I often make hypothetical vocabulary for my conlangs. What if they knew about cars and computers and Earth religions? What would they call them? In any case, not all carols are religious. "Jingle Bells" for example.Llawygath wrote:Nice idea. However, I must say, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was "why do concultures have to celebrate Christmas?". I'm sure many of us, myself included, would be unable to translate these carols owing to lack of vocabulary for their Christian-centric religious themes.

(And yes, before you ask, I did read your phonology and grammar you posted on the CBB.)
Do they have a holiday or holidays that they associate with a certain kind of song? I don't know about you, but Christmas is the only holiday I know of with a particular name for the songs associated with it (in English at least ).hashi wrote:The Nithalosians have no concept of Christianity, so nor do they have one of Christmas.
Their culture doesn't have a lot of "holidays" as such. There are ceremonial songs, but that's about itDormouse559 wrote:Do they have a holiday or holidays that they associate with a certain kind of song?

Oww... I would have loved to see a carol in Nithalos...hashi wrote:The Nithalosians have no concept of Christianity, so nor do they have one of Christmas.
If you pick a carol, I can translate the natural language ones into Nithalos, but there will be no original worksIrkan wrote:Oww... I would have loved to see a carol in Nithalos...hashi wrote:The Nithalosians have no concept of Christianity, so nor do they have one of Christmas.

Thank you (even if that version actually hasn't been current for a while now )Koko wrote:Your conlang is amazing. The phonology and it's obvious influence really makes it a great romconlang.
