A community for conlangs and conlangers
What's everyone working on at the moment?
I'm currently trying to cook up a distant future Roman-Greco type of world and have been generating tons of words to find the right aesthetic. Visually, It's really inspired by Roman stone engravings.

I especially love how they abbreviated long titles for people. You end up with some interesting consonant clusters like so:
Domitian IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM PM TRP XII IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P PP
Trajan IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM PONT MAX TRPOT COS II
Hadrian IMP CAES TRAIAN HADRIAN OPT AVG GER DAC PARTHICO DIVI TRAIAN AVG F PM TRP COS PP PIE-TAS
Antoninus Pius IMP T AEL CAES HADR ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PM TRP COS DES II
Here are samples of some fake copy I've come up with so far. At this stage, none of the text has any meaning, I'm just trying to nail down the feel.
VICE OCO IOE DIEVODIU HUXRO. HUI. IVOHDU CUI VOCIO. LUOCI O HUCUVO ODOXII CIHO HI. ECDO LUDAE EO CI XEDDICIHI OHOCIA IHDA. LACA DAVICI VEDA HO AO COA. PAEIXDUDOUA HIAULEL.
"RIOAXEEI. RULAA HDOPOOICO. DIAE PI OCOXAXI CIREVE." - RI. II LOIUXICE OCIIICOCU




I'm simultaneously working on multiple conlangs for the purposes of fiction, which naturally results in little progress on any.
I love the look of this though. I always feel like the feel is the most important bit to get right first.
I didn't know they abbreviated like that! You say your world is set in the distant future; do you intend the language to draw any actual details (eg, words, syntax) from Greek or Latin, or just an aesthetic feeling?
I feel like I'm perpetually in that stage of 'nailing down the feeling'- it's hard to commit to actual word forms. In my own language, I have a significant amount of both phonology and syntax-semantics developed, but few stable words!
