"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.'

PHP people,

I'm trying to convert some python that I wrote many years ago to #PHP. The code takes a word (string) and converts it into IPA(International Phonetic Alphabet) based on an alphabet character=>IPA dictionary (array).

In Python every string is an array, but in PHP it's not.

How do I iterate over a string not just seeking for individual characters but also for groups of characters? For instance the word 'light' I'd want to seek for 'igh', which would be converted to 'aɪ'

TIA

Edit: With loads of help from lots of people, especially @inguin, I now have this sorted (I think). Thanks to everyone.

After reading a thread on Lemmy about Flatpaks, I was reminded of a frustrating incident.

For those that don't know, I'm a Conlanger. I construct my own languages. For this, I use many tools including one called PolyGlot, that allows me to create and store a lexicon for each of my languages.

I've been using PolyGlot for many years, and as I run Linux the only way to install and update the app was to download the deb for each update. Fortunately, there was a 'check for updates' under the about section that would automagically take you to the download page.

For much of the time I've been using the app, it's been mostly programmed by one guy. As a result, updates only happen every year. So, I'd only use the check for updates when I remembered.

Recently, the developer has received some help, and there has been some big changes. All good. The release schedule has improved considerably.

So one day, I check for updates, and there's an update. I'm taken to the page to download the latest deb, download it, and it won't install. There's a dependency missing on my system. I file a bug report, and next day I receive an apology for the mess-up, and this....

"Why don't you install the flatpak instead?"

WHAT FUCKING FLATPAK? I ask.

Yes, they've been releasing a flatpak for about a year, and didn't bother to tell established users about it. While it's mentioned on the main page, there's no reference to it on the download page. The only one I visit (every year or so).

So, now I use the flatpak, and it automagically updates by itself. Which is great, but still frustrating that I could have been doing this for a year longer. At least they now mention flatpaks on the download/update page.

Dear conlanging fediverse,

Where do people share and discuss their conlangs nowadays? I lurked at the ZBB back in 2008-2009 a bit. What places should I check out now in 2025?

I think I'm looking for a chat or forum where people share their struggles and joys while they're conlanging. Maybe also a place where people share their (more finished) works and ask for feedback/critique too.

found a link after all, which was enough to find it in the web archive. I'll leave the old images here without explanation or image description, gotta go date lesbians. I have a number of improvements in mind for this script, and I guess I'll now have to rename it to something else; but I don't promise anything, dunno if I'll be in the mood for it.

tagging so I find it later: #linguistics #conlang #conscript #neography

ESPERANTO

Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo, Sankta estu Via nomo.
Venu reĝeco Via. Estu volo Via, kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.
Panon nian ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.
Kaj pardonu al ni ŝuldojn niajn, kiel ni ankaŭ pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.
Ne konduku nin en tenton, sed liberigu nin de la malvera:
Ĉar Via estas la regado, la forto, kaj la gloro eterne.
Amen.

(Tradukis L.L. Zamenhof, 1887)

MINI LINGA (Mini Language)

Mi-ale fami,
Ke e en selo,
Tu name e santi.
Tu tera i veni,
Tu vole i veni,
En tera, sama selo.
I dona go mi
En di sole a sole pan,
An i dona de a mi mala,
Sama ke mi i dona de
A mala de ota man.
I no kapo go kali a mi,
Pero i toma de mala a mi.
Tera, poten, an mega name
E Tu, go ale tempo.
Amen.

GLOBASA

Imisu Patre, hu yu is in Teodom:
Yusu name am besantogi.
Yusu wangoya am ata.
Yusu wole am befale
denpul in Dunya kom in Teodom.
Am gibe tas imi nundina imisu moydinali roti,
ji am mafu imisu galfale,
denpul kom imi mafu dente hu da galfale anti imi,
ji am no izin tas imi na sokutu in yoho,
mas am hurugi imi of buruya.
Koski yusu to is wangoya,
ji kowa, ji dayxerafu,
dur he moywatu.
Amen.
