SUPERBASIC FULL CONLANG STARTERPACK
By Sanh Deda · conlangconcept.alle.bg · meanaworld.alle.bg
Basically tried to create a kit for express creation of fairly good (although lexically limited) conlangs. It contains 8 pronoun categories,
9 basic conjunctions/adverbs, 13 adpositions/cases and modal verbs, and 52 other words – with derivation suggestions and hints.
je, nous [and their variations]
toi [and their variations]
ils [and their variations]
tous, chaque, chaque, Oui, universe
Non, nothing, neither
ce, ce [and their variations]
quelques, n'importe lequel, a few, whatever
what, OMS, où, quand
Think of honorifics,
vocatif, and formality
Can merge both, or use
“ce” for inanimate 3P
Do you want dual or
paucal?
Spanish uses “que” pour
“what”, “ce”, et “than”
et, ainsi, donc, aussi
mais, in contrary, plutôt
ou, either … or, whether
ce [conj], qui [rel. pron.], À, than, comme
encore, toujours, unprepared
already, prêt
a lot, many, beaucoup
more
less
You can build superlative
Utilisant “more/less than all”.
There might be adjective
inflections meaning “very”,
like guapísima in Spanish
You have to choose your alignment, and which case is unmarked (si
applicable). How do morphosyntactic alignment and number interact?
for the sake of, dedicated to, instead of or BENEFACTIVE
vers, for or ALLATIVE
depuis, because of or ABLATIVE
près, par, together with or PROXIMITIVE/COMITATIVE
dans, à, on or LOCATIVE
comme, -ish [adjective derivation or SEMBLATIVE]
away from, hors, without or ABESSIVE
à travers, à travers, according to or PERLOCATIVE
circle → around or CIRCUMLATIVE
utiliser [v] → with, par (par exemple. Utilisant) or INSTRUMENTAL
How do you derive verbs from nouns? Do they have an
infinitive form (Bulgarian hasn’t)? Do your verbs express
passé, non-past, other tenses, and if the action is or will be
complet? Continuous aspect? Person and animacy? Is
evidentiality/certainty part of the conjugation, or do you
use auxiliaries or modal verbs to say “maybe”, “should be”,
“is said to be”, “could happen”? Do you differentiate
between realis and irrealis moods? How do you give orders
in your language, are there levels of politeness?
Do you have a copula (verbe “to be”)? How do you say “À
devenir” ou “to be a teacher” (Russian uses instrumental)?
peut [v], capacité, strong
will, vouloir [v], commande [v]
besoin [v], doit [v], devoir [v], devoir
How do you treat
modal verbs and
modal
constructions?
How do you say “grand-parent”?
Are kinship terms gendered?
How do you form mass
nouns (tree → forest,
book → library)?
human, person → man, femme, folk, personnes, tribu
enfant, progéniture
parent, care [v]
frère et sœur, cousin
nature, sauvage, normal
société, cultiver [v] → crops
tree → wood, forêt
grassland, herbe, champ
fruit → fertile, riche, abondant
complet, complet, continuer [v], fulfill [v], satisfy [v]
désert, void → dry, pauvre, scarce, empty, hungry
montagne, colline, pile
mer, ocean → salt
eau (frais) → lake, rivière
Where does your
conculture live? Quoi
items or phenomena
are significiant there?
In case you use
“excluding” et
“encountering”,
think of participle
formation. Do
actif (et
passif) participles
indicate time? Peut
they be used
predicatively?
What creatures and
beings inhabit your
monde? Think of what
your conculture uses for
food and what they
have to defend
themselves from,
customize your vocab.
le
You can replace the
passive voice with
actif
generic
(“Stole
car”
instead of “The car
stolen”) ou
était

it with an
auxiliary verb +
passive participle.
