Re: The Sixth Conversation Thread

After a little over nine years of living with my mum and my brother (after marriage ended, neither of us could afford the rent on the flat on our own, so we both had to move back in with family), I can finally ( I think! ) move out on my own I've got two houses to go view on Wednesday and I'm excit...

Re: All About Musical Scales (and How to Tune Them)

So just to go back to the Slendro and the Pelog, I can't seem to find any information about how these are actually tuned beyond "they vary from region to region" or something to that effect (which... fair, I wasn't expecting some sort of standardisation), but I was just wondering if any o...

Re: 12 Word Cartographer – my process for drawing maps

I'd agree with Crey's recommendation of going to the Cartographers' Guild. I've not posted there in a long while, but do lurk, and there's a fair few people there who are really into world-building as a ground up process, and seem happy to share resources where they can I would say that if you have ...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

You have heard of extensive vowel syncope but have you heard of extensive consonant lenition elision (ECLE)? Imagine a CV language and every other consonant is deleted. You could link this to stress. If every other vowel has (primary and then secondary) stress, counting from the right, then you cou...

Re: A New IE Origin Theory

I came across an article on some new work on the geographical origins of Indo-European speakers and thought it might be of interest to the community. Also, I am hoping that Joerg might offer some comment on this. Origin of Indo-European Languages Traced Back to 8000 Years Ago Coincidentally, Weepin...

Re: Community Indo-European Subfamily

Surprised no one mentioned that we did have a project like this and it just sorta evaporated as it reached a natural conclusion We had an even older , similar, idea as well where a few of us tried to reimagine the whole IE family, and threw in a few "pre-IE" conlangs for some variety. It ...

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

Fascinating! One thing we tend to forget about this period is that although people still had very limited actual knowledge of the classical world, the supposed classical world of their imagining was an incredibly important part of their culture, with (often misattributed) classical wisdom being alm...

Re: Twinga language

I thought in Guarani nasal harmony, it was a stressed oral vowel that stopped nasalisation spreading, but it was only the voiced consonants had nasal allophones (that appear before nasal vowels, such that the prenasalised plosive allophones only appear before an oral vowel) Yes, it's not supposed t...

Re: Twinga language

Nasalization of vowels spreads to both directions as long as it meets an obstruent (plosive, prenasalized plosive or fricative).* * I have to consider more how prenasalized stops work. Do they stop nasalization only when it is progressive? Does this mean that nasalisation spreads through plosives, ...

I'll try to get a second guess in this evening. Had a bit of a busy week, haha No worries! [:D] Weeell I was wrong, and now I'm in Sheffield, lol If you think you might want to go ahead and analyse second guesses, feel free [:)] Might be another week for me and don't want others missing out

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

I suppose that makes sense. Overtone singing ("throat singing"), from what I've read and from what seems to happen when I practice (when I get a chance) is that it's a combination of backness and height (and rounding as well) that play a role in determining the overtone pitch (so like /i/ ...

Re: All About Musical Scales (and How to Tune Them)

I was just wondering, is it possible to say that "adding more notes" (using various systematic approaches) is a response to 1) wanting to allow more more instruments/voices to come together in a single performance, and/or 2) wanting the ability to transfer more smoothly from one key(?) to ...

For me at least, you are going at exactly the pace I need and introducing everything in the order I need it to be introduced. Honestly, same. I think it's been presented in just the right way that even when something hasn't been explicitly defined, or a label not been explicitly explained, it's all...
