experimental cultural gismu

bavro [ ] Bavaria: x1 reflects Bavarian culture/nationality/languag/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]Apparently, (some) Bavarians do not consider themselves dotco.

beljo [ ] Belgian: x1 reflects Belgian culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2

belro [ ] Belarusan: x1 reflects Belarusan culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]

bolvo [ ] Bolivian: x1 reflects Bolivian culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2

cilno [ ] Chilean: x1 reflects Chilean culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2

ctipo [ ] Albanian: x1 reflects Albanian culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]

danmo [ ] (zo'o') Danish: x1 reflects Danish culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 There already is a gismu "danmo".(Hence the zo'o.) Likewise "danko", "danso", and "dasko" all clash. No "danko" doesn't. With "tanko". If it's worthwhile to keep official gismu separated, then it should be worthwhile when we make an unofficial gismu with rafsi and all. Please make up a new Wiki page where you explain the standard according to which tanko and danko clash. As far as I know, the only requirement for gismu spearation is to not be different only in the final vowel. --tsali

finlo [ ] Finnish: x1 reflects Finnish culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2: [[[And]]

flamo [ ] Flemish: x1 reflects Flemish culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]

kamro [ ] Welsh: x1 reflects Welsh culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [or kimro]: [[[And]]

kasto [ ] Spanish: x1 reflects culture/nationality/language/geography of Spain in aspect x2: [[[And]] Why not use spano?For same reason as reason for using glano alongside glico. And It should probably be the other way around: kasto for the language and spano for the country. I suspect that using kasto for the whole of Spain would be too politically incorrect. It would be like using glico for the whole UK. xorxes

kepko [ kek ] Québécois: x1 reflects Québécois culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]Suggestions for better gismu? I'd like to use kebko but that has a problem with voiced/unvoiced in the middle.

kribo [ ] Caribbean: x1 reflects Caribbean culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2

livjo [ ] Livagian: x1 reflects Livagian culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2: [[[And]] This clashes with "libjo". That's not a clash. Only if two gismu are the same except for the final vowel do they clash (because they have the same four-letter rafsi). Consonant clashes were checked when generating the original gimste but are not a rule of the language. What's Livagian anyway? There are too many nationalities to have gismu for all of them. These are slang gismu. There's no guarantee there won't be homonymies among them. And

xelvo [ ] Swiss: x1 reflects Swiss culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 This clashes with "kelvo".

xirlo [ ] Irish: x1 reflects Irish culture/nationality/language/geography in aspect x2 [[[pne]]Or sicko, from sicko'o (< stici+skoto), which is given for "Irish" [presumably referring mainly to the language] in the gi'uste?

Dare I suggest vopko for Volapük zo'oru'e? (I don't even know where to go for Klingon... lingo? *tlino I think is illegal. kligo? I am not being serious here, fear not. Then again, as I said under terki, nonce-brivla make plenty of sense to me) --mi'e mark.

How about runbo (from runbau) for conlang? — Adam

(Where's Talossa??)

OK, people, before this goes any further: some of the cultures above are fictional ("micronations"), made-up countries that people get into primarily for the fun of play-acting at politics. Talossa is a quite well-known instance, which also features a conlang (Provençal meets Albanian and Berber for lunch) whose primary purpose is to use as many diacritics as possible :-). For El Grotto, see tsali's home page. For Livagian, see http://wiw.org/~jkominek/lojban/9504/msg00006.html.

In checking whether Livagian was mentioned elsewhere online, btw, I fell upon the Conlang Ethnologue (a-m, n-z): a picture-perfect parody of the SIL Ethnologue!
