The Expanse T-Shirt Club Subscription

I've had about a half dozen shirts so far and I'm pretty happy with it. They're not all great but some of them are really good. And the material is almost always comfortable.

This has been a few months in the making, but it's finally ready. This course is intended as a "so, you're visiting the Belt?" phrasebook for Inners who aren't trying to completely learn the language. (A real, complete course that actually goes into the grammar and stuff is in the works, but will take a while. Look for that probably in June?)

I think you may get better information if you use the Android app or the iPhone/iOS app, but you can just do it on a regular computer if you like.

My Trigedasleng group posted a thing there related to this, and got a lot of weird biased responses from people that just outright don't like conlangs. It's here in case you want to see some responses you might get.

Looks like "creating an incubator" isn't the first step. Here's their page on "I would like a new course: What should I do?"

It looks like someone should start a discussion of or request for Lang Belta in this forum. It'll have to be someone who's reached Level 2 and hence can post things into the forums.

I'll try a course in a language I've already studied, like Spanish or Japanese, and see if I can get there. But if someone beats me to the punch, I'll just add my comment/vote to their effort, as the guide says.

If someone else does it, can you post a link back here? (Might be useful on the Discord channel, too; people were discussing this there just earlier today.)

Definitely give Kai’s Memrise course a start.

Beyond that, keep your eyes peeled; the now that we’ve saved the show, getting an LB textbook published is the next campaign

Keting pashang ando go xiya, [guys]?

​

We have lots of options on how to translate "guys," depending on how familiar and/or vulgar you want to be:

Keting pashang ando go...

• kowmang? ("Everyone" - easy and reliable)
  
• mang? (Literally just means "person/people," but I can imagine using it as a neutral form of address. Thanks for the thought, /u/ToiletSpork!)
• koyo? (Literally means dog(s) or cat(s), but can be used like "dude." Something to use with friends.)
• sabakawala? ("whoremonger(s)" - Vulgar! Depending on your delivery, you could be saying it jokingly to friends or insultingly to enemies.)
• ówala? (Literally means "person/people obsessed with orifices," or when you're not feeling rude, a plumber. Like the other vulgar examples, your tone means this doesn't have to be angry. We give some examples in Lesson 8 of the Memrise course, here. https://www.memrise.com/course/1476694/lang-belta-belter-creole-phrasebook/8/)
• pashangwala? ("fucker(s)" - Vulgar! Depending on your delivery, you could be saying it jokingly to friends or insultingly to enemies.)

​

A reminder: Singular and plural in Lang Belta are the same. It's a common mistake to add -lowda, since that's what we add to pronouns (mi/milowda, im/imalowda, the special pronouns Inyalowda and Beltalowda) to make them plural, but that's the only case in which it's used. For most words, we have to go by context.
