Hei Folks, first I'd like to introduce me, I'm Chris, a student of linguistics, living in Germany Altough I'm a noobly-new subscriber to this board, I'v...
The only problem I can see is if the meaning of the prefix is inconsistent. In English, the Online Etymology Dictionary says it can "...have just about any...
I pretty much agree wholly with Nightvid on this. There are plenty of be- words in all the germanic languages. Some but not all have counterparts without the...
Hei Chris, Welkomme in de werld af de kunstlig Germanisch sprake! Dat is altiid good to see nue folk dat interessere sig. Du fragede warfor wi bruke nik "be-"...

Hei, me again. Another question that arouse while reading the material to FS/MS and FM, what about strong and irregular verbs? The MS and MF grammar state,...
Hi Chris The uberlist4000 file is my creation. as such it may not match the opinions of other group members such as Ingmar/Chamavian. I know the Ingmar's...
Thank you David, for your answer. So we absolutely agree here, I used a similar way in my former IG-creation, including all strong verbs inflections that are...
Hi Chris I set the bar quite high when it comes to irregular parts of the language. Not just any kind of majority but near unanimity. Thanks for the congrats,...
Hi David, the words that I've found unituitive were so from the viewpoint of an english-german-swedish speaker. It have been all words, that I couldn't...
Yes, I'd expect you had trouble with distinguishing long "e" from unstressed schwa. Words such as beger [b@"ge:r] are obviously problematic (means the same as...
Hey all! I'm not exactly new here, but I'm posting for the first time because, well, I think I've finally got the time to have a go at learning Folkspraak! ...
There is no consensus on a standard Folkspraak. Much has been discussed, but little has been settled. There are relatively advanced versions, and others mostly...
Understandable-- conlangs are a very hard beast to tame-- it's hard enough for one person to be satisfied enough with his own conlang to "freeze" or...
Hi, I'm new here, but thought I'd run an idea I had past everybody and see what the reaction is. My idea is for a semi-automated process for choosing new...
No, we should minimize the sum of the SQUARES of the Levenshtein distances (for statistical reasons.) And not to be negative or anything, but I am pretty sure...
I suspected the responses wouldn't be too positive. Just to clarify the point about minimising the sum of the Levenshtein distances: there's no statistical...
If that's how you want to procede, it'd make an interesting experiment, and I'd like to see the results -- I'm just not sure if they would be usable -- I...
I like your idea of using an "outside" language like Spanish in the google translations (subject of course to the obvious flaws in google's translation as you...
I think you could encounter some difficulty. Take for example the German word Zeit and it's close cognate in Dutch tijd. There isn't much common between "Zeit"...
I would like to invite anyone interested to check out my site. I am looking at expanding on Nordien and making it a little more "Inter-Germanic". The address...
Do you have some sort of forum where Neunordien can be discussed? There are a few things that I find troubling. No 1. PG *ô has become a [u] sound. This I...
Thank you for checking out the site and for your comments. I understand that Nordien has issues - it was not originally created to be an "international...
The utility as an international language aside, I have issue with the "authenticness" of the language as a Germanic language since the phonemes in the words I...
Thanks again for taking time to look at the site and for your comments. I do agree about the choice of "van" for "from" and I am working to ensure that the...
Well I am probably being overly harsh about it. Sorry about that. One of things about the Internet is that whatever you put up on it tends to never truely...
From what I read "Nordien is a planned language created for the micronation Nordia, an imaginary land which would lie somewhere in northern Europe. The...
The germanic source languages have a lot of Latin originated words. Sorry to state the obvious. I've notices that in many cases, the latin word has been...
