Conlanging

I dreamt this early morning about conlanging, specifically modifying Esperanto, so that I would replace the letter J with the letter Î, and I would add Japanese vocables. My cousin Eileen was in the dream, and she thought that I should not pursue the project.

"David, one of my hobbies is conlanging." "Robert, what's a 'conlang'?" "It's an artificial language." "You mean like C++ for programming?" "It's not intended for computers, but for people, though."

I started conlanging as a prepubescent with words like "múninghay," "brábintai," and "numnumbúbit," which respectively related to the full moon, dragonflies, and drinking vitamins.

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.
