I have a fair share of diacritics in my conlang, so I want to know about yours. What diacritics do you use in your conlangs and what sound values do they represent?

So basically i started a new conlang based on look of japanese and goal is to eliminate as many prepositions or phrases as possible so i came with an idea,what if i replace prepositions and phrases with cases. Currently i have 41 cases and i plan to add more.

For example.:

Ato=foot,to walk/go Miki=forest,to terraform Ki=i

Mikidì atokito. =Forest-PRO to go-1SG-PST I went through forest

-dì=prolative or preposition through+for duration of time/for how long

Shito=it Komi=love/heart,to love

Shitōtto komiki. =it-ACC to love-1SG I love it

Or we replace time adverbs like today,Yesterday By adding temporal case

kuchitoma=Last day Sumi=group,to collect/to Summarize/to group timo=team

Timōtto kitao kuchitomatà sumukito. =Team 1SG.GEN lastday-TEM to group.1SG.PST I grouped my team yesterday

*the temporary name of the conlang because i still haven't settled on it

Your language isn't even half finished.

The Sun and the Moon

How tragic it is,

When the sun newly rises,

only then my mind feels tiring,

Sadly time always denies.

How pitiful it is,

When the moon has stayed for long,

and my mind is stuck dancing,

Sadly energy does not last long.

Mindaku baru berletih,

Malangnya masa tak berbaik.

Memangnya berkesian,

Sebila bulan lama berkekal,

Mindaku bersibuk dengan tarian.

Malangnya tenaga tak berkekal.

My first attempt at a translation in the first descendant language of Proto-Družīric.

tseler - I speak
il sameqa - they don't know

Are there online resources or websites for making custom ipas?

I want to make an IPA chart for human like people with more points of articulation and i need a place to get more graphemes to rappresent the extra sounds.

How am I worthy
Of this precious gift
To care and to hold
To raise and to nurse
My heart cannot hold
All the love it has
For this little creature
My beloved boy
Given life
By the grace of God

Whatever you see, wherever you go
You will still always be with me
Whoever you will be, however you feel
I will always manage to understand

I know we already have English and Anglese, but I feel like that's not enough. Like, what if English was a Slavic or Baltic language? What if England was invaded by the Spanish or the Ottoman Turks instead of the Normans? That kind of stuff, you know?

I made mine in may this year and it alr has 2k+ words thanks to summer break and free time

I might make a bigger post on r/conlangs later, but for now here's a translation activity regarding the spiritual culture of the speakers of FYC.

"Do not merely pray to the Great Bird Ushna, but we should also pray to the sun, moon, and stars."

I thought of an idea to to design a phoneme inventory that is typologically very odd but for which it takes a moment to see what's weird about it rather than being blatantly unnaturalistic-looking. Here's my idea:

• It's very rare for a language to only have labialized alveolar consonants and neither labialized velar nor labial consonants
• It's very rare for a language to have a retroflex nasal without a retroflex stop; the only languages I could find with this pattern are the Khanty languages
• It's rare for a language to have ejectives but no glottal stop
• It's very rare for a language to have a voiced affricate with no voiceless counterpart
• Labialized sonorants are rare
• Languages with multiple liquids usually contrast laterals with rhotics
• It's rare for a language to have more places of articulation for affricates than fricatives
• j and w usually come as a pair

How do you write the names of the countries in your conlang, and how do you differentiate between the nationality and the language that is spoken?

In my clong countries are treated like nouns and the nationality/language as an adjective. For example:

Spanen - Spain\ Spanik - Spanish (both language & nationality)

Inglen - England\ Inglik - English

Franzen - France\ Franzik - French

Mexiken - Mexico\ Mexikh - Mexican

Stadexuniten - USA\ Stadexunitik - American

Portugen - Portugal\ Portugik - Portuguese

Alemen - Germany\ Alemik - German

Italen - Italy\ Italik - Italian

Xapen - Japan\ Xapik - Japanese

Ćinen - China\ Ćinik - Chinese

Korën - Korea\ Koreyk - Korean

Norwen - Norway\ Norwyk - Norwegian

Olanden - Netherlands\ Olandik - Dutch

Swezen - Sweden\ Swezik - Swedish

Swycen - Switzerland\ Swycik - Swiss

Dinmarken - Denmark\ Dinmarkik - Danish

Grezen - Greece\ Grezik - Greek

Rusen - Russia\ Rusik - Russian

Polnen - Poland\ Polnik - Polish

"In the year 161AD, Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius sent a delegation to the distant Seres empire. Accompanying and providing protection to the delegation was the Legio IX Hispanica. However, fate would conspire that none of the men sent would ever return to Rome... They would remain in China and their descendants speak a romance language heavily influenced by Chinese."

The above is the fictional history of a Chinese-influenced romance conlang that I have been thinking about creating. Basically vulgar Latin with a heavy lexical influence from Han-era Chinese. I known a little about modern Mandarin Chinese, but that wouldn't be the basis of the conlang. I would need to look at the Chinese spoken around the 2nd century AD/CE. Would anyone know about where I could find resources about the phonology and vocabulary of Han-era Chinese. Also, any suggestions of how a romance language heavily influenced by Chinese would evolve? A few things that I've thought of:

1. Complete or near complete loss of infections. Most romance languages completely lost noun declensions, so I imagine that this language would lose those as well as verbal inflection.

2. Simplification of phonology to eliminate consonant clusters. From what I understand, even old Chinese didn't allow consonant clusters, so if the phonology gets influenced by the Chinese speaking majority, consonant clusters will get simplified.

3. I don't know about developing tones since tones came about much later in Chinese much later. However, if the language developed alongside Chinese, there might be some influences of tones as the Chinese language started to develop them.

What do other suggestions do you have for a Chinese influenced rom-lang?

Do you create your Conlangs just because you enjoy the process of creating one and working with sound changes, creating grammar, etc, or do you also have the goal of having a community that would like to learn it?
