Don't just think about letters, but sounds. For example, "a" in English makes many different sounds - apple, father, away.
Also, consider sounds that English uses multiple letters for: "sh," "ch," or "th," for example.

Hey everyone!
This October I'm hosting #Conlangity, a game about fictional languages!
The goal is to help total newbies craft a conlang that is realistic & usable! It will hopefully be accessible to non-linguist people, but it won't be for the faint of heart. Prepare for a challenge!

We're starting off real simple! Don't get used to it 😂
What's the name of your conlang, and who speaks it in your world? Don't get too deep into the history or purpose of it yet; that'll be Day 5!
Bonus: How much do you already have developed? What made you want to make it?

Congratulations, you survived Phonemes Day! But we're still not done establishing the basic flavor of your conlang.
Today, tell me which sounds (consonants, vowels, phoneme combos) are rare or never used in this language, or would be hard for native speakers to pronounce.

Non phonetics in sign are called parameters! Here's a video explaining the 5 parameters of ASL (sorry int. friends, I don't know enough sign outside of ASL 😅) my WIPs sign language uses these parameters as well.

Tellari-Universal is a language spoken by the Tellari species in my First Light series. It is constructed, simplified version of Tellari-Contextual, that cuts out all of the nonverbal components (pheromones and kinesics) and tries to patch up what's left with more vocalizations.

Good morning friendos!
The language mainly used in my #GodsOfAtalantis series is Na'aqal. It's the native language of the people of Atalantis.
I'm cheating because I've already developed this language A LOT 😅 But doing all that work was what inspired me to make this game for others!

Tellari-Universal includes many sounds, but notably lacks the kind of noises you'd make with your lips, because as a reptilian species, they have a rigid jaw and lack lip flexibility.
This limitation is made up for by breaking it up with other sounds, some unreplicable by humans.

Sheltri was originally going to be a more sibilant language when I started conceptualizing it, but I’m moving away from that except for referencing sibilance in the dialect of the treeshapers. I don’t think it’s a lot heavier on vowels than English, but they are more drawn out

There’s Sheltri, (my Sheltri characters speak) but also Kudrum (speech of the antagonist race), Ancient Tellinaeic (high speech of the Sheltri), High Cirdaathan (formal Firimar tongue of the holy city in S. Central Rhadhallon), and Talfúrnian, the common tongue.
I need to choose quick!

Geez, Emily, starting off heavily with the stuff I struggle with.😂
Arca'raed (pronounced 'ARC-ah rEEd' and often translated as 'our speech' but more literally 'speech of the lands') is definitely a more vowel heavy language. Many of the words emphasize their vowels while softening 🧵

What does your conlang sound like? Is it heavier on vowels, or consonants? Are there any unique sounds like clicking, glottal stops, etc? What about non-phonetic methods of communication? If you want, use an IPA chart!

#ConLangity I'm not threading all these together this time :P
Athan is a big language, so it uses a lot of broad vowel sounds - more O's, A's and U's, less I's and E's. It also tries to avoid voiceless fricatives, for similar reasons.

I feel as if Polish, Serbian, Croatian, etcetera, consonant-heavy languages and consonant-cluster-heavy languages would, as a whole, be very difficult for the vowel-loving speakers of Kirrhin, and those languages evolved from it. 🧵

#Conlangity Day 3
Congratulations, you survived Phonemes Day! But we're still not done establishing the basic flavor of your conlang.
Today, tell me which sounds (consonants, vowels, phoneme combos) are rare or never used in this language, or would be hard for native speakers to pronounce.

The language's name is Transalpine Wolven, although its speakers refer to it as Atchua, (lit., "Our voice").
As the name suggests, it's primarily spoken by wolves. More specifically, by wolves on the continent's west coast from the midlatitudes to just before the tropics. ⬇️

#Conlangity Day 1
We're starting off real simple! Don't get used to it 😂
What's the name of your conlang, and who speaks it in your world? Don't get too deep into the history or purpose of it yet; that'll be Day 5!
Bonus: How much do you already have developed? What made you want to make it?
