Talk:Khemehekis Conlanger Taxonomy

Thanks for adding this! I think it's a very useful alternative to the venerable GnT. Elemtilas (talk) 17:56, 23 September 2019 (PDT)

You're welcome! Feel free to discuss it on the places where you're not banned. And I wish to thank you for finding good categories for it! Khemehekis (talk) 18:18, 23 September 2019 (PDT)

Nice stuff! However, I feel that it focuses too much on people making fictional languages. Not all conlangs are set in a conworld; most engelangs aren't, nor are (usually) auxlangs. It would be better to replace "conworld" with some broader term such as "project", or whatever to call a set of conlangs that somehow belong together (a suite of conlangs, perhaps?). --WeepingElf (talk) 07:23, 26 September 2019 (PDT)

Thanks for the input. I actually originally envisaged making replacers a type of auxlang or engelang creator who considers each new auxlang or engelang superior to the previous one and has it replace it -- Petro Stojan, for instance, created Eo, Espo, Idido, Liana, Linga franka, Ariana ("There are no tears left to cry"), Amiana, Renova, Spiranta, Uniala, and Unita (although I'm not sure in what order]]. Andrew Nowicki, creator of the engelang Ygyde, first developed a conlang called Ebubo and had Ygyde replace it. After I wrote the name down, however, I forgot my original intentions when it came time to type up the descriptions. Most auxlangers seem, to me, to be loyalists. Sonja Lang is probably a loyalist too -- she's done so much work with Toki Pona, and yet I've never heard of her creating another conlang! Khemehekis (talk) 16:05, 29 September 2019 (PDT)

I have made some tweaks on my page on this taxonomy. Khemehekis (talk) 21:00, 3 October 2019 (PDT)
