But that's the publisher, not the author

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the author?? (seriously)

The email address at http://www.lyber-eclat.net/lyber/bolo/auteur.html is bouncing

Thanks.

Quite a sonorous set of phones, I quite like it. The voiced labiodental fricative being the exception, but I can let it slide...

I love you!

That website is pure nerd, I love it!

Thanks. Any way you could provide a gloss when you get the chance?

No problem, and sounds good. While I'm at it, here's an attempt at a Klingon translation:

Hey, thanks for your post!

I'll ask the Pandunia community for a translation of this as well.

I can't seem to join it. (Sorry this is a late reply.)

Holy cow, as I Gentoo user I initially started learning Lojban, although I later ended up learning Esperanto when I found someone who spoke it. This actually seems really accurate…

I am transferring content from Reddit to Raddle, starting with Toki Pona. I'll try to do Quenya or Klingon later this week.

Yeah I agree. I think it would be really nice to make a conlang with others instead of on my own because that would be a way for me to get into it without taking on the effort of an entire language

Post that too, if you'd like. :)

I agree for sure. Something smaller first is a great idea.

I think absolutely! I'll say this; /u/kittybecca's current idea is very cool but definitely is something of an advanced project, as it seems to presuppose each participant's comfort with making a language on their own. Perhaps, as a first project engaged in by the conlang-interested among us, something closer to "just a collaboratively designed language" (as per /u/shanoxilt's original posting), without the additional layers of simulated history (at first, at least) and independent work, might be a better first project for getting each other on the page and for developing a communicative foundation.

What do y'all think? (I suppose this should be a top level comment).

Also, yeah I think a matrix channel is a good idea. I don't know how to make one, though.

I'm really really interested in making a language but I have almost no experience with this sort of thing. I study historical linguistics but don't really know much about conlangs besides they exist. Can i still participate and will you all help me?

EDIT: could we make a matrix channel for discussions? It seems like Raddle is on thin ice and I don't want this idea and collaboration to die out if Raddle goes down

That's a good question. I had thought about both, and was maybe leaning toward using English to design the interlanguage, but I imagine it would depend on who was interested and what they were comfortable with... I'm not against doing it all with the individual languages.

With what level of extra-conlang metadiscussion do you envision the interlanguage being created? In other words, would we more be designing it together, using English (or whatever) as a meta-language to do so, or would we try to communicate with each other using the languages we've created individually, and let the interlanguage take shape from those efforts without it being collectively designed?

Comment on own idea: It should be encouraged in such a project that people not essentialize their constructed cultures and instead make them heterogeneous, nuanced, three-dimensional, etc..

Additional question: What would a reasonable time frame for the stages be?
