General
The majority of my conlangs are Thundercats inspired, for different Thunderian cultures. Ylialis is the major lingua franca (like English is here) and so international standards, including language codes, are generally in Ylialis. To continue the immersion, the conlang pages are written from the point of view of an Ylialis speaker, including writing language and country names in Ylialis. Because, why not make my life that much more difficult?
Cheat sheet:
- common Ylialis affixes:
- -ali- = language (see below for examples)
- -kuli- / -kusli- = speaker of a language, eg: Yliakulis, Okekuslen
- -k- / -kus- = citizen, inhabitant / -ese, -ian, -er. Eg: Lunderka / Lunderkusa = Thunderian / Thunderians, Okekuslen = Okelenese
- -aokwi = related or belonging to / -ish, -ian. eg: Omlirtaokwi = Omlirtean
- Other stuff:
- vor- = family or group in Ravar / Ramalir. Written 'mor-' in Ylialis.

Mostly on hold until more of Maanxmuʃt is done. Five genders, relatively complex consonant clusters, and lots of affixes. Fusional. Weird vowel system caused by past vowel shifts (it looks normal until you look at the IPA...). Phonology and phonotactics are done, the rest is pretty much up in the air.
