Ha! Saw this article linked on Fark, looked at the picture and just immediately started reading the Elvish text. It's the Our Father prayer in Tolkien's own translation.

Search online for "ataremma tolkien" if you are curious about the whole text. Today just seems a good day for me and the professor.

Durdekors was a conlang I started for a role-playing board game I mocked up in 1999. I got further on the language than I did on the game. https://troypress.com/durdekors-rpg-mini-lang/ #conlangs #Blaugust

I’m kicking off Blaugust 2026 with a week of conlang posts, salvaged from archives of my defunct Langmaker website. I start with my very first conlang, as @zompist recently shared some artistic juvenilia on his Patreon. https://troypress.com/karklak-the-gnome-tongue/ #conlangs #Blaugust

Hey, there.
We all know that there are countless cosy and nice communities on #Discord of all kinds that many of us found a lot of friends and (used to) spend a majority of our time socialising in.

I used to be able to instantly find nice and welcoming communities about basically any topic – #conlangs, #games, #art, #queer stuff – many of which resulted in amazing friendships and great times.

But since I've practically moved off Discord for everything but work, it's been getting lonely. People gradually lost touch, there are no more nightly voice chats, no more life updates, no more new friends, no more cosy community moments. If I'm being honest, the second I left Discord, I stopped making online friends altogether. The #Fediverse is really cool, but it's very rare for people to just text you and take it to DMs and become regular friends you talk to every day. Mostly because it's a social media platform and not a messenger. And that's kinda sad.

So I will #AskFedi – does anyone here know any specific non-Discord-based cosy communities like the ones we used to have? Like, places to just hop into a chat and hang out in every night, #Minecraft servers where the folks actually know each other, queer friend and support groups, gaming spaces, hobby-based communities, and so on?

I don't mind any medium whether it's #Matrix or #Mumble or Signal or anything else. I'm just yearning for that state of life where I had tons of potential new friends, communities and good times at the press of a button back then. The time you could just join 'something something cafe' you found on Disboard or whatever and immediately make friends with the local folks by just hanging out and posting a bit.

(I'm looking for personal recommendations of communities to check out. I'm not looking for people to just direct me to public directories of Matrix channels or whatever, sorry. I am fully aware of those; but everything listed there usually are empty and inactive places that hardly see any authentic interaction between people ever because they were only created for the sake of existing on said software, but nobody actually uses them for fun)

This list of number words from a constructed language is honestly a little bit cursed:

0 nulo
1 uno
2 duo
3 san
4 fo
5 penta
6 sita
7 seven
8 ba
9 nin

(Intentionally not mentioning the language.)

they made lojban sound beautiful🤯
("THE vocaloid #yuri #song" as they describe it)
of their #songs most i like #sambahsa ones but this one is actually pretty cool
this #vocaloids master has come a long way, if you compare their first pieces to recent ones you'll be shocked by the progress! and theyve got so few (>510) subscriptions, too few😥 yes i understand the audience for #vocaloid #covers (mostly on #anime songs and other vocaloid songs) in #conlangs is very limited but still im sure there are more #conlanging fans like me out there who might appreciate their work

For the #beloveduniverse, I invented an entire language. lol I've always enjoyed #conlangs so it was quite fun. Though it does slow me down when I want to do a sentence, realize I don't have the words, gotta design the words, and then start #writing again. lol #writingcommunity #indieauthor #iamwriting
