About Akidacerosian
This conlang was originally called Orkish because I created it for someone who was going to use it in a novel. But since that person no longer needs it, I'm re-creating it to fit in my own conworld.
About Akidacerosian:
Even though it is functional, one day I'd like to add more depth to this conlang. But for now, I like it as is.
About Akidacerosian:
- Spoken by a race of gigantic rhino-like beings called Akidaceros [singular: Akidacero]. Outsiders sometimes call them Orks and their language is informally called Orkish.
- Designed to be a simple polysynthetic language. It is polysynthetic, but not scarily so.
- Inspired by the Bella Coola language and Laadan
- Evidentials
- Tons of affixes and postbases
- Fun consonant clusters, clicks, co-articulated consonants! Designed to be fun to speak [well, for me anyway.]
- Uses noun incorporation a lot
- Vowels can be creaky or nasal. Vowels with tone indicate a relative clause
Even though it is functional, one day I'd like to add more depth to this conlang. But for now, I like it as is.
