Hello, yes, we are independent. The USA just doesn't recognize our claims, unfortunately. Please keep your disagreements and political agenda out of this Oh nice!

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

I'm very much enjoying this look at scales, that's for sure. It's definitely nice seeing them built up rather than presented as something that just is . A lot of videos I've seen talking about scales and tuning treat scales as basically "here are the notes*, and here are the notes in this scale...

I was about to ask "is this a romanisation?" but "spoken in Siberia basically means "written in Cyrillic Palatalisation (assuming it's romanised as " ' ") looks like it probably only occurs on dentals/alveolars, and it seems like there's vowel length and falling diphtho...

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

I don't know, but I do wonder if the old "they'd accidentally made all their letters the same" excuse can be brought out again? "N" was a nightmare letter for them, and "c" wasn't that far from a vertical line, so 'cn' could easily look like either 'm' or (if they made...

Re: Qarshkī Language/Каршкий/قارشكئ

So this was copied straight from here (or a similar site that also used the exact same table), which, to be honest, leaves me a little less excited about the conlang. On the one hand, an entire section of text from the Wiki is just Persian, while this suggests that it's wholly Urdu (assuming the tw...

I am slightly disappointed to find, however, that the section meant to be written in Qarshki appears to be written entirely in Persian Well, initially, we read this: Qarshkī borrows many loan-words from Arabic, Urdu, Persian , Kurdish, Turkish, French, Latin, and English.
