Description

Romconlang is devoted to the hypothetical offspring of Latin, the language of one of the most highly civilised people that Europe has ever seen, and its sister languages. No-one can deny that the Romance languages are among the most beautiful in the world, and here we try to echo and add to that beauty with or own Romance languages.

Although the primary focus of this group is constructed languages, in particular those made for artistic reasons or just for pleasure, the discussion of Romance linguistics in general (including historical and theoretical linguistics) is welcome too. Discussion is also encouraged of "the Craft": conlang methods, software, websites, inspiration, history, etc. International Auxiliary Languages (Euroclones, Esperantoids) may be discussed in linguistic terms, but it should be clear that this is not the place for promoting them.

Romconlang is the successor of Romanceconlang. The reason we moved here, is that its owner had lost the possibility to manage the group, which made it an easy target for spammers. The archives of Romanceconlang can still be accessed at the group page, and are also available here.

This list is unmoderated, but flaming, spam and other abuses will not be tolerated. Please treat all other members with respect. It should perhaps be pointed out explicitly that this group deals with Romance languages, and not with the kind of romance that usually culminates in a mass-purchase of diapers.

What is the word for cheeks in your romlang?
I would use something similar to bucca for mouth because of vulgar latin, but then I have no word for cheeks left. Eat probably is magulare in my language.

I just found the numbers 'decapenta' for fifteen and 'decapenta bis' for thirty in the medieval book 'Ruodlieb'. Are there more of these numbers in medieval

Re: Shall we create a chat room to use romlangs?
Backtracking quite a bit, but I'm just throwing in some clarifications (and maybe another penny's worth of thoughts). I don't have much input on many later
