My pfp's over time
This image has been the first and only pfp of my main acount.
The only reason why I dont change it is because litterally no one can tell what it is when its far away,
And its fun getting data, the most common answer is "a horse"
This was an extremely short lived one for my alt-accounts.
If you knew me back then, I bet you wouldn't have remembered this pfp
A very long-lasting pfp for my social media accounts and alt-discord! only semi-recently went out of use.
ah, the komi pfp, my most favourite one out of them all!
this is the pfp I currently have, and will likely continute having for a very long time.
It communicates the exact vibe I want to give off
My names over time
- Pidgeon
- The begining name from which everything else derived from.
I dont remember why I made it Pidgeon, most likely to do with my pfp at the time - Pijieboi
- This was the name given to me when I joined a discord server dedicated to speaking "maunspeak", basically a englished derived conlang.
The morphology is probably somethign likePijie"pidgeon" +-boi"some agentive / name suffix?" - Taube
- This was from my first username "pidgeon" translated into german, nothing much else to add.
- Täubchen
- At some point, I decided to add a diminuative
-chensuffix to the name, I forgot exactly why I did this - Täub
- A friend started saying my username without the
-chensuffix, leaving just the umlaut. I thought it sounded cute, so I made the change to my username - Tabby
- While chatting to a friend about new names inspired by täub, he just randomly suggested Tabby?
I cant tell whats more cursed, the fact that Tabby is technically from täub, from whence it is related to Pidgeon. or the fact that it is techincally a true statement to say that fucking Fennek named me.
Honerable mention
- The Tabster
- A goofy nick-name a friend calls me every now and then, derived from a clipping of Tabby +
-ster"agentitive suffix???"
- Tabatha
- A longer version of "tabby", also subsiquently an actual name people are called. This is mainly used when one wants to use be "full-name" when scolding.
about me
I am 16 years old. I am diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, so unless you are interested in the same hyperspecific topic I am, I am a dull conversation partner. my favourite color is a blueish-violet. my native language is english, my most profitiant L2 is german (aber, bitte könnten Sie sich mit mir darauf nicht unterhalten... meine Deutschfähigkeit ist mir sehr peinlich ;w;). I can barely speak some esperanto because someone just forced me to immerse in it.
what I do
I do an assortment of things, usually infrequently depending on my mood. sometimes I make small videos, and sometimes I try making cordage from any fibres I found outside (results vary). The projects I work on are usually only based on the humour I find in them, so I do alot of bits. I also find it relaxing to take images with a really old digital camera I have, they look nice to me. but by far the most frequent thing I do is conlanging!
what do I mean by "conlanging"
It's always hard for me to accurately describe what conlanging is without under- or overselling it. but bassically, conlanging is the concept of "making a language".
now saying that alone is overselling it, because most conlangs will never have anywhere near the intricacies/expresive power of natural languages. But we still try our best to emulate them.
When Conlangs are first mentioned, people may think that they are usually either:
1) not very complicated, being closer to a relex (relex =, just a swap-out of the words) of the persons native language, low effort, childish.
2) close to real processes that make natural languages, thought out.
And I hope you can trust me when I say that most conlangs/conlangers are closer to 2) than they are to 1). I try hard to apply actual linguistic phenomena / reasoning to my conlangs.
What conlangs do I make
I mainly make personal conlangs, usually based on some diacronics because that gives me the most resorces to experement with things, and because it's more nautralistic!
How long have I been conlanging for
I have been conlanging for around 2-ish years, in fact, its the longest hobby/interest I have ever had, and I dont see that stopping any time soon. I cant remember exactly how I discovered it, likely through jan-misali's "conlang critic" if I had to guess.
What have I to show for all this time
unfortunately, very little in actual conlangs. If you count the shortly abandonded works, I have over 60 spreadsheets and 3 notebooks worth of ideas that I at one point in my life worked on, at least before I got bored after a day or week and decided to start a new conlang idea.
the only (active) conlang that I actually have is cryšk, pronounced [aˈɾiʃka] with IPA. If you cant read IPA, an american english aproximation is |a-dEEsh-kah|, or |a-rEEsh-kah| depending on If you want an english-rhotic.
