Despite only rarely writing, I continue to exist as a human into infinity. (nonbinary, they/them/he/she/whatever they're all a little wrong so just have fun with it, eh?)
Your name is Jack. You are a musician looking to make your way to the top. These are ponies. They took you away from your world by accident, and with a massive language barrier, you aren't sure who or what to trust. What's a man to do?
Join yourself on your adventures in Equestria, and take in the culture.
There's a whole new language to learn, after all.

So far a nice read :3
Looks like an interesting concept. Few stories go with the ponies speaking another language and I applaud your choice to use this in your story. I will be following.

Sweet, 'cause I was actually afraid the pony language would be a bit of a turnoff, considering I actually had to make a new language to really get the feeling of fish out of water.
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, and start
The code. Now that I am done laughing it makes me wounded why she would use that code. I prefer the universal greeting from Transformers.

I am sorry that Konami wounded you.
You may be entitled to compensation of over one-million dull hairs.
6132243
Not really wounded but nobody in my family getting why I found it funny it hurt worse. Still great job and keep up the good work.
so im curious... did you actually create a set of rules to translate english into equuish?
6132570
Well, yes I did, actually.
First, when it comes to descriptors, it's alot like spanish. In spanish, you don't say "That is a red car.", you say "That is a car red." Instead of decribing the object and then telling you what it is, you're telling what the object is and then describing it.
Second, all capital R's are r's rolled with the throat, (think along the lines of the French word rondevouz, or the English Loch Ness), and all the rr's are rolled with the tongue, like in Spanish.
Third, in written form, C will only ever appear next to H because I'm trying to not use letters I gennerally wouldn't use in regular speak, (like Q).
And then here are all the words and meanings to said words that I've gotten down thus far.

6132628 nice...
although im guessing it took you a while to sit down and write/think of all the rules and semantics
edit:
Rra lonki kak pirr jolk vae... damnit you don't have long or time
6132671
Nah, I just thought of all the things that I thought were stupid about English, and I got rid of them, and I just think of words as I need them in the story.
And the R stuff was just to add some spice.
6132671
I do now.
Long = Gole
Time = Kap
And I've updated the list below as well.
6132734 XD
It's not bad, but personally I hate the second person narrative. I'm going to give it a chance, though, and track it.
6126476 interesting. Seems phonetically similar to English. I can pick out certain words, seems subject verb object, subject optional same as English.
In terms of ease of learning I'd rate this as super easy which corresponds to the whole mirror universe thing with the original mirror.
6135354
And yet I myself, creator of the language, still needs to use the little dictionary list to actually make sentences.

In other news, go to this link over here for a more comprehensive list of Equistrian, because I couldn't be bothered to post it here.

Oh yeah, and in case anybody's wondering, the Character Tags are gonna be changing all the time because I never actually bothered to make a plot, so I"m just throwing whatever comes to mind in the chapter out and leaving it because fuck it.
When our weary world was young....
Damn! the name of this story brings back memories

Glad to know that someone caught the referance.
7296563 What are your favorite prog rock bands/albums/songs?
7296621
Prog isn't really my main thing, but I know a few good ones.
First, if I had to pick my favourite Prog album, it'd either be Sacrafice, by Black Widow, or Afreaka!, by Demon Fuzz. My favourite Prog band, (aside from Rush, who were actually something of a Pop group for most of their carreer), has gotta be Black Widow, whom were most famous for writing the Occult-Prog album Sacrafice. A few other good Prog bands I like are Demon Fuzz, Fuzzyduck, and there's one more band whose name isn't quite coming to me at the moment.
Once again, though, I'm not really much of a Prog guy, thougj. Much of it is a little too masturbatory for my tastes, y'see.
7296701
My tastes really evolved from coming into contact with the non prog material that prog artists produce, and vice versa with me getting into non prog bands via their prog work
One example is Jethro Tull, who made an album mocking progressive rock known as Thick as a Brick.
Here is just an excerpt from a 45 minute song:
From there I explored his previous albums, my favourite one of his is Stand Up, which leant more on the side of blues rock than anything I have heard in TAAB.
Example:
This is really what happened with most bands: I just explore and discover entire new genres.
7296799
Don't you just love it when you get to the end of a canceled story and see a song of one of your top 5 favorite bands?
As for the story, interesting concept with the languages, but not executed as best it could be.
This story had a very sarcastic tone that I wouldn't normally associate with MLP. I also didn't feel the voices of the characters matched up well with their TV Counterparts.
Hopefully your next project will be more fruitful! Good Luck!
