Name: The Elven Language (Imaginative, I know)
Native Name: Llorkëla /ˌɬoɾ.'kʼé.la/
Native Short Name: N/A

A Priori or Posteriori?: A Priori
Isolate or in a Family?: Llorësan family (dragon languages)
Inherited Language Features: Palatal laterals, ejectives, some vowel devoicing

How Many Numbers?: 4
Which Numbers?: Singular, dual, trial, plural

Native Script: Yes, though it is the only written Llorësan language.
Romanised?: Yes. The only diacritic is the diaresis, which indicates high tone. Why did I use the diaresis instead of the macron like Pinyin? Because a macron doesn't look Elvish.

Predominant Affix Type: Some prefixes, some suffixes, but no infixes here.
Variable or Absolute Suffixes?: Some amount of variance is planned.

Morphosyntactic Alignment: Tripartite (because I can)
Primary Word Order: SOV
Alternate Word Order: VSO (when using passive/antipassive)
Head Position: Don't know yet. I'm thinking it'll be more head-initial.
Language Type: This is the agglutinating black sheep; the other dragon languages are polysynthetic.

Different Registers?: Yes.
Amount of Registers: 3
Types of Registers: Formal/informal/dragon
How Are They Formed: Different syntax and lexical items.

Declined?: Yes.
Conjugated? Yes.

Amount of Phonemes: 29
How Many in Each Class?: 23 Consonants, 4 vowels, 2 semivowels
Basic Syllable Structure: (C)V
Significant Sound Changes?: Yes
Which (if any)?: /i/ -> /j/ for ia, ie, io

Tonality?: Yes
Amount of Tones: 2 tones: high/low
Phonemic Stress?: Yes (may change as I work the tonal system)
Amounts of Stress: Primary/secondary
Stress Position: usually initial, often final, occasionally penultimate

Affixes or (P)articles?: Mostly affixes, some particles.
Cases?: Yes.
Amount of Cases: Final number TBD, but currently
What Are They? Decided: Subject, agent, patient; locative, ablative, allative; genitive, possessive, dative, benefactive. Undecided: vocative, malafactive

Verb Categories: TAM Trifecta, but more aspect-obsessed.
Amount for Each Category: 4 tenses (distant past, recent past, present, future), TBD aspects (not a good sign for an aspect-obsessed language), TBD moods (definitely going to have optative and desiderative, but I'm thinking about jussive as well)
How Are They Formed?: Affixes.

Pronouns?: Yes.
How many Persons?: currently 3
Genders?: Masculine, feminine, dragon (m/f subgenders), other living things (animate), non-living things (inanimate)
Clusitivity?: Gender-inclusive or -nonspecific pronouns take feminine marking and agreement.

Adjectives Agree with Nouns?: Yes.
Where, if at all?: TBD

Honorifics?: Yes.
Dependant on: Species-based caste system for dragons, and elves are treated separately with their own class-based system.
Included How?: Mostly affixes.

Compounds and Derivations Frequency: TBD
Methods of Compounding:TBD
Methods of Derivation:TBD

Purpose of Conlang: Primarily an artlang; secondarily an engelang (I guess). I wanted to create an elvish language that was not influenced as much by Celtic languages, and I wanted to develop it from a dragon language, which I guess would also qualify as an engelang since I wanted to try and look at the physiological limitations on speech that they would have had. This is why Llorkxëla has no labiodentals.
Interesting Features?: Some evidentials are related to fire. In the original Proto-Llorësan, a jet of fire was a direct evidential, and a puff of smoke was a hearsay evidential. In Llorkxëla, those have become /xo̥/ and /ɸo̥/ respectively.
Problems?: It's currently just a sketch. But my biggest problem is going to be creating something other than Hra'anh. I've spent so much time on that language that it's the only thing running through my head. I'll also have problems working on tone. Well, time to study some native North American languages.

Blood is the essence of the heart,
and Music is the wound.
Blood is the essence of our life,
stored in our heart,
pierced by the song.
And it is pain that frees our blood
to bleed and drip and run,
to live outside the confinement of our hearts,
and to stain the garments of our world.

