MY CURRENT STATE You can say that I migrated to Reddit (r/conlangs). Reddit may be a good place for exchange for ideas or discussions, but it can never be the right choice to document my conlangs. I then record my conlangs on a document saved in my computer.

Currently I am working on a completely new conlang - Qrai, a language with a trace of English, Mandarin, Japanese, and Atayal (or Seediq). Will this conlang be published on this site? Probably not, since transforming the document into something that fits in this website is troublesome.

I do noticed something interesting: the time I spend on a conlang has been longer and longer. Qrai is going to take me more than one year. I am not sure about other conlangs; I have no idea when exactly I started working on them. Judging by the history of those pages, Modern Yorshaan didn't make it to a whole year, Atramia took 6 months, Classical Yorshaan took only 2 months, and Cheunco (not even labeled "not much to modify") took 3 months. All of the aforementioned conlangs are neither detailed nor really functional (they are only capable of only some basic features).

I do have my own live to worry about. I guess I am no longer a kid who can just sit before the computer and conlang all day long. On the other hand, I became more self-aware and I want to make Qrai more polished and complete (and naturalistic). Sometimes I believe that this very naturalism is why this conlang has took me so long, besides my busy life.

I am going to create a document with more than 100 pages...after Qrai (if I abandon it in the first place) I might not create another one. Maybe I will. Who knows.

YET TO RESUME

Cheunco Language (Project 11) Cheunco right now may seem to be a relex (or combination) of Chinese and Japanese. So there will be a huge change to this conlang.

Soeinam Language (Project 10) Soeinam language is a Chinese dialect besides Taiwanese, Cantonese and other dialects. It's descended from Middle Chinese.

FYI, my mother tongue is Mandarin. But somehow I find it boring. 4 tones, huh.

Walaan (Project 8) Walaan is a mixture of Chinese, Japanese and my creativity, though it seems more like Japanese to me desu.

SCHEDULED TO CREATE

Modern Dzatud A revised version of Zzatud. I should reject the click consonant.

New Atramia A revised version of Atramia. I should make it more latin.

Qentic Mentioned on the page of Cheunco, this is a language that has been affected by Cheunco and borrowed lots of word from it. It's derived from the proto language different from the one whence Cheunco is descented.

NOT MUCH TO MODIFY

Atramia (Project 3) The first language that I consider very close to "complete". It's functional, I guess, at least it's got a ton of words and the grammar is somehow simple.

Yorshaan (Project 7) Yorshaan is the language coming after Atramia, according to it's background, and has some relationship with Atramia.

Yorshaan people lives in the east Europe somewhere between France and Italy. I guess that's the reason why Modern Yorshaan is seriously affected by French.

Modern Yorshaan (Project 9)

Modern Yorshaan is the revised version of Yorshaan. Or we can say that it's a new conlang based on Yorshaan. There's a lot of things that I want to try in Modern Yorshaan, including those I want to alter or remove in "old" Yorshaan.

As I went on learning Japanese, I came to realization that Yorshaan still could not escape the frame of Latin. In other words, the whole model, infinitive, participle, all the heck is designed for and fits for Latin. As a result, Yorshaan still resembles Latin to an extent, although I have added as much new elements as possible. In the future, if I still have time, I may work on something entirely new.

ABANDONED

Farnian (Project 1) Farnian is the very first conlang I have ever created, my first try. As you can expect, this is not very well-designed. Thus I have already abandoned it since it's beyond reclaim as I continue on.

Latinized Farnian (Project 2) Latinized Farnian, according to it's background, is an old language that had been heavily influented by Latin. It has a complex conjugation system. JUST LOOK AT THAT MAGNIFICENT TABLE!

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Kalemic (Project 4) Kalemic is a language where I tried to mimic Arabic. But for some reason I abandoned it. Maybe it's that I didn't know Arabic well. Jesus, Arabic is also so complicated.

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Zzatud (Project 5) Zzatud is the language that I want it to be Cyrillic. But it eventually got another magnificent declension.

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Ayoyaanese (Project 6) There's no page about this language on this wikia, but it's the first tonal language that I created. It contains only a few consonants, but an abundance of vowels.

<h2 style="text-align:center;">WHENCE MY INSPIRATION COME

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Hymmnos In my opinion, Hymmnos is really a great conlang. Although it might not be so functional compared to other conlangs, but it sure amazed me.I even imported some of it's word to early ones of my conlangs.

I'm fond of the "emotion sound" system, using three words to describe the emotion or mood of the speaker. But I'm confused with the spelling, pronunciation (jap ppl, yk), tense, and other its grammar stuff. It seems that it imported words from English and possesses a grammar resembling Japanese, which upsets me a little bit.

Despite all the disadvantages, it's still charming and fascinating especially sung by a woman.

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Kajiuran Kajiuran, also known as Kajiurago (梶浦語), is a conlang made by Japanese composer Yuki Kajiura (梶浦由記). In fact, none of the words from this language makes real sense. Most of its "words" come from Roman languages such as Italian or French, giving people a foreign (or European) feeling.

Regardless of it's meaning or meaninglesness, this does perfectly compliment songs composed by her.

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Randomian "Randomian" is not actually the name of a specific language, but a name for all the made-up languages that you could hear in some songs. Some of them would only appear once in a single video. Others? I don't know.

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Any other real languages I'm learning Before I started engaging in language construction, all languages I know and am able to recognize is Mandarin and English. Nevertheless, currently (2.21.2016), I can recognize Japanese, Taiwanese, Cantonese, French, German, Latin (that is, I know what language it is upon seeing it); I can speak a little Cantonese and Taiwanese and Japanese; I can speak Mandarin (obviously) and English fluently. I always find something interesting when I learn Cantonese or Taiwanese or other languages.
