Not strictly a today thing, but a few days ago, I started working on my own sound change applier. It has basic features (though it works quite differently from other sound change appliers), but it might be lacking in more advanced stuff. I do plan on adding features needed to express the sound chang...

Mixed fractions are not allowed, since conjunction is done through juxtaposition, which could be confused with a coëfficient.

one and half

... At least that's my best guess at it.

Wondering how I should do the joint agent/patient/tense conjugation on verb roots in levian10. Swahili and other Bantu languages prefix the verb with a complex morpheme made up of the follwing sequence: The agent’s (subject’s) noun-class (fusionally marking both its gender and its grammatical numbe...

Wondering how I should do the joint agent/patient/tense conjugation on verb roots in levian10. For reference, levian10 is a triconsonantal root language in which the consonants of a root can be reördered for inflectional purposes. 75 (5 each for agent/patient [0, 1, 2, 3 prox, 3 obv; number marked e...

Can we support https? It's not really a good idea to make people enter passwords through http, to begin with.

Planning to cover relative clauses in levian9. I'm set on the Rel/N order (same as Adj/N), but unsure of which strategy I should use or what should be relativisable. Thinking of using non-reduction, though, if I can't find something more unorthodox (aside from ditching relative clauses completely as...

The list would be too long if I did this for all of my languages, so let's look at the ones that haven't gone completely mad. Ḋraħýl Rase No rounded short vowels. Pivots are influenced by word order: When two predicates are joined, which of ERG, ABS or ACC occurs first in the first clause becomes th...

Not to mention that I turned the man's hair from white to grey, just because Middle Rymakonian uses the same word for white, grey and black.

On a sidenote, I used Middle Rymakonian for the relay.

I’m specifically referring to this (imo) eyesore here btw: https://i.imgur.com/XMkVkY5.png In my opinion, if you made everything align to the very left of that column, it would look much better. This might not be the case if every word took up at least 3 or so lines, however, if that’s what you mea...

Phonology for levian9 done. I'm returning to romanisations as I did with Ḋraħýl Rase and Varta Avina.

I have some of my ideas for syntax in my head. Especially inner and outer pivots.

20/1: Decided to add a new kind of name to Middle Rymakonian.

That's a good way to explain it.

Sorry about the rudeness. Didn't realise that you didn't know which document there to look at. It's out/7_1.pdf, in the first chapter. P. S. I was a bit surprised that people took my comment offensively. I didn't intend for it to mean "I told you to read my grammars a million times and you stil...

What's a rod signal?

RTFM

I would definitely ask permission in the future, or at least be open to taking down reviews if the creators ask you to. I know that I, personally, wouldn't want to have any of my languages reviewed in this way, and I'm sure I'm not alone. That said, and as you've already seen, I'm sure plenty of co...

Also, looking at your blog, I might be missing something, but I'm not entirely clear on how you choose clongos to review. Although in your third post you say you do know the creator, and that the creator requested the review, two of the posts say "Requested by no one". Do the creators of ...

Launched a new blog where I review clongos.
