@gdssldier I'll read it and get back to you.

@gdssldier Thank you for the recommendations. I'll definitely be taking a look at them. I posted over at r/SLP and was advised to reach to The Canine Language Perception Lab at the University of Maryland. Hopefully I'll be able to aggregate all of this into a more effective and complete...

@gdssldier I just finished the book and it has forced me to change my perception of a dog's ability to understand spoken language. The results that have been achieved with Stella are astounding. I thought she may just be an outlier, but seems numerous other dogs have achieved similar results...

@gdssldier These are all very valid concerns and I will address each of them in an attempt to better explain my intentions and thoughts: My development of Doglang is intended entirely for personal use, but it is clearly far from being complete. I have two APBT, the older on has already...

@mikec57 I have read about Bunny briefly and I do like how the CAT buttons are grouped, but I believe many of the individual buttons can be reduced to primitives that can be combined for building more complex ideas. I currently believe that once a well defined set of primitives have become...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Unnecessary? 100%. Stimulating exercise that has given me a better understanding of linguistics and how dogs understand language? Absolutely. I have zero proof that any words work better than others, although the use of only voiced consonants and long vowels is based on...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Your concerns are completely understandable. I am working on Doglang primarily for personal use and would not expect another person to learn the commands for my dogs. I have already begun reconditioning my 2 year old pit bull terrier for the new commands and he is picking...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Doglang is still in development, so if you are tempted to test it I recommend just trying the focus command and comparing the results to an English equivalent. Between the feedback I have received in r/Dogtraining and r/conlangs, the next iteration of Doglang will likely be...

@imagebeastmarkbeast A recall command would be something along the lines of gaʊ (gow) while emergency recall could be gub.gaʊ (goobgow). gaʊ is made up of the primes "to move (closer) + me" and would translate to "move closer to me", while gub.gaʊ is constructed of "to move (closer) + more +...

@imagebeastmarkbeast You have brought up a good point though. I've been so focused on creating a morphological language that is as expressive as possible I didn't consider restructuring English words to create more understandable commands. In that case, "down" would still be "down", but "sit"...

Hi everyone! I've been working on creating an artificial language specifically designed for our canine friends to understand. After diving down the rabbit hole of phonetics, morphology, psychology, etc. I have finally finished an early version of my doglang and I'm looking for some constructive...
