Kalovanian dialects

Here is where you can locate information on the Kalovanian dialects. Keep in mind that the descriptions of the countries and cities within them are vague or very basic because I haven't yet developed lore for them yet.

100 Prompts for Writing Practice In Your Target Language

Getting written practice in your target language can be quite the challenge. Especially, if you don't know what you want to write about. Perhaps, your level is not higher to discuss topics you are passionate about yet. That's okay, you can always look up what you don't know and then use websites, apps and tools like HiNative or italki  to get corrections from native speakers. Describe as much or as little as you want depending on your level in your target language(s).  Keep it as simple or complex as you'd like and feel free to revisit these prompts are you improve in your target language(s). Feel free to skip over prompts you don't feel are relevant to you or don't want to do. 1) What did you do today? 2) What are your plans for today/tomorrow/the weekend/this week/this month/this year? 3) Who are you?

Lexember 2025: Days 1-8

 Lexember is where conlangers create one word per day for the month of December. I participated in this language on Bluesky last year and it really helped build up my conlangs: Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian. It also gives me a chance to be more active on Bluesky (an alternative to Twitter that isn't as toxic as what Twitter has become). The prompts were created by David J. Peterson (creator of Dothraki, High Valryian, etc)and Jessie Peterson of the LangTime Studio podcast and author of How to Create a Language. I would recommend following them on Bluesky and using the hashtag #Lexember so that your post can be found and seen by fellow conlangers. Without further ado, here are the first 4 prompts for Lexember in Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian: Dec 1: A way of preparing food (e.g. Chop, grind, dice, mince) Kalovanian :  Talia /talia/- To cut, to slice, to chop, to dice, to sever, to amputate, to behead, to separate, to split apart, to tear (apart).

Lumipēnaukian (Lubenavian) dialect of Kalovanian

  Whilst Lubenavian (Lubenavireno) is the main official language of Lubenavi, there is a significant amount of monolingual and bilingual speakers of Kalovanian throughout the country due to Kalovanians previous colonisation of the country. Lubenavian speakers in majority Kalovanian speaking cities like Teribufa (Vakuchupa), Terrānauga (Nēbērunamilubekufa) and Sepukikeppi (Namūkovatasa) will change the spelling of Sx to Š , X to Č , Zx to Ž and Dx to Dž . Vice-versa is true for Kalovanian speakers in Lubenavian majority cities like Fuzudete fanauo (Lunavama), Namūkorūlūna (Kikeppiuvoko), Runekulaitos ruanōitos (Kusebluketerrapal kōen), Mūnoapo obapa (Lebar mūna) and Kukofa poneasūlū (Isovoda utaukoto). In places where both are spoken equally then there are no changes to spelling that isn’t specific to the dialect spoken in the area. v/ becomes an /f/ sound at the beginning of a word. (Ex: Vama (Good) becomes Fama ) /d/ becomes a /t/ sound in the middle or end of a word. (Ex: K...
