Erm, no samples at the moment but unfortunately I find it too similar to Mongolian and may change and edit it further.

Somewhere between polysynthetic and agglutinating.

Agglutinating means one morpheme per meaning; contrasting fusional languages such as Latin (pulled out since I'm taking Latin in school), which use one morpheme to indicate a variety of things at the same time.

I don't really know what polysynthetic means.

What he said about agglutinating and fusional.
Languages are often placed on a two-dimensional typology; one dimension is how synthetic vs how analytic/isolating they are, and the other dimension is how fusing vs how (not-fusing?) they are.

A language with a lot of morphemes per word is very synthetic; a language with only one morpheme per word is very isolating or analytic.

A language with a lot of meanings per morpheme is very fusional; a language with only one meaning per morpheme is agglutinating.

"Polysynthetic" could, technically, just mean "very synthetic". But there are different features that get called "polysynthetic", and not every language that has one of these features gets called "polysynthetic", whereas not every language that does get called "polysynthetic" necessarily has every last one of these features.

But; among these features are; incorporation of referential, specific objects into verbs; and polypersonal agreement on the verbs (verbs with two or more participants agree with two or more of them). Also, frequently, a whole sentence can be just one word, because it agrees with all of its participants, incorporates all the "adverbs" as verb-modifying morphemes, and incorporates all of its objects.

For your part you can probably temporarily assume as a working hypothesis that "polysynthetic" just means "very, very synthetic". A language that's both polysynthetic and agglutinating would, in addition, have just one meaning per morpheme.

Agglutinating languages are very popular among auxlangers and loglangers; and also among first-time conlangers. More experienced conlangers like to also try the other types, at least when making artlangs that are intended to be "realistic" or "naturalistic".

I hope that was brief enough?

yes it was brief enough.

so you guys have all seen my conlang danslag (im to lazy to put the accents above the consonants right now).

Fine, this is one sample. LOL

whoa, that is nice!

comment: I seem to notice that a lot of scripts are cursive, IMO they take a 3x the effort(create for the initial, medial and terminal position) and skill...so kudos!!

Looks awesome.

really? how would it work? so it doesn't distinguish between the three? perhaps initial-medial and final all merged into one? very unique as well

You can see it in the second-newest topic in the Conscripts forum. The letters just connect to each other.
