New
Hey, I'm new to all of this... so, would you mind telling me how I can get more people to look at my page and my language? Thank you so much in advance!

By the way, I really like this website. Kinda like the first time I've put my language online, so I hope people are gonna like it. Ciao!Oregu 14:03, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Glad you are enjoying, if you want people to check it out you can apply for featured (though I doubt youd get far there) but you will get critisism in attemps to help you and more. otherwise you can link it in other pages outside of the wiki. If you want help please feel free to ask The Emperor Zelos 15:27, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry if I've been kind of annoying lately by not using IPA and talking about borrowed ideas without asking about them. I don't want to cause you too much trouble. Medmura118 17:37, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Derivation Page
I remember seeing a page with a long list of word derivations/endings, but i can't locate it. Did you remove it?

It was like a table in this format:

Thanks for the welcome!
It's all seeming very daunting at the moment for me, I don't really know where to start! I have a lot of documentation for my conlang on my pc but I'll have to work out where I begin. Thanks again Hhaayyddnn 14:17, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

The Polar Bears invaded the south pole as a means of providing land once global warming takes its full effect. The penguins are effectively a lesser species. Many other species were exiled to the North Pole, creating the Norpolians.

Your username...
How is Zelos supposed to be stressed? IPA? Just random curiosity whilst translating names in Khaz Malanaz (one of my conlangs.) So far The Emperor Zelos would be somewhat like.. nār Bālrōkh Zēlos (assuming initial long vowel followed by short).

I'd appreciate it if you cleared this up for me :P ~ Billy J.B(talk) 02:01, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * :P Emperor is a title i use for fun, people just call me Zelos and the stress is on the e there
 * Where'd you get that from? Funny note, in Spanish, it's pronounced like "selos", which means "jealousy". :P LctrGzmn 05:25, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, jealousy's "zelos" not "selos", haha. Still :PLctrGzmn 05:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thiskish
Am I missing something in grammar or should I keep translating? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:54, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

The Emperor Zelos 08:57, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Use of article and cases you should consider article changing in accordance to number and case and or phonology
 * 2) Questions, how are they formed?
 * 3) How you mark known/new information?

—Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:43, May 27, 2010 (UTC) The Emperor Zelos 17:32, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, you think a new definite article for each different case would be good?
 * 1) I thought I had that. I'll add them soon.
 * 2) Maybe I'll add a prefix.
 * 1) Not at all, I think it is tasteful and many languages with articles usually have them agreeing, old english did, german does
 * 2) Good
 * 3) You could, or have a particle, or use a different construct like english
 * 4) I would also say that your subclause part is rather insuffient doesnt describe the process properly or the method you are thinking on is in my oppinion odd
 * 5) Also the ending for each part of speech is HIGHLY unnatural, there is usually a range of things to choose from, like swedish various ways of having noun declensions etc
 * 1) I forgot what agreeing meant.
 * 2) Okay
 * 3) Okay
 * 4) Subclauses are weird >_<
 * 5) Esperanto has endings. I think it would be Okay as Thiskish is an isolate.

—Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:15, May 27, 2010 (UTC) The Emperor Zelos 21:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It means for example that the article modifies the noun (as they do by definition) in which they take a special form for the cases which must be identical to the nouns case, if the noun is dative so is the article
 * 2) Why are subclauses wierd?
 * 3) It does and its artificial and NOT natural, what you have is unnatural, I recomend you dont have like esperanto or yours will sound fake

—Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 19:47, June 1, 2010 (UTC) The Emperor Zelos 19:56, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Okay
 * 2) Because they are extremely confusing to make grammar for. They can be in sentences with lots of other words that aren't part of another subclause and it is annoying. Can you get on irc (PC:, Mac: ) and help me?
 * 3) How does having endings make something sound fake, wtf lolwut hax?
 * 1) Goot
 * 2) link failed
 * 3) The way they work can make them sound fake

—Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:19, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It's now fixed. Try again. Then write /join #conlangwiki and meet me there.
 * 2) Another reason to discuss on chat.
 * 1) Unfortunately my java is problematic and so is my computer so i cannot for the moment join anything of the such The Emperor Zelos 15:36, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Adwan's Description
Adwan's description.


