#auxlang — Public Fediverse posts

I really like the aesthetics and concept of this conlang called ‘dagapya’ (which used to be called ‘dasopya’) by @vecderg. It is minimalist and a priori – though it is inspired by sounds from natural languages to help memorization.

Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching. —Victor Hugo

We use math (square roots) to balance our vocabulary sources, but what happens when conflicts arise?

We prioritize the small.

If a new word source conflicts with another, the smaller language family always gets priority.

This policy lifts up underrepresented voices, ensuring that even languages that might statistically "miss the cut" find a home in our shared tongue.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Hîsyêô's vocabulary isn't random. It is sourced from world languages based on the square root of their L1 (native) speaker populations.

Why the square root? If we used raw proportions, giants like English and Mandarin would swallow the whole dictionary. The square-root method flattens the curve, preventing specific language dominance and ensuring a truly global mix.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

How do you spot a name in Hîsyêô?

🔡 Latin Script: Look for the Capital Letter. It is the only time we use title case. noyo sûko yôk îskô Kôko Kôlo.

🈯 Hîsyokûî & Obûgîdo Scripts: Look for the Brackets or Chevrons. Since these scripts don't have "capital letters," we wrap names to make them stand out. ƨɀ ɐʄɔ ɀ̑ı ɽ́ɟɔı ‹ɔıɔ ɔıʓ›

Simple rule: If it's capitalized or bracketed, it's a Name!

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Did you know Hîsyêô has 4 levels of agreement? 🤯

Stop just nodding your head and start using the right register:

* Casual: ko / cî
* Standard: [Repeat the Verb]
* Formal: hokîkî (It is true) / wofok (Agreed)
* Emphatic: lôîcôk (Absolutely!)

From chilling with friends to signing treaties, we've got you covered. 📜✨

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

We use inverted Q marks ¿like this? for tone but the grammar does the interrogating:

❓ zik (Pronoun) The universal "wh-" word. It stands in for the unknown. zik li nîmû = "Who are you?" (Lit: What/Who is you?)

✅ ko (Ender) Marks a Polar Question (Yes/No). It asks for a truth value. nîmû li xowosê ko = "Are you happy?"

🤝 cî (Ender) Marks a Proposal. It asks for agreement/consent. nûs li nô cî = "Shall we go?" / "Let's go, okay?"

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

In Hîsyêô, the particle yôk is a "constituent negator."

It goes immediately after the Preposition or Verb, but before the object phrase it negates.

noyo mokon yôk kûôxi I eat [not] fruit.

This structure mirrors older English (e.g., "I know not the man") before do-support pulled the negation forward ("I do not know...").

It keeps the negation attached strictly to the action or relationship it modifies! 🧠

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Base verbs in Hîsyêô are Realis—they describe facts. To describe what might, should, or will happen (Irrealis), simply add a prefix:

- 🔮 kôî (Epistemic): Can / Might
- 🤔 bît (Conditional): Would
- ⚠️ kûu (Deontic): Should / Must
- 🚀 ke (Future): Will

Example: noyo golo = "I read." noyo ke golo = "I will read."

Precise moods, zero ambiguity.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

History isn't a line; it's layers. 🪵

In Hîsyêô, we don't have a "timeline." We have wutun wokût (time rings).

Guided by the Radial Growth Metaphor, time is viewed like the cross-section of a tree:

ilik (Inside) = The Past. It is the heartwood that supports us.

cihôû (On) = The Future. It is the new growth forming on the surface.

We don't leave the past behind; we grow around it. 🌳✨

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Inspired by a fellow Kokanido called "Koanu," Hîsyêô was born. However, its ethos took a different path: greater grammar and lexical complexity for balanced information density and speech rate.

The goal is no longer just "minimalism" (which often descends into linguistic code golf), but succinctness. It encompasses a scope wider than minlang proponents allow, trading raw reduction for a complete, "batteries-included" experience.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Unlike auxlangs that seek to be neutral culturally, Hîsyêô takes a "batteries-included" approach.

