What, you've been waiting all this time?
(I didn't figure there was much interest, all in all.)

I was just waiting.

Here is something you may be interested in.
And/or
this.
Maybe (but probably not)
this.
Ive also heard rumors of a sci-lang newsgroup on Usenet, but Ive not looked for it yet.

Thank you, thank you.
I've been meaning to join the Elgin newsletter but haven't gotten 'round to it yet. I did join the Conlang mailing list and have registered at some conlang wikis here and there. (The mailing list is REALLY active. I rarely get through all the messages.)
The "FH language and linguistics" page is a mirror of the WP article by the same title.
(And I take the subtle hint.
)

No subtle hints. Just a "gee-whiz, Mr. Wilson!"

Oh hurry up. I think Arrakeen will be open before we see this language thing you're working on.

"Kiss my arse"?
I think I have a flair for languages.

Dahlink, how could you NOT have flair.

Is that a Greek joke?

I just reread your post. I thought you said that he had a flair for languages and I didn't know what that meant. But that is not what you said. You said he had flair. Sorry.

Owh. OK.
Nope. Was just teasing him (again).
I mean, how could someone be FABULOUS 24/7/52 and NOT have flair.

I'd only give myself a 6 on the fab scale, I just can't bring myself to camp it up.
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:56 pm
by SandChigger
A six, huh?
So how does that translate temporally?
Are you fabulous 14:24 hours each day? Or 4.2 days each week? Or 31.2 weeks per year, perhaps?
How does that work, exactly?
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:34 am
by chanilover
It's not an exact science, it's more like a continuum, with your position varying on any given day.

Fabulous answer!
UPDATE

by SandChigger
Righto...
Thing isn't dead yet (meaning this thing, not the Canadian Guy With The Long Username Commonly Known As Thang); I've been plunking along with it now and then, and I've added a new subdomain on my website for some stuff later, but I'm kinda wondering what to do with it.
Spent a goodly portion of yesterday taking stock, and I'm not happy; doesn't have an organic feel to it, wondering about chucking it all and starting over.
Is anyone else more than mildly interested?
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:28 pm
by Omphalos
Still am interested for sure, but waiting for some direction from you. I even started reading Aliens and Linguistics to help.

Okee-dokee. I'll try to organize some "food for thought" tomorrow and over the weekend.

A Roma character in Tim Powers'
Anubis Gates spoke this way. Is this some pig-latin type of thing?
Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:02 pm
by SandChigger
Hain't read that, but I think I remember you reviewing or at least talking about it before.
Pig-Latin?! How RUDE.
Nah, that's just a wee taste of Solstic (or Soltok or Sysspeak or whatever you will—they won't call it Proto-Galach for a LONG time
), which is still evolving and trying to find a happy orthography....
Any idears?

That's like reading a Pansyass post. All that's missing is twenty pictures of Che in frilly knickers.
