Lang Belta was designed by an actual linguist to actually make sense, and yet Duolingo only has the dumb meme languages of Klingon and High Valyrian instead of it.

Memrise has a course! It's a fun little phrasebook that will teach you useful phrases like "Na gif fo mi na kaka, dzhemang (don't give me any poo poo, brokedick)"

Close enough. "That's where you see 'coyo,' but 'koyo' is definitely better"

so how big is the Ring (on the outside)? It's always difficult to scale these things on-screen but the Behemoth is a big-rear end ship and it's completely dwarfed by the scale of that goddamn structure. 250 km diameter? 500?

The wiki (which is laden with spoilers) says it's 1000km in diameter.

look I'm all for being a huge nerd but if you're going to spend time to learn a language you should really pick a language that exists in real life

I speak a couple, and Lang Belta is probably the quickest and easiest I've picked up. The grammar is simple, the vocabulary is small, and it's a fun little mental exercise. And, because it's a creole, it has a lot of loan words from a bunch of other languages (e. g. "sabaka" from "собака", "showxa" from "说话 (shuōhuà)," etc.) so learning it can actually help learn others, which is a terrible reason to learn a language. Or, as my Latin prof would put it "if you want to learn Spanish, study Spanish. Latin is useless."

But of course, the best reason to learn it is so you can curse in public without repurcussion, keredzhang da pashangwala nakangepensa na pochuye im, sasa ke?
