Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum [comments encouraged!]
Klallam's pronouns *cn (1 SG ) *st (1 PL ) *cxʷ (2) become kakúsan sn st sx . Does Klallam have syllabic consonants, or is this a case of me misunderstanding something, and these are shown as only consonants due to the language featuring a high level of synthesis which means that, when not isolated...

More kakúsan (mostly grammar) ROMANIZATION Acute accent for stress: á í ú . /s̠/ is romanized <z>, /ŋ/ <ng>, and /j/ <y>. Aside from this, everything is romanized with IPA. THE NAME The native name kakúsan is derived from Klallam *q̓áq̓uʔ-úcən, meaning "stingray-language." It can be analy...

Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum [comments encouraged!]
Absolutely nothing will go wrong here, right? Famous last words. Perhaps, heh. ARTICLES Old English's definite article had a vast number of forms, varying by case, noun class, and number. Most of these forms were lost in Ẹlnk, but it retains two: se , the singular, and a , the plural. The plural pa...

"Ai, kahiþra!" says Suhakkan. "Ibiklu laap ukya Suhakkanan." Gesturing to the others, he says, "27) Ham o anni khayffin?"_Just_A_Sketch wrote: ↑20 May 2024 02:26 I walk over to where Suhakkan and the others are talking.

Minimal Phonology Salish Yep, we're doing this. I debated a lot whether I should do this from Proto-Salish (pros: it was spoken in the past, so I could do an alternate history; cons: not much grammatical reconstruction has been done that I can find) or Klallam (pros: I own a full reference grammar ...

Re: New Conlang - Sound Changes
I'd also like to note one thing: if this language is derived via (extensive) sound change from Daas, it cannot be spoken concurrently with Daas. Either all of Daas was affected by these changes, in which case Daas became this language, or part of Daas was affected by these changes, in which case th...

Ẹlnk Verbs INFLECTION The Old English verbal inflectional system has been ─ whaddaya know? Mostly leveled! The only remaining trace of inflection is that the participles, much like the genitive, were often lexicalized. It was the first person singular present that became the general form. Thus one ...

Re: New Conlang - Sound Changes
I've decided to give another artlang a try, this time not oligosynthetic. This is partially because I don't want to deal with the problems with Daas right now, and also due to the fact that one of my conspecies is now confirmed to NOT speak Daas. However, I do want the languages to be related parti...

Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum
A Tonal Anglic Language (Ẹlnk?) Derived from Old English. Probably not spoken on Earth, since the nearest contour-tone languages to the Anglo-Saxons were relatively far, and I don't wanna work out interactions with real languages. So this is more a thought experiment, I suppose, unless I get (or so...
