Core vocab is about 700 words, because my conlang creates new words from itself easily. I could probably even cut it down to 500 if I’m clever enough (don’t put money on that haha). And I did the phonology/orthography before the vocab, but when I gave it a test run, a few little things didn’t work as well as I thought they would, and it’s been gnawing at me for weeks. The new changes are definitely an improvement, so it’s just a matter of putting in the time and effort.
I started with basically no linguistic knowledge so this site helped me a lot. I recommend it, even if it’s to browse other people’s conlangs. It’s really a one-of-a-kind.
Yeah I tried the conlang places on Lemmy, and they all look pretty dead. It’d be nice to have some conlangers here to geek out with but it looks like it’s just you and me at the moment.
Ouch - I hate doing the lexicon before finishing romanisation + phonology for this reason. How large is the current vocab?

Cool - then it shouldn’t be too much work? (700 is still a lot, though.)
Nice to see other conlangers in Lemmy, by the way. Make sure to check out !conlangs@mander.xyz, that comm could use some activity :3
Do you use Conworkshop?
I don’t - to be frank I wasn’t even aware of it.
