A short zine discussing reconstructive conlanging in relation to alterhumanity/nonhumanity. It covers a bit of my own attempt at this moreso than the general premise.

The idea for this was originally sparked by Fifth Wheel Press's submission call for Alterhuman/Multispecies articles. I weighed it, then decided to make a personal zine instead, for a number of reasons. So you are free to look at more of my grammar indulgences.

In this zine, I reference two other zines: Introversal and Learn Persian NOW.

this is so unbelievably up my alley ! I love conlanging ( although I am very very much a beginner ! ) and started working on the language of one of our other system members . I'd like to return to work on it someday . I ran into the opposite issue you have where her people have far fewer vocal sounds than humans , although they can produce sounds in other ways . this was a pleasure to read ! 

Thank you! If you do return to your own reconlanging project, and decide to post it publicly, I would love to read about how her language works.
