CONLANGS
Conlangs are constructed languages, languages that were created and designed intentionally rather than naturally. While it's become a big hobby of mine, I tend to be a lot more interested in languages that are intended to be spoken between real people rather than studying languages made exclusively for fictional worlds.
Dagapya is my current project, so please check it out!
It's a minimalistic artlang made to be easy for anyone to learn, with ~800 root words designed around sound symbolism. Every root word is 2 syllables or less, and the minimalistic grammar was inspired by several well-received conlangs including Mini, Globasa, and toki pona. You may have heard of it under its previous name Dasopya, and it's still suitable for use as an auxlang. You can read more on the official website:

I've written multiple articles on conlangs:

And here's the other conlangs I've created:
Kaliwe was my first conlang, and it has only 50 words!
It's minimalistic and initially designed as an auxlang, but now exists mainly to be Ube's language

isi taki is my currently incomplete English-based auxlang.
It's an attempt to simplify English by taking advantage of the fact that it's so well-known, and making the rules/alphabet much more consistent while keeping the phonology much more accessible for learners.

Babol is an artlang I've been working on every now and then.
The sole goal is to just make a language that's fun for me to speak, specifically, while still being fully functional:

Karaoke Haha is a currently incomplete auxlang that's a toki pona relex.
The concept was to make an auxlang consisting solely of words that are essentially universal between languages. As long as they aren't brands or companies, the word can be used, like chocolate, golf, Yen, or even the Himalayas. It became difficult to find a large number of words, so it's incomplete and simply a relex, but I've had a small number of friends have very strong feelings about it:

Taynmoga is an auxlang where every root word is 1 syllable, with 450 words in total.
Essentially an attempt to recreate Kaliwe's concept with more usability by taking pieces of existing
auxlangs, I've stopped supporting Taynmoga since it's been reworked into Dasopya, then Dagapya. However, it is a complete project:
