typh is considering stopping esperanto and learning another conlang in its stead. what should i do
keep in mind im also learning french and japanese
it seems the croud consensus is that i slow down on esperanto but don't give up on it completely
i'm down. okay, so what conlang should i focus on in its stead? im not gonna make this one a poll cos there are so many, just tell me what your recommendations are
a literal cat 
@typhlosion@awoo.space i'm figuring that a lot of people will have solid suggestions of specific conlangs, but I wanted to toss this one into the pile, just in case: what about making your own?
@InspectorCaracal i am like, constantly devoting 1% of my brainpower to thinking about this exact thing
tbh i need to just sit down and develop a grammar and get cracking on a swadesh list or something
@InspectorCaracal japanese has been really inspirational tbh! it's always fun to have your brain very slightly broken by a language with a grammar that's pretty different from your own
somehow i already have two really sophisticated writing systems developed and i dont even have the language yet
(well i have the phonotactics because they informed how the scripts work but not the language itself)
@InspectorCaracal i'll post more about those writing systems at some point! probably when i have, uh, something to write in them
@typhlosion@awoo.space also, if you like playing with conlang but find yourself overwhelmed by the task of inventing vocabulary, may I suggest Vulgar Lang https://www.vulgarlang.com/
@InspectorCaracal honestly the task of inventing vocabulary isn't as onerous as the decisions regarding what should be a root vs what should be a compound or built in some other way
@typhlosion@awoo.space haha, yeahhh <.< or the underlying cultural implications of which words have multiple synonyms or antonyms, or which meanings are collected into the same word, not to mention homophones and homonyms....
@InspectorCaracal yeeeeeah ;w; it's a lot
@typhlosion@awoo.space woe for the ease of people who don't Care Too Much
@typhlosion@awoo.space conlanging is GREAT
I have an extremely slow-progress conlang I've been dabbling with for ages and it's loads of fun, especially if you ignore the criticisms of people whose idea of a conlang is 50% academic linguistics jargon
