Let's Learn Tasblish!

Ruveis Tasblishon!

An Introduction to the Blishno Fitan Dialect of the Tasblish Conlang Developed by Pearson Moore

The Clan is the all.

Welcome to the Tasfit culture of Central Europe, 43,000 BCE. In Ruveis Tasblishon you will learn a language in which the ideas 'I' and 'you' do not exist. The clan is the all. Proximity to the hearth--the Glitfal Bestan--determines the personal and social standing of everyone in the world. Immersing yourself in an ancient Neandertal society, you will learn new ways of thinking about yourself, your companions, and the world around you.

The Tasblish language is unlike any tongue you have ever spoken or even heard about. Everyone refers to herself in the third person, for there are no first person ('I') or second person ('you') forms in the grammar, and no one in any Tasfit clan or tribe understands the concept of 'I' or 'you'. The clan is the beginning, the end, and the focus of every thought and breath.

In Ruveis Tasblishon you will discover new ways of considering personal, social, and geographic proximity to friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Nouns and verbs are not declined and conjugated as in most European languages. Rather, most words are proxigated--that is, they are modified according to the emotional, cultural, and physical proximity of the people or ideas they represent to the Glitfal Bestan, the Clan Hearth.

Conlangers will find in these pages radical ways of thinking about the nature of language and its structure. The proxigation-based grammar allows nuanced and elegant communication about emotions and feelings, and establishes interpersonal relationship as the supreme determinant of linguistic meaning.

Tasblish is central to the Tasfit Neandertal culture developed in Fire Wolf and Scimitar and in the science fiction world of Deneb, Pearson Moore's epic tale of culture clash set in multiple timelines from 43,000 BCE to 3000 AD. Few modern novels can claim such a fascinating and multi-dimensional backdrop, including a full 7800-word conlang, diverse prehistoric cultures spanning an entire continent, and social interaction unlike anything described in scientific or fictional literature. Lose yourself in a compelling, fascinating, utterly unique world. Ruveis Tasblishon!
