Re: Indo-European diachronic collablang
Why wouldn't vowel colouring occur before laryngeal merging/dropping as happened in every single branch of IE?Win: We have merger of h₂ with h₃ [probably h₁ = h (non-colouring), h₂₃ = ħ (a-colouring)].

Wow this is fantastic. I love the aesthetic, it feels very Finnish influenced but different enough to stand on its own merits. The topic-focus system is great as well, and explained in a very easy way. I don't have much more to say other than 'more, please!'

Re: Indo-European diachronic collablang
2. How should be look the palatovelars' reflexes ? a). ç ʝ b). ʃ ʒ c). s z d). θ ð e). we stay with an affricate stage (c͡ç~t͡ʃ~t͡s~t͡θ) e), specifically t͡s d͡z. I agree, although it could always become (d) later on, as in Albanian. We could also go the Albanian route and get a tʃ dʒ out of the la...

Re: Indo-European diachronic collablang
I'll vote b as well, but why do you say fricative rather than affricate?
I'll propose d -> d, dh -> t, t -> t for the next round of voting, which I don't think happened anywhere.

Re: Ni'ónotíín - Esseintially just Latin really
I have a dilemma here, though: What to do with /d/ before /i j/? I don't think I want a voicing contrast in the fricatives... You could go the Spanish route and have it become /x/. According to the Wikipedia page, Arapaho contrasts /x h/ which you don't seem to have at the moment. It might also giv...

Re: The Most Average Conlang Ever, NP: Qmachah!
You can just nominalize the clause as a whole, like using their example, "the enemy's destruction of the city" would be something like "the the enemy destroyed the city(-ing)". I'm not sure if that's the most common thing since WALS does not discuss the languages with no action ...

Re: The Most Average Conlang Ever, NP: Qmachah!
Make sure to check out the different orthographies in the previous post; I've been thinking of placing it in the Balkans, simply because of the cool scripts there. The language will be variously known as Қмачах, Maçah, Ματσσαχ and, historically, عماشاخ. Syntax Continued Slightly More Complex Sentenc...

Re: Language practice thread
En français, espérer est une piège ; il devrait utiliser le subjonctif (du point de vue d'un étranger) mais il ne l'utilise pas.
In French, espérer is a trap; it should use the subjunctive (from a foreigner's perspective) but it doesn't.

Re: The Most Average Conlang Ever, NP: Qmachah!
Ugh, so I'm running in to problems with the chapter on action nominals . They seem to be very, very liberal in what they are calling 'action nominals', and I'm not allowed to use any of them. Does anyone has advice on how some Australian or North American languages manage without? As far as I can te...

Re: Tloko / Omya redux
All of what you said is completely reasonable and well informed. A scholarly answer that I appreciate, very much. De nada! It wasn't particularly scholarly, it's more just what happens in real world syllabaries. Clawgrip would be the one to go to for a scholarly answer! Having said what I said abov...

Re: Tloko / Omya redux
I think most logographic syllabaries come from pictographic systems, so it would likely be mostly 3, although you would expect so arbitraryness and probably also some relation to the syllabary. I can imagine if glyph X that was used eg for 'pala' came to be used for just 'pa', the glyph might be dou...

Morpho cont. So the articles are probably going to be more along the lines of specificity, as I've been looking at Polynesian languages a lot recently. They aren't restricted in use, and they are pretty obligatory, maybe not quite as obligatory as French though. Numerals and Quantifiers Qmačah has ...
