TL;DR:

• You pick a group of related languages to represent.
• You negotiate with others to get your features in (and keep other features out), as decided by vote. It's sort of an influence game.

The result should be an auxlang, of some kind. If you want more detail, see the quote below from the info channel on the server, or come ask questions.

[8:44 PM] Ceneij: Hello @everyone ! We are starting a new project, called "Fauxlang". The general idea is that we create an "auxlang" as a representative committee, where each member represents a family or subfamily of languages of his choosing. Features of the Language will be put to the vote, and all representatives cast their vote; majority decides how the language will be shaped. Please note that while you are not 100% bound to vote exactly what your language does, you are supposed to be a representative, and not just vote by your personal preference.

The Project has now begun and the phonology is largely decided; however, this does not mean the project itself is closed. If you are interested in joining, please post in #fauxlang-discussion, mentioning what language family you want to represent. ping @Ceneij so I can include you on the list. Involvement in the project does not force you to commit a large amount of time, but it does require you to be online for a few minutes on most days, since each round of voting usually lasts 24 hours.

If you are an official member and can not vote on a particular day, it would be fantastic if you could ping @Fox or @Ceneij, so we know to adjust the majority rule. (edited)

[8:44 PM] Ceneij: The committee currently consists of the following representatives:

Kala - Mongolic

Lord Norjam - Polynesian

Ceneij - Dravidian

Digigon - Japanese & Korean

Klaus - Romance

Lettuce - Celtic

Capitalism - Mon-Khmer (edited)

[8:44 PM] Ceneij: You may choose to represent almost any language or family; however, if you are looking for ideas, here are large & important languages and their families that are currently unrepresented:

Mandarin / Sino-Tibetan Languages

English, German / Germanic Languages

Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi / Indo-Aryan Languages

Arabic / Semitic Languages

Malay, Javanese / Austronesian Languages*

Russian / Slavic Languages

Hausa / Chadic Languages

Persian / Iranian Languages

Swahili / Bantu Languages / Niger-Congo Languages

Turkish / Turkic Languages

Thai / Tai-Kadai Languages

*The Polynesian languages, represented by Lord Norjam, are also a subgroup of this family; if you are interested in representing some of these languages, please coordinate with him first. (edited)
