I've been collecting words for feelings and emotions that exist in other languages but not english. So far I have found 234 words across 67 languages.

I thought it might be of interest to those of you making your own languages.

The words are organised into different views which are borrowed from psychology and therapy tools. I think those ways of visualising words in relation to each other helps navigate the words by the feeling you're trying to gasp/investigate.

Not really sure who my project is for. I built it out of my own fascinations, but having stumbled on r/conlang today I thought I would share it with you all. As there is likely some overlap in on interests.

Hope you enjoy it and find it useful in your own creative pursuits :)

I made a Multilingual version of the Wheel of Emotions

I made a Multilingual version of the Wheel of Emotions:

https://paste.page/multilingual-emotion-wheel

The link between language and emotional literacy and breadth is fascinating. Do people who speak other languages experience emotions in different ways, depending on the words/labels/vocab they have available? What is the world like for folks who can feel and dream in multiple languages?

You've probably seen the english "wheel of emotions" and "wheel of feelings" before.

This new wheel includes words from multiple languages. Which helps increase the pallet of words we have to express our subjective experience.

Hope you enjoy exploring it as much as I have. Feeling "Yuğen" right now. (unsure if that is the correct way to use my newly discovered word, sorry speakers of Japanese)

Thank you ai. It made light work of the task. I'll expand it with more words soon.

Apparently there are 7000+ living languages. So the next version of this wheel could be enormous!

Edit: Thanks for all the help and feedback. The page is being updated constantly. If you spot something in your language that should be updated then please comment. So I can update the wheel.
