Today I bring you my revival of Lhaa: Siri and 10 new vocabulary terms for the internet! :D I will provide the word, the IPA, the definition, and an example sentence.

  • łasala'u [ɬɑ.sɑ.lɑ.Ɂy], "computer" (derived from sun, łasa, and sight, la'u), EXAMPLE: łasala'ulayaa sałurirí. "I am using the computer."
  • la'ra'iłaa [lɑɁ.ɹɑ.ʔi.ɬɑ], "troll" (derived from false statement, la'ra, and make, 'iłaa), EXAMPLE: si 'a, suri ła'la li'ra'aala'ra'iłaá! "Oh my god, she trolled me(!!)!" 
  • yii'isilisi [jiːʔi.si.li.si], "(USB) port" (derived from be in, yii'i, and home, silisi), EXAMPLE: ri yii'isilisilayaa liraarya'? "Where is the USB port?" 
  • łasasiir [ɬɑ.sɑ.si˞ː], "email/to email" (derived from sun, łasa, and send, siir), EXAMPLE: li'łulirłasasiír. "I've already emailed her/him."  
  • sa'raryasar'ala [sɑɁ.ɹɑɹ.jɑ.sɑ˞.ʔɑ.lɑ], "meme" (derived from many, sa'rarya, and call/beckon, sar'ala), EXAMPLE: sa'raryasar'alasaá li sar 'a! "This meme is so good (funny)!"
  • łasasilaá' [ɬɑ.sɑ.si.lɑː˧˥], "blog" (derived from sun,łasa, and word, silaá'), EXAMPLE: łasasilaa'saá li'łutła'iłaá. "I've written a blog."
  • tła'arłasasilaá' [̈t͡ɬɑ.Ɂɑ˞.ɬɑ.sɑ.si.lɑː˧˥], "vlog" (derived from reveal, tła'ar, sun, łasa, and word, silaá'), EXAMPLE: tła'arłasasilaá'saá li'łutła'iłaá. "I've made a vlog." 
  • łasatła'ar [ɬɑ.sɑ.t͡ɬɑ.Ɂɑ˞], "URL" (derived from sun, łasa, and find, tła'ar), EXAMPLE: łasatła'arsaá li "http://google.com". "The URL is http://google.com."
  • tła'arłasa [t͡ɬɑ.Ɂɑ˞.ɬɑ.sɑ], "search e.g., Google" (derived from find, tła'ar, and sun, łasa), EXAMPLE: łi "kittens"saá łutłatła'arłasá, "I searched for kittens." 
  • tłaar [t͡ɬɑ˞ː], "ban" (derived from the same word, meaning destroy or kill), EXAMPLE: satłaá ła'la li'ra'aatłaár 'a! "Someone has banned me!" 
That's all, I hope you think that's remotely interesting. I'll happily answer any questions. c:

This month's challenge was to create 10 internet terms, and I thought I'd have a go even though I haven't made anything in a long time for #Conlangers. :P

Woah, neat! I think the way your conlang looks. I especially like your word for "troll" :3

I'm taking note on how you lay things out; my way of presenting my conlang needs to be improved :l

Hey, thanks! :D I appreciate the feedback. c:
Actually, I wouldn't expect most people to be as anal as I was with this challenge. The main reason it has the IPA and all of that is because I have the IPA written in my dictionary, so it was easy to copy and paste. xD

Interesting etymology; I especially like "ban". XD And I really like your phonology. I'm partial to the lateral fricative and affricate. :3

Thanks so much! :giggle: I wasn't sure how to come up with "ban," but I accidentally came across tlaar in my lexicon and knew I had found a match!

xD
:highfive: Those phonemes are too often underappreciated!

Almost all of these words were derived from sun. Is that because of the light that emits from screens and such? :o

Well, I used sun as the basis for electrical terms. :nod: So things that deal with electricity are derived from the sun because of its energy, I suppose. :giggle: It seemed logical to me. :P
