Conlang Ponish · 1:07pm February 8th
Has anyone ever done a conlang workup of Ponish? It doesn't have to be GOOD but I could really use some idea what it might sound like to a non-Ponish speaker. I'm a novice conlanger and I COULD go down that rabbit hole, but it's probably not an effective use of my time.
It's an effective use of someone else's time, tho.
Any help is appreciated.
The Children of Planet Earth very proudly showcases a Ponish conlang... sometimes at the expense of the actual narrative. Still probably along the lines of what you're looking for. Also, you'll want this International Phonetic Alphabet translator.

Aye, that's the danger of authentic world-building: getting so authentic that you forget you're supposed to be telling a story. That will probably help!
The IPA translator is gold, actually. The biggest problem I have with conlanging is my tin ear...

i was about to say that the ponish will only be just ponified English but I think a completely different language is fine, still I kind of want to know how would all the world languages sound ponified

In most media, generally the excuse is that we hear it as say, English, but in universe they're speaking X or Y and its just being translated. I have seen a few fics that posit Ponish sounds, to humans like well, neighing and such
