Conlangery has some new stuff. I wanted to move away from the conlang flag design and come up with something a little more unique for our logo-type stuff, so I solicited some conlanging communities for translations of “Conlangery” into their conscripts. The result is new album art and a new site banner.
The contibutions I used are as follows, listed left-to-right, top-to-bottom as they appear on the album art (pictured right), with what background info I’ve been given:
- Ayeri: Narānacan (literally na-rā-na-tya-n) /naˈraːnaʧan/ ‘Conlangery’, from narān ‘language’ + -ati ‘AGTZ’ + -an ‘NMLZ’
- Hwagak: Wéng Wén Ŕinggén /ˈweŋ.wen ˈɹɨŋ.ɡen/ build PAS language-INDF
- Himmaswa: Kangwauswa’iap /kaŋ.wɔ̰.swa.iə̯p̚/
- Klai: [pˡəːsa̰ː ɟlĩək̚ sʉð̞]
- South Eresian: p’eloniryos “abstract quality of creating languages”
FINAL EDIT: I have added Ancaron (top left, the vertical script) and Itlani (bottom right). This is probably the final edit of the album art, as I am running out of visual space, and making the conscript text smaller would not properly showcase it, I think. In any case, the translations for Ancaron and Itlani are as follows:- Ancaron: Sidanaspotcor[ʃɪˈdanasˈpotkoɚ] si-create-language (“Related to conlangs”)
- Itlani: sitsholenú construct-language-thing-plural
Again, this is probably the last time I will update the album art, except perhaps to tweak the positions a bit (it is a mite asymetrical at the top, and it’s definitely not as tight as some previous versions). However, you will have noticed that I changed the header. Since I had trouble fitting even more scripts on the header, I changed it so that on each page load a random script will appear in the header. As such, I’ll continue adding scripts to the header as long as people keep sending them to me, since all it takes is a little bit of time to put it together. Thanks everyone for all your help.
ABSOLUTE FINAL EDIT (really this time): Ok, I realized that I had forgotten Kamakawi in my previous “final” version, so I went a head and fiddled with the thing until now I am sick of dealing with it. You can get all the details in this new post. As I said before, I will still accept submissions for the header, since I’m not so limited in what I can display up there anymore.
