Languages Every Conlanger Really Ought to Look At...
the-conlinguary:
So I got the idea to do this the other day, and asked around in Freenode’s room #conlang for other people’s perspectives. In any case, here’s a jumping-off point for the potential conlanger. Entries in boldface are the bare-bones, minimum research recommendation; the rest are there for those with more dedicated intent.
A very, very, very, eternally grateful tip o’ the hat to...

When the international boarder between Finland and Sweden was drawn the Finnish-speaking population extended far over the Swedish side. This part of the Finnish-speaking community became isolated. As a result, the dialect of Finnish spoken in this area developed independently of standard Finnish. The result was Meänkieli, an official dialect of Finnish and...

I’d write it except I wouldn’t know what to do. I’d…

Stephen Fry: Do you sometimes think, gosh, the world would be a better place if everyone spoke Esperanto?

It would be a loss if that language did not exist. Oh, I am very much in favour of the tower of Babel!
