Re: Conlang book: any interest?

Well, I can say that I'm interested, and will buy a copy if I can afford
it (or have someone else afford it for me). In fact, I'm so interested
I'll probably by a copy even if I can't afford it (the marvals of being
a minor, and being able to get money from your parents and all...)

And, for your writing pleasure, here are some conlangs I have conlangued.

1. Name of conlang

Finnstek
'Legal' dialects: Standard Finnstek and Finnzsa

2. Name of conlanger

Tristan Alexander McLeay

3. Sample sentence with interlinearization/translation (optional)

Finnstek: Tai finnsteki kiraip szepei kailazsa-pinzsa stek.
Finnzsa: Tu finstexi pii czep kiilazja-pinzja stek.

English:  Finnstek is the language of the clan of the Jungle Crocodiles of Pii
Literal:  Finnstek from Pii Crocodile Jungle's language


Tai/Tu, normal sentence

finnsteki = finnstek, 'Finnstek', +i, present tense
finstexi = finstek, 'Finnstek', +hi, present tense

kiraip = 'Pii'
pii = 'Pii' (borrowed from many other Piilanguages)

szepei/czep = coming from ('of' in this sense)

kailazsa = kail, 'crocodile', +a, 'Honourable', 'Clan', +zsa, genitive
kiilazja = kiil, 'crocodile', +a, 'Honourable', 'Clan', +zja, genitive

pinzsa = pin, 'jungle', +zsa, adjectiviser
pinzja = pin, 'jungle', +zja, adjectiviser

stek = language


4. Web page URLs, e-mail addresses, book titles, or other sources of
further information (optional)

5. A short (no more than about 5 sentences) description/explanation of the
language (e.g. reasons for its creation, associated concultures, etc.)

Finnstek was originally created so that I could have a language that
inflected the tense on the subject (i.e, for the sake of it), and now it
is the language of the Fince (Finnstek 'Finns'), aka the Jungle
Crocodiles of Pii.

Et[a-acute]bnanni (pronounced /'rAmHnenL/, H=High tone, L=Low tone) was
created because I thought that too many conlangs had too regular
spellings. Of course, Et[a-acute]bnanni has a regular orthography too,
just very strage. Its speakers are the Thaf (Et[a-acute]bannani
'T[a-acute]b'). No more is known about them.
