Actually though, I'm curious how you guys work on your conlangs? (Can...can was call them langs for short <.<)
I mean do you start with imagining words and picking what you want them to mean, or dive into grammar rules, or structure, or something else? I guess script/letters is another place to start?
I'm not super knowledgeable about linguistics (although I'm very interested) and I know there are some really smart people on here so I wonder how your understanding of languages changes what you think about as well.
(this is to test a potential bug, but while we're at it, has anyone seen any cool conlangs lately? >.>)

(sorry for bad image quality ;-;)
I'll start with my most flushed out one:
Aliki: 581 words (363 nouns, 102 verbs, 14 spells (as in magic spells.. which are technically compounds of existing words), 44 grammar thingies (particles, markers, verb modifiers, etc. the boring stuff), 38 Adverbs and Adjectives, and 20 random things for the fun of it (most are just random sayings and proverbs)
I should probably get those ones sorted sometime...
how've you all been? any new conlangs in the works? :eyes:

also renamed minapet to nimatep after seeing where the sounds mapped on the IPA chart... since k is more similar to t than to p, and g more similar to p than to t... okay that was a bad explanation xD
anyways CWS is very cool
