On Hanying and Creole Adjustment

Another quick query: while Hanying to the majority of those frequenting the ZBB is likely to be just a distant hope, the information available about it suggests it to be not merely a creole, but one that has evolved over thousands of years, with a fair bit of reborrowing from its mother languages.

Re: Neo-Sóßtèlaña Scratchpad

On the Basics of Roots All roots in Sóßtèlaña have either a biconsonantal or a triconsonantal root form, from which all other words in the language can be derived. (There are of course a number of borrowings, but these tend to differ between dialects.) Usually these variations are distinguishable f...

Re: Neo-Sóßtèlaña Scratchpad

Phonology and Orthography There are technically two Latinizations of Sóßtèlaña, each derived from a specific transcription into other languages. The older and more popular, Risòp Èhoñaçòn / Risop Ehuña∫on or 'Ounhaçenhi Script', was worked out for the Ajgeshan dialect in the Ounhaçenhi alphabet, ba...

On Socionomics and Directors

There is one thing that puzzled me about Against Peace And Freedom , namely the lack of socionomics under Kumari's regime. Certainly, there seem to have been tendencies to use socionomic principles (something I think Morgan comments on in the book), but the actual practice seems to have been discour...
