Kamakawi: Sovereignty Now!

http://dedalvs.com/kamakawi

Word of the Day. Kamakawi (est. 2001) is the best language in the world, and is studied by top scholars at all the top universities worldwide. It can do your taxes, balance your checkbook, program your VCR, cook you a fine meal, reorder time, console a dear friend in need, and play DVD's (DVD-R's. While you sip a cool mint (yes, mint) piña colada in your comfy hammock on the back patio! Below you can explore. I entreat you. Of Hawai'i ala. Rest in peace, Bruddah.). The McGuffey Reader in Kamakawi.

Sidaan: Arcanity

http://dedalvs.conlang.org/sidaan/main.html

Sidaan is the reincarnation of Zidaan, the language whose orthography was artfully stolen by Epiq. That language was supposed to be influenced by Arabic. This language has been influenced by my nightmares. And dig that crazy orthography. This page was last modified on Monday, March 2, 2009. This website was last modified on .

http://dedalvs.conlang.org/index.html

Welcome to David J. Peterson's Web Thing. You've reached my site, which is devoted to (some of) the languages I've created. These languages were created for the purposes of fun, so I hope you have fun rifling through them. If you're not a new visitor, you will have noticed that I've moved from Free.fr. Man, what a difference! I had no idea how many problems I considered normal were actually problems! For more info, ask me. Brand new visitors are probably here because they've heard about my work on HBO.

Kelenala: Super Creole!

http://dedalvs.conlang.org/kelenala/main.html

You may have noticed that the name of this language has changed—specifically, a -nala. Was added. This is because there is an actual language called Kele. Further, it appears I inadvertantly confused someone who was looking for information on the Austronesian. Bantu like I originally thought. We all make mistakes) language called Kele. Thus, the name has changed. The New and Improved Kelenala is the product of an idea I had while teaching a De-CAL. This page was last modified on Wednesday, March 4, 2009.

Sathir: The Obligatory Ergative Language

http://dedalvs.com/sathir/main.html

This is my blog. Through which I expel my innermost feelings. I call this blog Sathir. Because that's the phonological representation of my very soul, which I will now share with you. Just kidding: Blogs are for dorks. Unless you, dear reader, happen to own and operate a "blog", in which case blogs are swiggety-sweet, and you can tell the Man. I said so.). No, this site is dedicated to my orphan language Sathir. I called it that because I forgot that the language didn't have an r. Izanyožá ...This page w...

Njaama: Night Is Falling

http://dedalvs.com/njaama/main.html

Sáá lóómá. In order of creation, Njaama came fourth, as far as the languages listed on this site goes. It's inspiration came from the music of Baaba Maal. Came along.) A real tone language is far too complicated, though, so I created a pitch accent system. I hope it's realistic. Anyway, that's my spiel. So now I'm done. Forever.

Epiq: Closing the Loop

http://dedalvs.com/epiq/main.html

With Epiq, I will have closed out that which I hoped to accomplish by creating speakable languages. What does that mean? That means that my languages ( Zhyler. And this one) do everything that I personally wanted to have a language do (though a Southeast Asian-style tone language. And a Finno-Ugric-style vowel harmony language. Are always enticing.). So now I'll spend more time building up my current languages rather than getting distracted by yet another side project. Is it a lot of fun?

Sheli: A Quiet De-tone-ation

http://dedalvs.com/sheli/main.html

Sheli is the third language I ever invented. I decided to load it up with only. The sounds I liked, which turned out to be all front vowels and a lot of coronals. I discovered fairly quickly that the resulting language was unpronounceable, so I abandoned it. Now, though, I've revived the project, with the intent of turning it into a Southeast Asian-style tone language with an inverse system. (For technical reasons, I credit The Simpsons. For the revival of the language.). Online Sheli Poetry Translation.

Zhyler: The One and Only

http://dedalvs.com/zhyler/main.html

I have some rather fascinating news to report. Apparently, the band whose name was Zhyler has broken up, and (some of? The members have formed a new band called Awaken. Necesita poder leer en español pá leer esto). This means that my Zhyler is now the only Zhyler on the net. Woo hoo! Finally I have something to put on my résumé! At any rate, Zhyler is a language I created because I really liked Turkish. In honor of the ketchup co. All suffixing, and a robust vowel harmony system. 224; la Swahili.