Music is the pain that frees our lives to bleed.

I've almost reached my goal of translating this into all my current projects.  Lashel is taking forever so I don't have that one yet, but here are the others, done right this time.  To make up for my failure to do much of anything for quite some time, I've added pronunciation and glosses, with a couple dialect bonuses.  Enjoy!


All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Theme: to create a regal, Asari-like language with the orthography based off of Asari place names and proper names, and the grammar based off of what I feel fits a race such as the Asari.  For example:  All Asari are inherently female, even though gender does not necessarily mean anything to them, so their langauge does not distinguish between natural gender.  So technically Neuter = Feminine, even though there is no Masculine to distinguish it.


I know this might seem like a fairly standard language, but I felt like that was the best fit for the Asari.  I plan to branch out into more experimental language types with the other ME races.

Prologue

       It has been months ever since that fateful day. After that incident, I truly regret killing my only best friend, the one who made me feel joy and happiness. And now, the whole town knows about this and I am feared by them. Some townsfolk were sent here to search for me. I knew this place isn't safe anymore. I need to move out from this place. I must find a new home.

       Greetings child, I go by many names. Der rifer, Grosse Man, Tall Man, those are my names and I am known for them. But there is only one name that you might be able to recognize me, Slenderman.

       I move out from the forest as quickly as my legs can. I have been moving place after place; I've climbed up mountains and walk through different places. Ever since I moved out, I've trusted on my instincts just to survive. I've learned that every forest has a town nearby, and that is not the kind of home I wanted. I fear that incident might happen again. I must keep distance from those greedy humans. I need to go further. Until I reached a town, a ghost town to be exact, with no humans running around, a town full of fog, a silent and peaceful place. I knew that this was the perfect place to live in. I read the sign before me:

       "Welcome to Silent Hill" The sign says.

Note before you start: This quiz is also kind of a joke, so please don’t take it too seriously.

#1: Have you watched at least five animes?

#2: How about ten?

#3: How about twenty?

#4: Would you date somebody if they looked like an anime character you have a crush on?

#5: Have you ever been to an anime convention?

#6: Do you think it’s evil when they dub an anime in another language?

#7: Have you ever had anime themed wallpaper on your computer?

#8: Would you play a video game based on an anime?

#9: Have you ever bought anime merchandise?

#10: Would you start a flame war if someone didn’t like your favourite anime?

#11: Have you ever download an anime because you couldn’t wait for one of your
local TV networks to pick it up?

#12: Have you ever written a fanfic based on an anime?

#13: Have you ever drawn any fanart based on an anime?

#14: Do you hate 4kids entertainment?

#15: Would you sell out your own country to the Japanese?

#16: Do you say random Japanese words in your sentences?

#17: Would you ever join a debate on who would win in a verses form involving an anime character?

#18: Would you spend money you don’t have on anime merchandise?

#19: Would you e-beg for money to buy anime merchandise?

#20: Are you always looking for new Anime to watch?

So how did you do: Add up how many yes’s you said and then see how you rank:

0: Do you even know what Anime is? You probably don’t even know what country it’s from. Go download a Japanese cartoon before you take this test again.

1-3: Looks like you’re starting to become an anime fan, or an Otaku. Keep watching some more and you should feel like one soon.

4-6: Your getting closer to the Otaku level. You’re also far from the Weeaboo level, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be careful about turning into a Weeaboo.

7-9: You’re a basic anime fan, nothing wrong with that. But just be careful that it doesn’t turn into a serious obsession.

10-12: You are a diehard Otaku. Anime has to be a hobby of yours, let’s hope that it stays that way.

13-15: Wow, you must really like anime. Just make sure you don’t go overboard because you are kind of close to the Weeaboo level.

16-19: Ok, you’re just one step away from crossing the Weeaboo line, just remember that there’s more to life than anime.

20: You are a hopeless Weeaboo. You need to understand that Japan is not fond of obsessive anime fans. My advice, take a break from anime and use that time to think about your life.
