My current conlang, Sitryla has a fairly simple set of 11 pronouns (4 singular, 2 dual, 5 plural) The dual pronouns are Alwy and Alha, which are really just shortened versions of 'A li wy' (1SG and 2SG) and 'A li ha' (1SG and 3SG). Since they are derived from those two phrases, the dual pronouns receive singular case marking, but use the plural reflexive pronoun.
"we" can come in three forms; me+you+them (we, our team won), me+you (we two are siblings), me+them (we are going out, do you want to come?). Exclusivity only covers if "you" is included, but "them" can also have a clusivity. There's an interesting language I can't remember the name of, which only has 3 pronouns: me, you, it. It does not have plural, so it doesn't matter how many people are the listeners and how many people are the speakers. So "me" covers the speakers, "you" covers the listeners, and "them" covers the people not present. You can combine these to combine groups of people. "meyou" are all people present in the conversation; "methem" would cover the speakers and some people not present, but not the listeners, "youthem" would cover the listeners and some people not present, and finally "meyouthem" would cover the speakers, the listeners and some other people. So it can differentiate between things English can't, but English can differentiate between things this language can't.
I made it in my language so that any word order is correct. Although you can say slightly different things altering on word order: SVO - He *killed* her SOV - He killed *her* VSO - *He* killed her OVS - Did he *kill* her? VOS - Did he kill *her* ? OSV - Did *he* kill her?
@@b5fremdetalso really cool! Had the same Idea as well! Although being kinda by my mother tongue influenced; German. Which regarding your name might be known to you in some form as well. So I'm not explaining how I got the idea from German lol
Not to be confused by World Order... Something the Germans want to have full power over... Ein Zwei Ein Zwei build an Empire, Drei Vier Drei Vier scheisse, Fünf Sechs Fünf Sechs would be nice, Sieben Acht Sieben Acht in ein alleine nacht. Neun Zehn Neun Zehn Just kidding...
I've made a kind of gender system for my language, the gender of things are determined by their properties, or how they are perceived. There are 4; courageous/heroic/strong, angstly/vulnerable, mystic/simply unknown/neutral and evil/dangerous/unholy and these "genders" can be used in literal world and stories etc. to emphasize how different characters currently act or are perceived, and it's also an insult to use the unholy "nesâs" form for People in person, and a sign of respect, to show the heroic form "kurâs". Also, unlike in most european language, every pronoun has a form for every gender. Not like in English, just the 3rd person singular, but all. Kinda like in French, although you use for yourself "I" or "Je" to refer to yourself, but if you're female, you actually have to use the feminine form of an adjective etc. Also the pronouns are adjusted for the tenses etc. Like, not "He did it", more like "Past-he does it" and all that + all the different case dorms, so yeah, I got many pronouns
Mālu uses VSO (kinda, verb is inflected by pronoun but not written independently). Object is always marked as accusative, so free word order is possible. You are going to use it VSO if you don't mark it though. Pronouns: 1sg, 2sg, inanimate and animate 3sg, inclusive and exclusive 1pl, 2pl and 3pl.
I am not sure if I haven't just quiet listened well if you've ever said this, but how would you show ownership since you are not having the possessive case?
Nice. I have paused from conlanging and from developing my current conlang that I input in my laptop for the reason I'm being too lazy. I don't really focus more on phonemic inventory and everytime just end up using English's alphabet. After watching your first video that's about phonemic inventory, I gained inspiration.
In my conlang {still under construction} I only have three pronouns ana { I } anto {you} anti { he/ she / it } I am thinking about including gender and marking things as either culturally significant or insignificant or some other arbitrary category. Right now the word prutsib { cat } and xraspiv { dog } have no distinct marking Xraspiv prutsib tom > the cat sees the dog. I'm considering adding polypersonal agreement on the verb that will change depending on what category noun the subject and object are. Maybe the vowel undergoes umlaut so from Tom to tum or tem maybe the final m becomes a k in certain dialects. So maybe you can say something like prutsib xraspiv tom But not prutsib xraspiv tom. You have to use tuk
Nice, OSV, the least common word order. Your personal pronouns are kinda similar, which will be hard to distinguish in rapid speech, is that an intentional feature?

Polish what you currently have is subtracting vowels and adding consonants, specially cz digraphs and diacritics.
Ops, sorry, that was czeching what I currently have… my mistake!
Yet another great video! I learnt some new stuff about languages like german, other than making them, so that was new and nice :D

V2 Word order... is the name for the Germanic word order. English used to have it too in the past.

I used the word "of" (my language's equivalent)
For example:
De Hundog ö aki
(The dog of me)
Nice.

I'm glad hear that I've inspired you, good luck with conlanging! There are plenty of things out there to help if needed!
