Re: What did you accomplish today?

I am thinking of making it a 12 base that collapsed into 10.

It is very difficult creating a mathematical notation system that is not a relex. And math is by far my forte

I recently saw the conlanging film an have recently been inspired by Tapissary and logographic writing systems and wish to make one.

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

On Noun Class systems there tends to be a "catch all" class where stuff that doesn't fit on other languages tend to end up on. Is this a process of languages where Noun Classes tend to become obsolete? I would believe so but not sure. Languages tend to move out from orderly things into mes...

Are noun classes divided to be solely prefix/suffix?

I'm wondering if noun classes are limited to be only as prefix or suffix. For example Y have a gender variant class for male, female and animals. Male and Female are suffix while animal is prefix. So that way I could specify dog (without specifying gender) ngirru , a male dog Ngirrutse of a female d...

I would like to see an example on a language where they are beginning to form, if any. [:D]

Resources o posteriori langs and language evolution

Hi guys, I just ran into Trigedasleng, which was created by David J Peterson as an evolution of the English language for the show the 100. I found it very interesting since I've had the idea of a Spanish/Chicano (Mexican American English) on the back of my head for a while now. I have not found that...

Re: Understanding noun class

If it can be used as a stand-alone word, that could be analyzed as it belonging to a noun class that is marked by a lack of affixation (or if the noun class system as a whole is known to be consistently marked by prefixing, you could analyze it as having a "null" prefix). There is nothing...

Re: What is vowel harmony?

However, I could imagine a system like /a e i o y/ where there originally was rounding harmony in high vowels only (as in Turkish), and then /u/ fronted to /y/. Alternatively, if you really want /u/, you could say that it only occurs in root syllables, and causes rounding harmony (i.e. takes /y/ af...

What do you guys think of the following phonetic set:

Updated version

p t k β ð g m n ŋ ɾ l r ʃ ts x dʒ w


Ejective p' t' k' only occur if their correspondent plosives (p t k) are on the last syllable of a word. If a suffix is added, lenition occurs


vowels are:
