Re: English Dialects

Mine's a Scottish accent, though one with a slight Doric hint (since I'm from the North-East), though more general since my parents come from different parts of Scotland.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

This is just a quick idea that popped into my head, and I'm not even sure if I'm planning on using this idea, but I was wondering if "voiceless harmony" is something that exists, or seems feasible. As in, a system similar to Guarani, except an entire syllable must be voiceless (with a voic...

Re: Speedlang VIII (May 4, 5, 6)

Thanks for the interesting rules! Prosody is probably my favorite part of phonology but by having to make it grammatical, it added an extra dimension to the challenge. Well done. This was very fun and I definitely want to participate in more. I could agree more! This was my first speedlang event, a...

I would also like to take part, and it's my first time, so I'll just wing it!

Also, my girlfriend is called Maria, and I sing her that to annoy her all the time, so I will share your enthusiasm through that song.

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

/i~ɨ/ /e~ə o/ /a/ Central vowels are fronted adjacent to palatal consonants. This phonemic inventory seems really interesting (I may just have to adapt/steal it for myself, if that's alright with you 😁). May I just ask whether you intended for the fronting rule to occur next to the palatalised bila...

Re: Question about languages in an 'unstable' conworld

I like your premise. I would like to hear more about the Onlookers, if you don't mind. I'm just glad that you like it! I suppose an explanation of the Onlookers definitely comes more under worldbuilding but I figure that I may as well talk about them here, rather than starting a new topic. The Onlo...

Re: Question about languages in an 'unstable' conworld

Why should language depend on civilization? The parts of each language that are still relevant to non-history-writing, non-city-building, non-metallurgy-using life, will continue to evolve as normal. (Or do the Onlookers always knock them back to before the Neolithic and therefore before farming?) ...

Question about languages in an 'unstable' conworld

...that statement probably needs a bit more explanation. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post such a question (since it kind of borders conlangery and conworldry) but I think it's more relevant to the former. So here goes! In my current conworld (tentatively dubbe...

Does it seem realistic for a language (based on the Semitic/Berber languages) to have [rˤ] but not [r]. Also, would [ʁ] or [ʀ] seem like a reasonable allophone for [rˤ]?
