Re: Yay or Nay?

Can we see an example sentence or two written in the three different ways? Sure. Variant A) ha zajanaandotanuk [ˈha ʒaʲaˈnaːn.doˌta.nuk] ha zaj-anaan-do-tanuk 1SG EPIS-kill-VOL-PRF.PST I might have intentionally killed natzajanaandotanuk [nat.ˈʃaʲa.naːnˌdo.ta.nuk] nat-zaj-anaan-do-tanuk 2PL-EPIS-ki...

Re: Yay or Nay?

Yesterday, I came up with a pronouns system for my new project (apparently nameless). It is highly agglutinating without any too-fancy things happening morphophonologically (oh, dear) - it's more of a lego agglutination without the involved elements inacting much with each other. For example: root /...

Re: Rumhängethread

Also, mein Blog ist auf wordpress.com . Mit denen bin ich sehr zufrieden. Den Blog an sich zu hosten dürfte kein Problem sein. Vielmehr sollten wir wissen, wer postet und was dort gepostet werden soll. Es lassen sich denke ich problemlos mehrere Autoren im Blog registrieren, sodass man immer den Übe...

Re: Two tools for conlangers

Haha! Awesome!

I recently counted the vowels in my conlang corpus by hand - which was annoying. Great tool. I really appreciate the work.

The air travel list now reads: AIR TRAVEL [...] There is no "plane" in the category air tavel? It's in the vehicles category. Sorry, I just read that you wrote that beforehand. Should read the unread post before posting myself :mrgreen: BTW, do you intend to have the list somewhere online...

Re: Initial or Final

I think you should take a look on interlinear Actually, s/he is referring to THIS . I'd say that if it does not feel right for you, you should really consider revision. I would try to reverse the entire thing (so option 2) and have a few sentences to play with. If you still don't like it, you can g...

Re: Miyasalemmi - my main conlang

I was just wondering, isn't the low central vowel /ɐ/? I never saw /ä/ in any IPA transcription. I referred to this chart , and there is apparently no /ä/. If you refer to /i e ɐ/ as your monopthongs, then I'd agree with you that /ɐ/ is farther from /e/ than /a/. Although, I'd guess that both /ɐ/ a...

No, there will be an extra postposition. For example, Tein c eiwîd rel mewei. "I have two books." Tein c eiwîd rel John nuwei. "John has two books". two book-PL be-3PL-PRES John on It's kind of like Spanish, which has, say, comitative case forms of "I" and "you&qu...

Hmm, also läuft es auf ein Forum hinaus. Eigentlich haben wir hier schon eins, oder? Nur sind irgendwie zu wenig Leute aktiv, habe ich das Gefühl. Meinst du, das würde sich ändern, wenn man ein eigenes Forum gründet? Das ist so ziemlich genau die Frage, die ich mir gestellt habe. Ich sehe im Grunde...

Re: A conlang sketch

So again, this is quite English-like, except for the lack of an auxiliary verb in wh-questions, like "do" in "What did John buy?". So, as I said before, there is definitely nothing wrong with as long as you are aware of it, meaning you do it deliberately. Could you give an examp...

Re: A conlang sketch

As you may have noticed, there is not much response to your post. I wondered why that is so and took the time to read it and give you some feedback. Your phonology seems quite similar to English! Drop /s z ʃ ʒ tʃ dʒ/ (basically everthing Post-alveolar) and replace /ɹ/ with /r/ and /ʁ/ and you are at...

Pages is semi-fine. I think LaTeX requires quite a bit of learning, but it looks better. Pages is shitting itself when I open my main document, which sucks because it takes for ever to make changes.
