CCC3 Entry: Tamarian

[@stephenkramer7157]

Truly, Tamarian was the first cursed conlang. We are just living in its shadow.

[@lilamjazeefa9466]

Forming out complete versions of obscure conlangs from existing IPs is underrated. Also kudos for the writing system aesthetics

[@ScienceMeetsFiction]

This is an absolutely incredible piece of work and possibly the greatest feat of linguistic construction in the entire Circus. I never imagined I would see a reconstruction of Tamarian that would leave me believing it could actually exist. The only drawback is that it might not be cursed enough because it feels too naturalistic for that.

[@getoutofZEWEI]

Love the way the writing looks!!

[@paconoack8548]

Oh, dang. It’s the future contest winner! Thanks, I probably spent way more time on it than I should’ve, just to get it to look right. Surprisingly hard to come up with distinguishable letters that weren’t a pain to hand write given the constraints I put on myself.

Everybody knows zewei to uganda. *clicking noises

[@SupahTrunks7]

you’ve DONE IT you’ve created believable tamarian! Eyes truly uncovered with this one

[@cjayhay]

Not only a fascinating piece of conlanging work, but the whole sequence of Uba teaching her granddaughter the Tamarian creation myth was genuinely moving and beautiful. Bravo!

[@paconoack8548]

@@cjayhay Thanks! I hope the little nod to TNG S6E20 "The Chase" came through

[@Jpteryx]

The writing system was done in Desmos? That’s such a cool method. Also, AMAZING work making the language from “Darmok” make sense in terms of how it works, how it originated and was learned. I like the contrastive vibrato.

Tamarian youth culture which values personal personal & alternative references as much as mythical references resulting in a group of individuals in the old-european-culture microculture of the earth-culture appreciation subculture who start speaking a primarily Ulysses-based dialect as a joke for about 2 hours after writing that sentence, i no longer perceive culture as the correct spelling of culture

[@wynnexed]

Okay, this is really really cool, and also a specific brand of nerdery I do not personally have the stamina for. I love this.

[@CuriosityCore101]

Absolutely fantastic! I'm extremely impressed.

[@Lichenthefictioneer]

Nice work! And always fun to see another Tamarian-inspired language :)

[@JohnSmith-of2gu]

You went above and beyond the call of duty with this Clon, not only making the mad grammar but creating multiple levels of Tamarian mythology to make it work! You really end this on a bombshell though, saying you wrote the entire script in a Tumblr draft! Does MS Word not work? "never write long passage in a website draft function" was drilled into me hard.

[@paconoack8548]

@@JohnSmith-of2gu Listen, I liked being able to tap and drag around paragraphs blocks. Plus Tumblr is actually pretty good at saving and holding onto drafts, lol.

[@NStripleseven]

28:26 Any time you can say you used Desmos to make a conlang you know you’ve done something right

[@plasticfacedvillian4779]

Please keep doing what you're doing. This is really great stuff! It's a nice treat for those that are into conlanging. I'm currently in the process of making my own conlang, and stuff like this really inspires me

[@rogercruz1547]

Not wanting to alarm you but "brain rot meme culture" speaks exactly that way. Or should I say "skibidi, in the toilet - Their old fellow greets hey there - kids of skinner that must be wrong."
