[CULTURE] How did your language develop? Did it form in isolation, or through migration or colonization? What purpose did/does it serve? Is it a creole, a common tongue for trading, a language of scholars or elites, a peasant vernacular?

[GRAMMAR/VOCAB] Let's talk about NOUNS - i.e. people, creatures, places, objects & concepts.
Do you have "compound nouns" in your conlang - e.g. streetlight, ice cube, wallpaper? What about prefixes & suffixes that alter meaning - e.g. "EX-wife, singER"
Try to come up with a few examples!

[GRAMMAR] When forming a sentence in your conlang, what's the typical word order?
For example, is it [Subject][Verb][Object], or [Verb][Subject][Object]? Another variation?
Do descriptors like adjectives usually come before or after the words they describe?

![Additional card with “HELPFUL TIPS,” light yellow text over the same background as the main prompt.
In grammar, the SUBJECT is the thing the sentence is about, the VERB is the action, and the OBJECT is the noun the action is happening to.
[Sub][Verb][Obj]
Steve pets the cat.
That's how we say it in English, but maybe in your conlang it might go:
[Verb][Obj][Sub]
Pets the cat Steve.
---------------
In English, adjectives usually come before the nouns they describe:
The orange cat
But in some languages, the adjective often comes after the noun:
El gato naranja
So think about mixing it up!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:br2rslmo7elrd3hp5dfsx3ye/bafkreiecsk6hiwwxjkfwyodnthjdzdhxrioq4lodcfr7mpanzzil2mztb4)
