Re: What did you accomplish today?

I resumed conlanging on Buonavallese because I received the addresses for the Conlang Card Exchange.

Re: What did you accomplish today?

Aided by a creative outburst while I was listening to some music, I drew the (near-)perfect picture for my Conlang Cards this year.
The only thing I have to do is to exchange some buildings and add some text (and re-draw it in ink).

Ich wollte mir für 2018 eigentlich einen neuen Avatar zeichnen (ok, ok, er wird zu 90% abgepaust sein, weil ich nicht gut zeichnen kann – Beweis genug ist mein jetziger Rodentèrraner-Avatar – dafür könnte man nich mit dem neuen Avatar aber auch auf der Straße erkennen). Ooh, ich will mitmachen im Ex...

Re: Forum News discussion/feedback thread

Wow, the current redesign of the CBB is very much screaming “21st-century minimalism”.
I like it (except that everything in the post editing screen is sort of mirrored).

Now it's perfect – please don't change the colour scheme anymore!

Re: RIP cursive handwriting..

I was taught cursive in grade 2 ( Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift ), but my usual handwriting continues to be terrible to this day. Two years later, I received a small book on improving one's handwriting and the look of one's schoolwork: Inside were a few different scripts, and I soon learned to read a...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I translated this song into the early South-Western dialect of Middle English (from a ca. 1250s London dialect). I erased all references to Christianity if this translation ever were to be used in a special context (Fantasy-RPGs) and a German translation is on its way.

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

1. Modern English still contains words starting < wr >, often homophonous with words starting < r >. wrack/rack, wrap/rap, wrath/rath; wreck/reck, wrest/rest; wright/right, write/rite; wrote/rote; are just some examples. I understand this reflects an originally phonemic (-etic? I think it's -emic?)...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I had an idea for the health care system in the Ladroman Republic.
One thing may be said: If the state-provided services aren't enough, one can buy additional modules, specific to one's needs, from semi-private insurance companies.

This is a literal shower-thought.

Re: Collabromlang

94) How many cases should we aim to retain
b) 2

95) What case should we remove first
f) Vocative

(If I may, I propose this order: Voc: (is dropped), Abl: -> Acc, Gen: -> Dat, Nom: -> Abl-Acc)
