One of my older paintings inspired by Mongolian, Turkic and Altaic mythology. Almost 8 years (!) ago that I made this one while doing a mentorship.

I worked many, many hours on this piece and gave myself plenty of room to make mistakes, something that was essential to my growth as an artists at the time. I am still trying to find the time to go back to study and learn, and see how to bring my skillset to the next level.

Cheers!

Pamboreal (pan-Borean): describes the conlanging with and neolingos deriving Borean languages

Panaltaic (pan-Altaic): Altaic conlanging and neolingos

Panostratic (pan-Nostratic): Nostratic neolangs and conlingos

The term pan comes from zonal auxiliary or codified interlanguage varieties, such as pan-Romance and pan-Germanic.

Blending examples: axyogul; sålkã; cæphø.

Korean date at the coffee shop!

fun fact: Did you know that Turkish and Korean come from the same root, Altaic?

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

one last thing about Ratte's dissertation: while his reconstruction of Proto-Japo-Koreanic is completely incompatible with previous attempts to include the family into (Macro-)Altaic, Ratte is nonetheless hopeful the bottom-up application of the comparative method might, with time, reveal connections of Japo-Koreanic to other language families. in particular, he entertains the possibility of Japo-Koreanic being more distantly related to Tungusic for like, two entire sentences—Tungusic, as most of you know, being among the core three families included in Altaic

I think it would be pretty neat if some variety of Macro-Altaic turned out to be real, while Altaic proper (i.e. the proposed family consisting of Mongolic, Tungusic and Turkic) turned out to be paraphyletic. the world aims to surprise

I miss when I was in highschool and obsessed w archaeolexicology. Just learned "wolf" in Mongolian is "chono". What the fuck

2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): this artifact was crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact

This stuffed bird was sealed in the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that sits just beneath the barrows provides an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produce a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in preservation.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

ok

Painting I made from quiet a few years ago, where I was heavily inspired by Altaic cultures. This is a Tungusic/Siberian huntress with her trusted companion.

Hope you like the piece!

Best,

To save time and allow further customization, I'm going to give the stats in my indie tabletop RPG proto-Indo-European names and include optional rules for linguistic evolution.

Real reasons to study Latin:

Construct spurious Latin plurals for non-Latin words

Give words which do have Latin roots the wrong Latin plurals

Understand all the stupid puns in species/genus nomenclature

Make complicated dick jokes only other Latin students understand

Give the stats in your indie tabletop RPG really annoying names

i had a history professor (of east asia specifically) in uni who referred to the Altaic language family as if it were a real thing. it's baffling to me how much traction that ridiculous idea still has -- though it's in no small part bc ppl dont care abt the languages called Altaic

Language families in Europe

Not 100% about the main discussion but if I would share my own experience as a language learner, duolingo's unnecessary competitive way of teaching always bothered me. It was nice at first, but as you go on more and more days and building your rank higher and higher...it is not about learning the language anymore. It turns into a horse race.

I was studying German and Japanese on that app but since the day I discovered the japanesepod101.com and innovativelanguage.com 's other language teaching sites and their youtube channels, I have been improving way better! I am able to read paragraphs in Hiragana and Katakana very well and now I'm studying the Kanji and everyday phrases. All though my improvement in Japanese is probably because of my native tongue - Turkish - being a sister language with Japanese (Ural-Altaic language family) i think with innovativelanguage everyone can pull the language learning off! AND NO THIS IS NOT SPONSORSHIP. I JUST RESPECT AND LOVE THEIR TEACHING METHODS.

Edıt: Thank you for the people who informed me about the real relationship with Turkish and Japanese! My debatable statement was rather arrogant I assume. So I apologize for the misinformation. Long live the Turkic family!
