Despite US politics being a total clusterfuck, this is an incredible development. It will be the first time anyone under the age 54 will have been alive to see a Lunar mission. Part of the spacecraft was also built by the European Space Agency. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I cut, polished, and set this piece of chrysoprase. It’s set in sterling silver. Lapidary work was some of my favorite part of my jewelry work last year.

It's Independent Bookstore Day, so remember that red states are pushing bills that would force booksellers to cover displays related to pride, hide books like "1984" and effectively ban "Banned Book" sections — all under the guise of protecting minors from "pornography" www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
Headline from Houston Chronicle: 

"Book bans aren't stopping at libraries-now Texas is targeting bookstores"

"A new bill introduced in the Texas Legislature is the latest in a crackdown on nudity or explicit content in books."

I have a couple students who are linguistics students in my French courses. I love them, but I’m also very, very biased.

I think it is because /ʒ/ is coded as a “more foreign sound” due to its relatively recent entry into the language and its prevalence in French words that have been borrowed in.

In Rílin, you’d use the anti-passive to make the patient into an oblique. This implies a kind of half-assed or failed attempt.

I had a really interesting interview today during which I spoke about LCC 11 and specifically, the conlang relay. We have three rings this year: conscript, poetry, and prose. If you’re attending the LCC 11, be sure to check out the relay results! #conlang #lcc11

I found a few notebooks I thought I’d lost years ago! They have many conlang notes and such inside. A real treasure for me, who thought an entire syllabary was lost to time. I have it back now.

Idk if it counts as 90s style but Aeniith.com is my main personal conlang site
aeniith.com
Aeniith Web - Home
The constructed world of Aeniith is an ongoing project by me, Margaret Ransdell-Green. The site was designed by my husband, Eric Barker. On this site you can read about the humanoid species that inhabit this world, their cultures and histories, and their languages. The language aspect of the site is one of the most prominent, as linguistics is something I have been studying extensively for the past few years. I’ve been creating conlangs (constructed languages) since around 1998-9 and this is one of my primary passions. I’ve also been doing conlanging professionally in recent times as well.

My sister did something like this with initial sp-, which become [f]. But for only a brief moment of her development. She also used f- to say "tomato", which was ['feɪɾoʊ].

What semantic domain should work on next in Rílin? Rílin has around 3000 words. I *know* there are gaps that I am not seeing. #conlang

Méí is like bright yellow. Lhutûí is any yellowish or olive green. Vatóí I define as jade green but it’s like any bold green from jade to forest. Kamí are basically teals and blues.

mintakaglow.bsky.social @mintakaglow.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
In Rílin, the far left is méí, the one next to that is lhutûí, then vatóí and after that they’re all kamí.

Since I am not sure how the alt image works with regard to IPA, I will give the IPA here: [ˈʃydap̚ ʌˈtʌse ˈbaʃo ˈlɔnu ko ˈfɛtla] Morpheme breakdown: ʃy- : non-pres ‘be’ -d- : past tense -ap : 3s ʌˈtʌse : successful ˈbaʃo : only ko : locative lonu : third fet : occasion la : instrumental

This sentence was pretty straightforward to translate. The word for “successful” here comes from the word for “deed, act”, ûtû, plus an adjectival suffix.
A sentence in Rílin: shydap ûtûsé bashó kó lonu fetla, meaning “it wasn’t until the third attempt that he was successful”

Other sentences are written originally in Rílin and translated into English. I write them by hand because this is the simplest way for me.

Rílin is a split ergative language that uses VSO word order and has largely agglutinative morphology. I’ll show a few examples of my mini-translations. They are all sentences taken from real-life things I have read or heard, with a few modifications.
