Re: Analysis Swap: Täptäg
I was going to hack at it much like we did in my Field Methods class. Our informant spoke English but had no formal linguistic background; we’d solicit tokens and she would provide them (though since Íröd is not earth, and things there often differ in some respects, I’ll provide appropriate notes if...

I happen to have a speaker of Täptäg on tap (*rimshot*) and he’s willing to serve.

Re: Formation of vowel harmony?
You can also just happen to blunder into it. You can get harmony through sound changes, applied judiciously. For example, in some Arabic dialects (like my professor’s), the emphatic consonants affected nearby vowels (particularly /a a:/), and this emphatic status went on to affect all vowels in a wo...

Re: Analysis Swap?
To my shame, I somehow did not realize the current list was there—in my mind I kind of filed it away as if it were static. Ugh.

Re: Analysis Swap?
Field Methods was one of my two favorite classes in my linguistics studies (the other being Techniques in Historical Linguistics). I had a blast. That was, like, a dozen years ago now… Let's throw a little element of mystery into this. The following languages are at a stage sufficient to participate...

Re: Help detect language?
I wonder if one or more of those symbols aren’t care instructions. There’s some standard matrix of symbols used in textiles, offhand it looks like at least one of those might be one.

Maybe it was the time when spambots discovered kitchen-sink (conlangs) and tried to sell us kitchens?

Re: LCS Subdomains Currently Down
Update: Looks like the subdomains were restored but not pushing new changes. I tried to add a new page to one of my hosted sites but it still errors instead of displaying what I just uploaded (persists upon multiple and spaced-out refreshes).

LCS Subdomains Currently Down
The mainpage seems to work but the subdomains aren’t showing up (you can still FTP into them but they aren’t actually visible on the web). I’ve informed the LCS about this; no word yet on it though.
