User blog:Aschiffer186/Proto-Lang Challenge

Introduction

Hello, in this challenge the goal is to create an a priori proto-language for a family of your choice. You must also make a list of sound changes to another language in that family (but you do not need to create that other language). The winner of course is the person who makes the most original, most creative, and most well developed language (well developness is important). There were be a required text, which will be announced on the date of the contest

Rules

-The language may not have been started before the contest

-The language must be entirely a priori 


 * This means no loan words from another language

-Phonology, Orthography, and Grammar must be listed on the site


 * There are no rules about what the grammar or phonology of the language must be like

-The language must have a lexicon and a translation


 * The translation must be the required text or something approved by me.


 * Translation must have IPA and gloss.

-Since proto-languages are the beginning of a language family, there must be a list of sound changes to one other language


 * That other language does not need to be completed other than the sound changes
 * There is no fixed number of sound changes required; however, providing a small amount of sound challenges will probably not result in a lot of upvotes unless there is a good reason for doing so.

-¡There will be one other rule to be announced the day of the challenge!

-Tag entries with the Proto-Lang Challenge tag.
