Re: Has anyone made a real conlang?

Hello.

You'll find a number of conlang grammars on the web as complete as many
introductory grammars of natural languages.

Among these are my own Goesk, which is listed under the Artificial Language
heading in the Grammars section of yourdictionary.com, and can be reached
more directly at http://www.eccentrix.com/members/rainchild/goesk1.html.

Creating Goesk did not require teamwork;  I created it myself.  Though I
borrowed liberally from the grammars of Germanic languages by design, the
grammar also features a number of my own innovations.

Is Goesk really a language?   It it customary to call conlangs "constructed
languages" or "artificial languages."   Technically, though, I consider
Goesk to be an imaginary language which my grammar describes.   File it
under "artlangs";   it was made for no higher purpose than to bring another
curiosity into the world.

It has about 1000 words, and with necessary additions to vocabulary, one
could write a diary in it.  I have written several sample texts in it, and
have included these in an appendix to the grammar.
