it that I will definitely keep! It will be a polypersonal noun-incorporating language with a small case system, a strong animacy hierarchy, prenasalized stops, dental fricatives, and archiphonemic /g/.

TBD

Kitsomba

Kitsomba is an a posteriori naturalistic conlang spoken in an alternate timeline where the voyages of Zheng He were not sidelined and China continued to have an influential trading connection with East Africa up through modern times. The word kitsomba is formed from "ki-", a Bantu class prefix, and "tsomba" which developed from "cong-ba", the Old Chinese name for Zanzibar. Kitsomba is still in the planning stages and is not very developed.

TBD

Maraci

Maraci is an a priori language spoken in the world of Achaan. Maraci has very different typology than other Achaani languages surrounding it – it is a semi-isolating language with a large array of syllabic fricatives, a complex vowel harmony system, consonant gradation, and a Malagasy-like alignment and voice system. It is not very developed.

Poçenho

Poçenho is an a posteriori naturalistic conlang spoken in future Argentina, Uruguay, and parts of Brazil. It is an estimate of what Rioplatenese Spanish could look like in the future if it develops into its own distinct language. It is very developed, but that is mostly because it is easily derivable from Spanish.

TBD

The Little Alchlang

The Little Alchlang is an a priori NON-NATURALISTIC engelang developed for fun out of a simple premise: what if Little Alchemy was a language? What if you could speak in fire, earth, water, and air, and have a functional conversation? This is what the Little Alchlang tries to accomplish.

Eynwis

Eynwis is an a posteriori naturalistic conlang spoken as the future standard 'American' English language. It is an estimate of what English could look like in a few centuries. It developed out of a combination of multiple current American English dialects, notably 'General American', Californian, and Southern English.