 * Adwan is an unclassified, inflecting language. It is unknown as to what language family it belongs to, although grammatically, it has been said to resemble both Indo-European and, if only some, Uralic traits. Adwan carries many unique features apart from the features that it shares with many languages (such as a 7 case system, all cases shared with Latin, 6 of which are shared with most Slavic languages, verb conjugation, flexible word order, etc), such as the use of agglutination for verbs, the lack of gender-by-default in nouns, and the innovative use of preposition meaning depending on case. Adwan, unlike many languages, does not strive to be simple. Ont he contrary, for English speakers, Adwan will be quite difficult to master, if not grammatically, then definitely phonetically. Adwan was influenced by many European languages, such as Icelandic, Czech, and Polish, with the other occasional influences by Welsh, Spanish and Norwegian. Adwan, fictionally, is also the main language spoken in Aðwánia or Adwania.

Babel's Tower as language construction aid
Do you think just setting out to translate Babel's tower is a good way of building your language or do you think it's too much? I feel that it would put the grammar to the test practically at least. Mjondras 20:34, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

well, I need somebody to help me develop this, as it is impossible to tackle the conlang problem alone, expecially if the person making the conlang isn't that familiar with the buisness :P Rostov-na-don 15:16, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah sure The Emperor Zelos 15:58, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Recomendation #1, dont make words just yet

Responce: those words were in my story for quite a while, I had to have an alien society so I chose Kti, those were words that already existed, and there are some 35-40 of those words :) I need to put them somewhere accesible Rostov-na-don 16:43, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Quai'op Description
Quai'op is an analytical language isolate spoken in East Asia in Taiwan and the Philippines, with origins unknown, but possibly Chinese. Its vocabulary, for the most part, is unique, but some grammar traits entered the language from Min Chinese and Tagalog. It is unique in that common contractions tend to form new words, and thus, for example, a case-like system exists for nouns, although truly not all nouns carry any of these cases at all, besides the nominative. Being an isolating language, the word order is only flexible within certain boundaries, but the amount that can be expressed precisely exceeds that of English. In addition, there is a large number of aspectual particles to tell what time of the day something took place, and a large amount of evidentialities to tell where a speaker took his or her information. The language heavily use glottalization, and a strict timing exists. The language would be moderately difficult for an English speaker to learn and pronounce, but the grammar is simple enough not to have to learn it, immediately beginning with vocabulary.

Adwan banner rewording
Hello, Zelos. Sorry to be a nuisance, but due to major changes in Adwan, my featured banner text is much different than it was when it first became featured. I was wondering if you could replace it? I tried but it seems I don't have the authority. Thanks in advance!

I Need Your Help ...
Hi Emperor Zelos!

I had a quick questions concerning templates. I have noticed that in some articles templates have a very light bluish-gray background to them. However when I use my templates the background is white, like the rest of the screen. Can you please reply telling me how to change this?

Thanks,

Friends225.

Which Template might that be? The Emperor Zelos 19:18, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think he means the difference between:

and

In response, simply go back to the coding and put in "class="wikitable" after the first {| from the table's code. Or just copy and paste the table if you're lazy like I am. Cheers. LctrGzmn 00:51, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Bot help
Zelos, please, would you mind putting the bot to work: I've only just noticed that I have been using two distinct table styles; can that bot transform avarege templates into class=wikitable ones? Pwetty pwease? Rostov-na-don 19:49, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hi :) It's been two years since I last visited this wiki and a lot has changed here :P I have a little question about Template:Conlang Info. What is meant with "head direction"? --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:38, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yes alot has changed, I am the emperor, the admin now praise me or get blocked! :P Just joking, well I am admin but I dont do that stuff XD.

Head direction is where the head is placed, it should be either final, first or mixed. I'll give english examples and bold the head

First: Cat Black

Final: Black Cat

Mixed is simply that there is no consistency throughout the language in various fields

Aid
Hello!

I'm Waahlis, and mighty new to this Wikia. But first things first, shall we? Many thanks for the welcoming message, and excuse me if I wasn't permitted to correct typos and such on page. I have been sauntering around here for a while, watching, learning... And I have also gotten the feeling of you being "the Emperor". And sympathetic as well.

However, since I recently signed up here, I have no experience whatsoever on how to create pages and how to write my conlang. Therefore I ask of your assisstance.

!Ayúdame, por favor!

Since my post here was unanswered and that you replied on my Talk page, I might as well reply you on yours; It was not my intention to interfere, but I just tried to help and since ultima and ultimate is just a matter of preference, I am sorry if you preferred the former. I just thought it would be more clear for people unfamiliar with the expression.

Sorry and ...
