Substratum

The substratum is unstable and requires special building practices.

Learning Chavacano and maybe other creoles could revitalize my interest in conlanging, even if just in my head. Chavacano is interesting to me because it is a Latinate creole, Spanish-based, with an indigenous Philippine substratum. Convenient in creoles is the absence of complex verbal conjugations. Markers or particles indicate verbal aspects. Creole is like a quaint fantasy.

As English's Germanic substratum of short words is ameliorated with long Mediterranean loanwords, the Thai language with its short words is ameliorated with long Indic borrowings. Languages often have such vocabulary dichotomies. Japanese native words are longer than the Sinitic borrowings. Borrowed words in these languages often indicate a higher register.

There are now sophisticated AI art generators, AI architectural concept generators, and even AI script and dialogue generators. Conceivable, there will be sophisticated AI language generators! There could be parameters like the superstratum language and the substratum language, then out goes a resulting desired artificial creole!
