Re: How unbalanced is your lexicon?

Romanz doesn't have a real lexicon yet - when a word is needed, I borrow it from Latin, Spanish or Italian and change it (if necessary)... [:$] *everybody laughs* But I made the first step and assembled a list of something like 5000 etymologies of words in Spanish and Italian. And I'm focusing on so...

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

I'm major dumb apparently. What is the difference between /ʟ/ and /ɫ/, that is the velar lateral approximant and the velarized alveolar lateral approximant. I am right to assess that nobody is "major dumb" over here, just requiring guidance to some extant? [Rhetoric question] (Awkward typ...

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

German declension... let me think... Do you mind if I translate the proverb to eradicate some misunderstandings? "Do not bereave the poor, although he is poor and do not suppress the wretched at the gate." Here, "den Armen" refers to a poor person, agreeing with the adjective (ar...

Re: Language practice thread

Quel type de problèmes? Jakiego rodzaju problemów? What kind of problems? Myśle że szkolne zadania. I wiem że mój polski jest barbażyński, gdysz tylko używam w czasie wakacji w Polsce. School assignments, I guess. And I know my Polish is barbarous, because I only use it during the holidays in Poland.

I currently draw a political/administrative map of my lands (i.e. the lands of my people/rodents), so it might take some time to show some results.

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I try to bring some chronical order into the sound changes of Romanz. Since any indication is vague and I only seem to find material for Castillian and not for Italian, progress is slow and single-sided. [:'(] :mrred:
