Do you have a cool printing of lipu pu in a rare language? A first-edition copy of the CLL or PMEG? Fun t-shirts with language logos on them? Conlanging stickers adorning a laptop or water bottle?
Post it here! Let’s show off our collections. If you write books or design conlanging merch, feel free to show off what you’ve created as well.
I have a copy of The Complete Lojban Language, La Lingvistikaj Aspektoj De Esperanto, and La Hobito. I printed out the PDF of the English edition of Kotava Official Complete Grammar. I used to have a copy of A Third Dictionary & Grammar of Láadan, but I think I loaned it to a friend.
I’ll share my little book collection and possibly post photos of stuff later… But I actually hand-painted some buttons with various sitelen pona. It’s like a subtle pride pin walking around with “tonsi”.
(Damn the fact that I can’t reply to two posts at the same time)
I love custom pins!! Definitely take some pics of these and show them
Very cool!
I have printed out two books myself: I converted the Lojban wave lessons into LaTeX & printed it, and I printed out the lojban.pw lessons PDF from here https://lojban.pw/vreji/uencu/en/learn-lojban.pdf. It is nice to have two physical references as opposed to a billion browser windows.
There is a limited print run of pu Epelanto, which I numbered by hand from 1 to 50. It was available only at the Universala Kongreso de Esperanto in Montreal a couple years ago. It includes a poem translation by jan Lakuse as bonus content.
I have:
all i have is english pu and ku...and a 1971 tok pisin dictionary, but that's not conlanging
oh wait i also have a 1999 printing of The Languages of the World (1977, revised 1986 and 1995), which has two pages on esperanto, in addition to three paragraphs on the history of "artificial languages" (IALs) as a whole. still barely conlanging...none of this is that "cool" sadly
