    Inkling Fan Language Sister Project: Octoling Language

    I actually took a brief look at what they had in that folio. This actually does give good insight on how close the two languages are connected (i.e. whether or not they are as mutually intelligible as I initially perceived it to be, how many words are direct cognates, etc.). So in doing this...

    Inkling Fan Language Sister Project: Octoling Language

    I am going to necromance this thread solely because the recent reveal that the Direct had (spoilers: it was the Octo Expansion) has given me motivation to resurrect this project. However, I have a couple of notes to deal with: The first is how deep of a language barrier separates the two...

    Oh, so this project is still alive. Glad to see. (n.b.: thanks to the direct's recent reveal, i may end up picking up my end again. I already have a couple of reworks planned to be more in line)

    Not as much now as I did last year or so, though I still pick up smash every once in a while (I am primarily a Melee Falco with a Marth pocket pick, and occasionally play in Sm4sh). I am also relatively bottom-ranked compared to the rest of my local scene.

    To be fair, absolutely nothing outside of what is established in-game has been really developed. Splatfests were (more or less) confirmed canon (given that the final splatfest results, directly or otherwise, influenced the story's plot) though, so inklings knowing ideas of this world isn't...

    In regards to the keyboard related discussion, with how the Octoling language is designed, it makes it possible for a standard keyboard to be used. Perhaps Inkling boards may input characters more or less like a Korean keyboard, where the base glyphs are input as one types, and special "mutator"...

    @PiyozR (I was gonna post this on your profile, but it has a 420 character limit, and therefore, I have to be the thread necromancer to contribute this new idea.) Sorry to bother you, but remember that MOBA-like "Calamari Turf War" segment on the conlang guide? I kind of want to elaborate more...

    Late reply here, but I wanted to say that I think that they type with a standard keyboard, and then IME software converts on the fly. Or it's something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_input_methods#/media/File:Surface_type_cover_JIS_keyboard_layout_blue.jpg

    Oh, man, I have been inactive for so long. But to follow through with "train conductor" being the equivalent idiom for "someone who 'carries' the team," can "All aboard!" also be slang for "get ready for me to carry this team!", and, essentially, "take the train" is an idiom for "get carried"...

    Nope, no progress hasn't been made since I announced the overhaul. I, for one, also have school under my belt.

    I like how I made a project that is a foil to this. While you made it to be more practical and accessible, I made mine just for the sake of making one, adding whatever elements I felt like. I also was more liberal in terms of what I made.

    I figured I might throw this out as a Calamari cultural note. All of this is original. =Turf Wars in Calamari County= Calamarin Inklings did their turf wars radically different compared to Inkopolis. The most obvious difference was that there were five members in a team (alongside a few...

    I am probably gonna need more chars so I can add /l/ in as a sound. So I can write "pentakill" as {p}{en}{t}{a}{k}{il}. Maybe more vowel-consonant chars alongside v-N/v-I? We could add v-L and v-R.

    Should have I put /dz/ instead? Besides, Welsh LL's phoneme has been in the (Octoling) language since the first real edition of the guide, and is all but just as unpronounceable for us (AmEnglish) speakers. Can't speak for the Brits here
