Podcast Summary

This podcast episode focuses on a constructed language called Venedic, which is a Polish bo-go laying. The creator, Jan van Steenbergen, runs Vulgar Latin through the sound changes that produced modern Polish. The language has a detailed phonology and a grand master plan that traces the changes from Vulgar Latin to Venedic. The language has eight verb classes and incorporates various Slavic sound changes and features, such as nasalized vowels and fricatives. While examples and syntax are lacking, the language has extensive vocabulary and interesting place names. The episode also mentions the concept of egotism in conlanging, where creators incorporate their names or the names of people they like or dislike into their languages.
