Re: Large Inventories
My conlang TLFKAT had several iterations where the consonant segments numbered nearly a hundred. I believe this version contained 101 consonants?
I should go back to working on it.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I lost sleep adding o to Apwapɨrɨng. Please elaborate! It’s not very interesting I’m afraid. Apwapɨrɨng is a language with two phonemic vowels /a ɨ/ and much allophony which thus far had only yielded the graphemes a i ɨ u . I’ve now decided verbs starting in /wɨ/ wu- when combined with the prefixes...

Re: What do you do when a conword happens to match a slur?
I wouldn’t do anything. A word the spelling or pronunciation of which happens to appear similar to that of a slur or expletive or embarrassing body part noun in another language is bound to occur in almost any language, constructed or otherwise. A string of sounds without intent to offend or harm is...

I’ve heard L1 speakers pronounce it with silent h.Khemehekis wrote: ↑09 Aug 2023 21:59 Yeah, that was what I thought, since Andy Warhol famously painted Campbell's soup. But moving the aitch two spaces earlier is a pretty strange misspelling (especially since we pronounce the /h/ after the R).

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
So, my current project has no grammatical tense. Time is marked via a combination of particles, mood, and aspect. However, despite having to tense marking, verbs are still conjugated for aspect and mood. Is this too weird? It is not at all weird. Many languages have more developed aspectual systems...
