Talk:Þeodspraax

Well done!
I am amazed by the detail and cohesion of this article, and the language itself. As someone trying to improve the deplorable state of many of MicroWiki's articles on languages, this is certainly a sight for sore eyes.

Keep up the good work :)

Thanks! | ¡Gratsi!
Why, thank you! I've put a lot of time into making it all, so it's nice to see that someone appreciates it. Ratings are appreciated.

Kudos from me, too
I must agree with the A1 representative there. It is a very well thought out language and as a person who speaks English and German, I do recognise many words. The only thing that confused me was this "wo" and "wo denn", because "wo" means "where" in German and "wo denn" means "but where exactly?" (as a question). But once I got over that its a very nice and relatively easy to learn language. Also very usable :)--Eleytheria 16:46, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for your compliments! And yes, I agree; there are some ambiguities. 'Þu' is exactly the Old English word for 'Thou', but it also happens to be exactly the Icelandic word for 'Think'. 'Wo' is a corruption of German 'Von', and 'Denn' came from a mixture of the Swedish suffix '-en', which is the equivalent of Modern English's 'The', and a corruption of Modern English's 'The', itself. Originally, in Librax, the precursor to Theodsprax, 'De' meant 'Of', and 'La' meant 'The'. La didn't work any more, though, when the verb infinitive suffix, '-ere' changed to first '-erë', next '-era', and finally '-ela', and, as such, 'La' changed to 'Denn' and 'Dinn'. 'De', of course, was then too easy to confuse with 'Denn' and 'Dinn', and, therefore, underwent rapid transformation, going from 'De' to 'Del', then to 'Ed', 'Ae', 'Aef', 'Von', 'Won', and, finally, 'Wo', which works perfectly within the scope of this language. The spellings of the definite articles have only very recently changed to 'Den' and 'Djn'. Gratsi end alu.

Greatest Conlang Ever!
This is the best conlang I have ever seen! It must have taken some time to create.

Keep it on,

Thank You!
I am bewildered by the overwhelmingly positive remarks about this conlang. All I can really say is, "Thank ye."
