Arknights: Durin Conlang
So... I just learned that Arknights and its world of Terra has its own version of the vertically challenged underground-dwelling comedy relief people. so, like any sane artist I decided that they too will get their own language alongside the other languages I have cooking for the other nations (which I should make a list for, like the Mass Effect one).
in under an hour of brainstorming, I know these things will be featured:
Grammatical features will be governed by affixes that change and or remove the existing phonemes/suprasegmentals of the root word. in other words, changing the stress and/or tone, the place/ manner of articulation of the consonants, and/or the openness, frontness, nasality, length, voicing, etcetera of the vowel will determine things like tense, plurality, person, and other features that I haven't seen in any other natural or constructed language.
Derivational affixes (those that change the definition of the word itself down to whether it's now a noun or a verb) will use the more traditional prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes, and the rare infix. as well as good old compounding.
derivation includes a tool for doing the verb, a person who does the verb, and the person who is the receiver of the verb. e.g. "weapon", "warrior/soldier", and "murder victim" could have the same root.
the two systems above have their own metaphorical terms to describe how they work and are viewed by native speakers. respectively, they are called "Sculpture" and "decoration". with grammar being viewed as -- in this case -- literally changing and refining the shape of the word. while the derivations are viewed as adding little touches to an already finished work.
The phonology of this language will have lots of plosive. perhaps in addition to using most places of articulation, they are more diversified by secondary articulations like aspiration, palatalization, labialization. maybe there are additional phonemes such as affricates, nasal releases, lateral releases, rhotic releases, that will drive up that plosive count.
Syllables might have plosives and/or affricates in the onset and the other consonants like nasals and liquids in the coda. this is based on English onomatopoeia like "bam", "clang", "crash", etcetera. a sort of friendly acknowledgement at the literary roots that the race is no doubt based on.
These are the things that I am most sure to include in the final version of the language. but they are also subject to change. already I am wondering if I should switch the morphological nature of the grammar and derivational morphologies. seeing as derivation is more like changing the shape of a word more deeply while morphology is more like the bits and pieces you would add afterwards. what would you think?
there are also some features I am considering but not yet sure about committing to just yet. some of those features being:
subject and object person being marked by the manner of articulation in the onset and coda.
tense/aspect/mood/other marking via the properties of the vowel in the root's nucleus.
direction words encoding three-dimensional information due to living in an underground maze-like environment.
a metaphor for time going from light to dark.
This is all I got for now, I'll try to keep you updated on any progress. till then, feedback is appreciated. till next time... ;).

Yes, Ideal City has given us no shortage of revelations, but I think we’re sleeping on the real heart of the matter, the blood of the subject, the essence of it all:
Durin is no longer the shortest Operator in Arknights. Give it up for Stitch Canvas!

My question is will they have Marcille listed as an elf or not
Even if they don’t I feel like her and Muelsyse would have a hell of a conversation given their similar hangups

Stultifera Navis: Among the wreckage of technology far more advanced than our own, we managed to reverse engineer our Hands of the Saint, one of our only true weapons against the Seaborn scourge, a genuine marvel of AEgir and Terra technology that can be outfitted with various functionalities hyper optimized to fight against the monsters from the ocean. However, given the limits of technology and the nature of our enemy, we can usually only afford one or two special traits on the device, so we must use our limited supply wisely, if not because without them there are simply a meager projectile.
Ideal City: dude we got SO fucking drunk and made a car out of junk that can just utterly annihilate giant robots and we pimped it out to do like six different things because it looks sick as hell. Also we have machines that can just spit as many of them out as we want

For a while I thought that the Durin were supposed to be based off of bugs because for a while the only ones were Durin (who had a very basic design) and Myrtle, who had butterfly motifs, so when Minimalist came out and he didn't have, like, carpenter ant imagery in his E2 art, I was immensely disappointed.
