Title: Fyhen Shush - Hello
Post by: ShadowedSin on February 06, 2011, 06:41:52 pm
Allo, just a short message since I'm fighting a cold. I am ShadowedSin from LearnNavi also DarkenVise on Youtube. Resident Conlanger and lover of nomadic peoples (Mongol is on my list of languages to learn!). I am also a major fan of the Dothraki people and their civilization in ASOIAF.

I'm also a college undergrad working on a degree in Cultural Anth and Linguistics. I also do constructive language and culture work.

Cool. Any chance you have a linguistics society there? I selfishly ask because I set up this (http://lingstudents.wordpress.com/) and I am trying to get more people involved from around the world.

Yup we have a linguistics club I could bug the president soon. I'm going to be doing a presentation on Amazon sometime later this year for the club too.

Ah, cool dude! What language would 'Amazon' be? I'm not familiar with it.

I looked up the page - are you guys doing Sanskrit now?

Amazon is simply "Aɲazon" IPA being [ɑɲɑʒon]. Just me working on it, I do use Sanskrit, Persian, Greek and Classical Greek as sources for the Conlang.

Nice.

Conlanging takes so much time. I spent three hours last night reading a book. Probably should have been conlanging.

Been studying Semantics for the past two nights. When I'm done it's an anthro essay and then studying on Anth religion stuff. But I have a book on Sanskrit Grammar and a book of basic Indo-Eurpean languages to read. I love my universitys massive syntactical listings. We have two books on Old Church Slavonic!
