Are you someone who knows about Enochian - the Angelic conlang - ?

Am considering buying an Enochian dictionary (but just one) and there are quite a few to choose from so looking for recommendations.

Thanks

"Also I particularly like #Esperanto, not least because it is the creation of one man, not a philologist, and is therefore something like a 'human language bereft of the inconveniences due to too many successive cooks'--which is as good a description of the ideal artificial language (in a particular sense) as I can give."

'Language is “for” communicating, but when we come to such phenomena as #poetry and made-up names and languages, the function of communication and the construction of meaning become as impenetrable to intellect alone as the tune of a song. The writer has to listen. The reader has to hear. Pleasure in articulate sound, and in the symbolic use of it, is what moves the maker of a poem, and also the maker of a fictional language, even if her tongue is the only one that will ever speak it and her ear alone is tuned to it.'

Amused that #Tolkien referred to his lecture on #conlang as "A Secret Vice" as though it were some kink or fetish xD

I somehow seem to be encountering #TokiPona more often lately. Pretty much forgot about the language after learning of its existence from a radio program some twenty years ago, and suddenly I come across people using it somewhat often here on fedi, as well as on #GeminiProtocol.

Mildly curious as to what's drawing people to it.

Stopping early, but got the noun syntax sorted. Counting that as win.

#conlang#DragonSymbiotes

Going with a case/plural system that is loosely based on the person/plural system of Spanish verbs

Nominative -i/-in
Accusative -o/-on
Genitive -u/-ut

not using genders in this language, though I think the marker for 'magical' may evolve into a gender system in other langauges in this family.

#conlang #DragonSymbiotes

Going to add an inflection for 'magical' -- that is items or people that are or have magic. 'ai-' will mark magical nouns.
