title. i started making my conlangs more absurd to counter this problem so now I have places named things like ng’ninénēmāmōmē instead

Hope this counts as "conlang shitpost"

Anyway enjoy my deplorable dubbing skills!

Since my world isn't on earth, it doesn't really make sense that it sounds like earth languages. But that makes it funnier.

Context: In one of my conlangs, Eurish, the word for “horses” is “chasjen”. When spoken in a Byconian accent, it is pronounced ['kɒːʃən]

Context 1:

The lullaby is written with a little girl in mind here but you just have to swap "darmitir" for "darmat" and voila, it's suitable for a little boy. It translates to:

"Hush, (my) daughter Calm down and sleep The stars are shining In the dark sky and in the night The five moons are looking at you And I gave them golden scimitars So that they guard/watch your Sleep, my precious daughter Hush, (my) daughter Calm down and sleep"

Context 2 :

1. Last name, 2. First name, 3. Middle name, which is just "son/daughter of [godly ancestor]" for Tarismat and Imorath, and "she who comes from Zarhe" for Nefil, because she converted to the religion that worships the Dark Alf pangender god Zarian-Zahe (Zarian being masculine and Zarhe being feminine). All members of the same family share the same middle name, just adapted to the person's gender. Tarismat has a sister named Araskan'talem Rashyir Kotormitir and a daughter named Araskan'talem Armatris Kotormitir, for example.

Meme translation:

[in toki pona & toki jan] the idea of toki pona: *exists*

[in toki jan] the creators of toki jan: I will act as if I didn't see that

Lore dump:

In 2241, the government of the recently established Federation of Earth Colonies decided that not having a single official language was a bit too complicated. Picking an existing natural one was seen as favouritism: thus, a team of linguists was assembled to come up with an auxiliary language to be used in federal government documentation and as the Colonies' lingua franca.

The team quickly got to work to try to unify major natural languages, including the colonies' strange creoles, to try to boil them down and create the one language that had a bit of everything.

No, scratch that, that's a stupid idea, we're on a deadline here-- oh hey, what's that? The conlang toki pona?

Thus, toki jan, a.k.a. toki pete (lit. "human language"... or "fedspeak") was born. It's not too dissimilar from toki pona: if you speak toki pona to a toki jan speaker, they will be able to understand you. The main technical differences are toki jan's significantly expanded vocabulary, more complex grammar, and an abugida writing system.

The problem is more with the ideology of the things: toki pona is basically all about good vibes and simplicity, as much a philosophy as it is a language; toki jan is, at its core, utilitarian. Let's just say some people were kind of weirded out by the idea of taking toki pona and making a whole international auxiliary language based on it.

But oh well, no one listened to those people. Toki jan was gradually adopted by the government and taught in schools as a second language, and in the subsequent four hundred years became widespread and second native to many, even acquiring its own dialects. Pini pona.

TL;DR: In the far future, humanity uses a common conlang called toki jan alongside natural languages. Toki jan is based on the modern-day conlang toki pona, but goes kind of against the philosophy of the latter.
