Talk:Cacicienne

Another dull romance language...Lufttygger306 12:44, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

a bit harsh, surely
If you remember the internet meme from a few months back "Inglip", in which people *belived* messages were being sent from *the other side* by a being called Inglip:

Anyhoo, I was *told* by Inglip that his name meant "father" in a language called "Kakica" and, when I asked what Kakica was, was *told* it "was French". As a joke I started making "Kakica", which eventually became an English-French hybrid (all the words are actually English synonyms disguised as French, teeheehee).

It served me threefold: So of course it's a dull Romance lang: it was a cheap joke that got out of hand, not a sodding magnum-opus, and it gives a voice to the *other* of Nauspayr. It will probably end up as part of a suite of languages as the entry-level; the one by which all the others are understood.
 * 1) In contrast to Nauspayr which is distinctly not Romance nor dull (Armenian, Finnish, Gaelic, Chinese, Native-Australian hybrid thingy), I was able to explain to non-conlanging friends what the [expletive] I was on about when I started talking about case, and mood, and all that.
 * And, in doing so, it was a nice rest not to have to think which "want" mood to conjugate my verbs in, or whether I needed the ellative or inessive case.
 * 1) It serves nicely as something distinctly cheap and tacky / dull and bureaucratic. In the truest sense it's metropolitan: of the city: common, non-challenging and recognisable.

p.s. the transcription is rather non-standard for conlanging

I apologize
Hello, I'm sure the creator of this language will not see this message, but if he/she does, I apologize for my childish behavior on my old account, 2 years ago, which I have just stumbled upon now. I am so embarrassed to see a piece of art condescended in such a foolish way; "Another dull romance language"; that I had to speak up on behalf of my embarrassment. I have turned smarter in those 2 years. I must note, that I forgot the password to that account a long time ago.