Rather than fill-in-the-blanks with native biases, Hîsyêô gives you a built-in worldview featuring specific holidays, values, and social structures. A shared reality to step into from day 1.

The path to true cross-cultural fluency requires a shared cultural bridge.

The dedicated fonts (ZokaleUX/NX/F/B) have been updated. Slashes and backslashes that can be used in file paths have been added to U+29F8 and U+29F9. Some ruled line symbols have also been experimentally added to NX.

Happy lono Xôcibîlî! 🪞 (lono yê foko tîkêl — Day of the Mirror)

Forget the chocolates—today is about Identity & Justice.

Coinciding with Frederick Douglass's birthday and Valentine's Day, we affirm a core truth: real love starts with a sovereign Self.

We stand against conformity, celebrating the right to define our own existence.

Drop the mask. Share a hidden truth about yourself with a trusted friend today. Be real. Be you.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

In Hîsyêô, the letter x marks the spot, but don't be shocked—it shows up as a shrill "sh" sound!

Pronounced like / ʃ / (as in "shoe") or the retroflex / ʂ /, it might not have a huge portion of the words (currently 40, 4.88%) but several extremely high frequency words use x.

Don't worry about your pronunciation because / ʃ / conflicts with / s /, / f /, and /  t͡ɕ /; there are no words to mispronounce!

So when you see x, think sh!

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

The particle bi marks Manner or Process Material. It turns a noun into an adverb, describing how or through what nature an action occurs.

Manner: nîo kôto bi fûnlôk ➡️ "He speaks joyfully." (with joy)

Nature/Process: noyo mokon ulyô bi zonwul ➡️ "I ate it animalistically." (with animal nature)

It allows you to perform an action through the essence of a noun.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

Want to double or triple something? Just use the particle ônî before a number!

It creates a versatile phrase that can act as an adjective or noun.

ônî dûî (Multiplier + Two):

➡️ as adjective? "Double" zinkon ônî dûî = "Double doors"

➡️ as noun? "Pair" noyo buswen ônî dûî = "I need a pair."

Minimal syntax, maximum impact. 🧠

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo

We don't see time as a line, but as a tree growing outward. 🌳

ilik (In) = "Before" The past is the Core—where the seedling once was. It is deep inside us.

cihôû (On) = "After" The future is the Surface—where the new growth meets the world.

And ocûo nomû otôs (Bark)? That is the baggage our history pushes outward, protecting and shaping our future.

#conlang #auxlang #worldlang #ConstructedLanguage #hisyeo #metaphor

In English, we use "dummy subjects" like "there" or "it" to state existence (e.g., "There is a person").

In Hîsyêô, you just drop the subject!

When you have a null subject and start with the complement marker li, it creates an existential statement.

Example: ✨ li umo Literal: "[Is] someone" Meaning: "There is someone." / "It is a person."

No empty words needed; just pure existence.

I've just finished translating the chapter 1 of a novel. It's difficult to translate the original Japanese text without any problems. It would be easier if I used the same alternative expressions as when translating from Japanese to English, but I would like to reproduce the Japanese text as faithfully as possible. However, a conlang that can perfect of Japanese would just be a cipher and not a conlang. I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.

The large-scale vocabulary expansion was completed in late April. Currently, I am translating a novel I wrote as a hobby into Z4 to investigate vocabulary deficiencies and problems with existing words. In other words, the changes to existing words will continue for a while. At the same time, I have also resumed grammar development for Z4. The changes may mainly involve changes to the notating or an expansion of the range of notating.

I am nowhere close to a functional #conlang after six months of work, and it's already so monstrously big that it's difficult to change things.

But hey, progress is progress:

*Les parentes ti meu amice son pones.*
"My friend's parents are good."

Basically it's an (in-universe) Spanish #auxlang with other Romance languages mixed in. I wonder how readable this is to someone with a proper Romance background?
