Is there anyone out there who is interested in etymology, philology or language in general who might be interested in a chat group that is working on learning more about language, evolving language or possibly even creating a new language?
We started out a few weeks ago with just myself and one other person and now it looks like we're up to 4 people and it's getting more and more fascinating and interesting. :)
I think the potential is pretty awesome and to me it feels like a group of heroes sort of like The Avengers or something coming together to address one of the major problems in the world.
If we could get a team of people working on this.. We might be able to do something really awesome and special!
Even if nothing greater or "major" comes out of it, I'm having a blast just learning more about language and talking with other people who enjoy the subject as well!
If that sounds interesting to you, lemme know!

Thanks for responding @philfreetotravel !
That's cool you're into language and etymology as well. :)
In regards to collaboration right now we are still in the early phases of discussing the subject, so we're essentially just talking about language... But.. We have ambitions to create a whole new language that we would hope would be an evolution, and a step forward.. And that allows people to communicate better and in more benevolent and positive ways.
If that sounds like something you might be interested in we'd be happy to have you join us and share your thoughts. Right now we're talking on a discord channel, if you would like to join I can give you the link, or if you have any more questions? Lemme know and I'll do my best to answer.

Thanks for your response. Create a new language it sounds very interesting as well as ambitious....is it something like Esperanto? I am not sure how to contribute to that new language however I am just curious.

You're welcome. And yes, I agree. Both interesting and ambitious! Though not as difficult as I thought before, I've learned there's been a lot of new languages created especially for books or movies and things like that.
Sometimes by one single person and in a matter of months or a few years.. So a lot more doable than I thought! BUT.. If we want it to be really special that's not going to be easy, however.. With a whole team I think it will make it a lot easier! :D
And yes.. Sorta like Esperanto. That's a good example of what we are aiming for.
Also I'm not really sure how to contribute either, lol.. But.. I have the desire to work on something like this so we're just starting small and talking about it and seeing where it goes. :) If nothing else at least we learned more about language in general! :D
