Ok, this is absolutely, positively the FINAL version of the new Conlangery album art. I have tinkered with this thing enough and I’m afraid that if I do anything more to it I will simply screw it up beyond repair. Unless I decide again to completely change the aesthetic a year from now, or I get a professional artist to put a few touches to it, this is what the album art will look like from here on in. You can see the earlier iterations here. So, now for a run down of the languages depicted, from left-to right, top to bottom:
- Itlani: sitsholenú (construct-language-thing-plural)
- Ayeri: Narānacan (literally na-rā-na-tya-n) /naˈraːnaʧan/ narān (‘language’ + -ati ‘AGTZ’ + -an ‘NMLZ’)
- Kamakawi: kalaka’ala’ile (“making language live”)
- Himmaswa: Kangwauswa’iap /kaŋ.wɔ̰.swa.iə̯p̚/
- Ancaron: Sidanaspotcor[ʃɪˈdanasˈpotkoɚ] si-create-language (“Related to conlangs”)
- South Eresian: p’eloniryos (“abstract quality of creating languages”)
- Sindarin (translated by Roman Rausch): lamgar (lam “language” + car “do, make”)
- Klai: [pˡəːsa̰ː ɟlĩək̚ sʉð̞]
That’s it, no more fiddling with the damn album art. I’m done with it. You can still submit your scripts (translate “Conlangery”, interpretively or phonetically, and send a black-and-white image to conlangery@gmail.com), but all additional scripts I recieve will appear in the random header you see at the top (if you refresh a few times, you’ll see you get a different conlang every time). I will see if I can work up a page or something to tell people what languages all those headers are sometime in the future. In the meantime, I need a nap. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
