[Eccentric Iconoclast--I hope you don't mind, but I thought this didn't quite fit in with Rules/Guidelines or Welcome, so I'm posting it as its own sticky.]

As if the title didn't say it all...
Does anyone have suggestions for the guild/forum?


The Suggestions (I'll try to update this list whenever there is new stuff)

=Pre existing Conlang subforum
=Conlang Help subforum

=Conlang GD in its own subforum--for speaking the languages themselves
=Conlang RP
+Banner (in progress)
+General Linguistics Information Thread (for the reference of those of us who don't know the terms so well) (in progress)

I like that idea!

So if I'm understanding this correctly, we would have two subforums, one for listing information about our conlangs (mostly it would just be the creators of each language posting about them), and then another one with a thread for each language, like "Axi Discussion," "Aquénandi Discussion," etc. (kind of like they have at the FLG with natural languages like Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.), where we could try conversing in the languages, or maybe asking about certain aspects of the language, asking the language's creator how to say certain things (i.e. requesting certain words that haven't been coined yet), and things of that nature?

Yeah, I like this idea too.

It's got potential for helping people in developing their conlangs.

Well...a lot of people here seem to make a conculture with their conlanguage, so why not have a conculture RP? Like, the setting is in a conculture and we have to speak in the conlangauge. Sound good?

That's a good idea. And we can have a few to where some of them possibly meet different ones if it is possible in anyway...

How about an all-around RP where ALL of the concultures are united into one world and when you go to different places in the world you have to speak the language? xD

I actually have a map of the planet on which the Aquenninim dwell. They're not the only ones there, though, by a long shot...their language has developped with help from the Mazdrivonyurnim, for example. The Mazdrivonii language's influence has given Aquenandi a bit of a Slavic sound.

I usually don't mention the Mazdrivonyam, however, even though they have a cool culture (and language) of their own.

I would like to make a banner and I was thinking of having the name of everyones language in their language. The only problem is I don't have a very good art program (and can't afford one) and I need some kind of background to use that would work for all of them...

Erm...there is just one problem with that. My conculture is already melded into a conuniverse. All of my langauges and cultures are from this universe, so none of them could be fitted into another place. It just wouldn't work.

Ditto, but maybe we could do this for individual languages as well, so that if yours has this case, we could do this and you have yours as well? I don't know...

That sounds great biggrin

Maybe we could each make image files for it, and you collect and put together?
