"You are turning into a cephalopod." Ah yes, one of the most important sentences to know how to say in any language. That should definitely be first in the Nlhogqwa guide books. More seriously, I suppose this is probably either metaphorical (based on some stereotypes about cephalopods that exist in their culture) or from some kind folk-tale or other story. Although, I suppose it might be a more useful sentence if they really are magical people. Either that or someone's just messing with someone.

I mean, Lovecraft was a flaming xenophobe who wrote horror stories that were thinly veiled allegories for his own fear of other cultures, interracial integration/relationships, and so on. So when he went to build the "other" he basically borrowed from a heavily distorted super racist representation of what real foreign languages sound like. Large consonant clusters, "gutteral" sounds, non-intuitive romanisation, and preposterously long words were all common tropes about "savage" or "barbarian" languages.

Which I intend as a deeply complimentary remark! This iteration of Ilothwi is very good, thank you for sharing it with us.

Obviously there are missing words from this earliest word, or it was created using an old less evolved alphabet) is on its own at 34%, and then we see a communication band gap (32%-29%) where the development jumps to the modern development period at a lower overall shared literacy and we get ngaa', nu'- , and thung forming a sentance fragment (although-to die-iterative(frequently)). So the earliest form would be in the shape nu'-thung meaning 'to die frequently'. 24% they develop the word for fish... what they ate before thus is uncertain. They dont seem to know what the sea is until 6%, yet sea creature (real 24%, then mythical 13%) gives us ith for water. So the earlier form for sea would be ith, not thyu putting it in the 34% protolanguage before the bandgap.

@@maxiapalucci2511 how so? The percentage represents the fully literate population at this point of language development. Over time as a culture develops its language, the percentage of fully literate population drops. You can see the rise and fall of a culture by the number of new ideas at a specific percentage. But all cultures decline to 1% fully literate and collapse. The Romans were at 1% fully literate when they assassinated Julius Ceasar and the republic became an empire. The Greeks were at 1% fully literate when the cult of Zeus took power and rewrote Greek history. The Americans are at less than 2% fully literate and headed towards total collapse unless they make doctorate level education mandatory for everyone starting with their military and government personnel. Only education can prevent collapse of civilization. Percentages represent a moment on a timeline of history when some significant growth occurs.

Okay some comments of mine. 1 - Ilothwii have basically no labial sounds such as "p" or "b", and lots of fricatives like "th". So an "Ilothwii accent" would sounds like somoene with a lisp for speakers of Edun or Nekatchi. This could be a source for discrimination maybe? 2 - As some else said, "Cthulhu" is a word that perfectly fits the Ilothwii phonetics. A cool easter egg then would be "Cthulhu" as the word for God in Ilothwii. 3 - Woudn't an alphabet fit The langauge better? They use a modified version of the Nekatchi script but a sillabary can't handle such complex syllable system. Ayway great work dude. You inspired me to make my own conlang. I'm looking foward for the next showcase. Cheers!

1: His choice of sound inventory almost reminds me of a simplified Tlingit, minus the electives and aspiration distinction. 2: Ilothwii was deliberately intended to sound Lovecraftian (in fact, that’s what the language was called before he figured out what to call it). Bib is a huge fan of Lovecraft. The word “kthuluu” is in the language as an Easter egg, I believe it means “he/she is eating it” 3: It would, but that’s the thing with borrowing writing systems: they can be incredibly imprecise and clunky. There are so many indigenous American languages that have this problem because the Latin alphabet isn’t equipped to deal with some of their sounds (especially the lateral affricate, which is ubiquitous among the Na-Dene languages, and ejective consonants) Sadly, it’ll be a while before the next showcase: the other two Refugium languages (Ts’ap’u-K’ama and Suma’a) aren’t anywhere near ready to show yet, and he won’t get back to revising them until Alien Biospheres is done.

I think I got this y'all! The planet all these languages exist on is tidally locked. The map is not oriented west-up, the Ilothwii archipelago is literally to the east of Nekachta. The Empire of the Sun is literally placed directly under the sun, with the Central Plateau being named as such because it is literally in the central spotlight! The Night Lands is the name for the side of the planet that is facing away from the sun, the archipelago lying in the twilight zone (notice how most cities lie on the western shores, facing towards the sun). This explains why in all the languages presented thus far there are no words for day-night cycle, seasons etc, only years (which are most likely counted using crop growing speed or something like that). I would LOVE to hear back from Biblaridion on whether or not I have cracked his world's mystery.

@@Ptaku93 So, you've got the general idea correct, but the world isn't necessarily a planet (its actual shape is unknown). The sun isn't an actual star (there are no stars at all in this world), it's a source of energy that floats above the center of the world (and yes, that's why it's called The Plateau of the Sun), and the equivalent of night is created by a series of "moons" that periodically eclipse the sun. The further you get from the sun, the darker, colder, and more inhospitable the conditions get, until about 6000 km from the sun, the light fades into a wall of total darkness, the lands beyond which are collectively called "The Night Lands". Nobody has ever ventured into The Night Lands and lived to tell of it, but there are legends that if you stare into the darkness for long enough, you begin to make out the shapes of vast, nightmarish beings lurking in the gloom.

The postpositions as enclitics, the complex relationship between affixes and roots to create different tenses/aspects/moods, and the shape-based categories of arguments all ping my "Athabaskan alarm".
