Ohhhh yes thank you! Just a week ago I had an idea in mind for evolving a naturalistic future conlang of a pidgin English. Looking forward to the series! :D
So glad I found this. I'm currently trying to make an a posteriori conlang that is a future evolution of a real language, so I hope the next episodes come soon!
This night I was thinking of making an "How to make an a posteriori conlang" series, and here you've already started making it, just a few days before I got the idea :D. But I still want to do it. You used Wiktionary for vocabulary, didn't you?
Lol, giving me some competition! Really shows the need though. For vocabulary with this language I used Wiktionary, a Coptic dictionary I found online, a Neo-Punic dictionary I found online (this was really hard), a compilation of known African Romance words, and then just my knowledge of/me looking up words in Classical Arabic, Koine Greek, and Latin (with special attention to Sicilian and Sardinian semantic drift).
It is possible to create a fantasy but realistic history like a a new human race like vampires who talk an evolution of a pidgin or creole between their language and other local ones?
I do mostly a priori conlangs, but i've never started by doing a proto-language, because that's like creating a language from scratch, why can't I skip that and just build the language I want, with the sounds i want right from the beginning? It's optional to start by a proto-language, but only if you enjoy doing historical evolution, otherwise I'd say: just go directly to the phonology/grammar that you want.
I really disagree with your definition of an a posteriori language. They can be what you describe, but essentially it is just a way to describe the vocabulary of your conlang, and it just means it is based on existing natural languages in our world. They don’t have to have a protolanguage, and *definitely* aren’t based on English really. You should draw from a wide variety of natural languages.
im very glad this exists, i dont really know where to start with my future french language
I greatly appreciate you making this series! I'm looking forward to what you'll teach us.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to making the next few!
I'm looking forward to seeing how this series goes.
Been trying to create a gothic-descended language for some time now but I can't figure it out
Cool! Hopefully this series will be able to help!
נראה מרתק! נרשמתי ומצפה לסרטון הבא
תודה, גם אני!
this is the tutorial series I actually kinda new I needed
Languages sound sick as always, looking forward to the series.

That sounds really cool!
I am excited to see how this series goes!
Thanks for the series dude. Been meaning to get to work finishing my Latin-evolved conlang.
Nice! A romlang!

Pretty sure that would be an alternate history language so yes? I think?
@@simulanger yes, an alternate history language

this conlang sounds like Modern Greek and Arabian, i don't know certainly, but is very good to hear
If you mean Arabic not Arabian, that makes sense! Those were two of its biggest influences.
