Re: British Romance Language Collablang
The results are in!
-
90) How should the nasals /m n ɲ/ be written?
a) /m n ɲ/ - <m n gn~ni> (The alternation for /ɲ/ is based on etymological differences)
91) How should the vowels /i u e ə o a/ be written?
c) /i u e ə o a/ - <i~y u e e~a o a> (The alternations for /ə/ and /i/ are based on etymological differences)
92) Should Middle Brettaniot verbs maintain a distinction between the indicative and subjunctive moods.
b) No.
93) Guilliam I dies in 1110 CE. Stephen I is now 19 years old and ready to rule Britain. Who should he marry?
a) Matilda of Boulogne - Since Matilda is descended from the Pre-Norman Kings of Lyndein, this would increase Stephen's legitimacy, as well as that of any heirs he produces.
-
94) How should /k g/ be written?
a) /k g/ - <c g> (<qu gu> before front vowels)
b) /k g/ - <c g> (<k gu> before front vowels)
c) /k g/ - <c g> (<k gh> before front vowels)
d) /k g/ - <c g> (<k g> before front vowels)
e) Other.
95) What should be the fate of /t͡s d͡z/?
a) They should be retained.
b) /t͡s d͡z/ > /s z/
c) Other.
96) What should be the fate of /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/?
a) They should be retained.
b) /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/ > /ʃ ʒ/
c) Other.
97) How should /r l ʎ j w/ be written?
a) /r l ʎ j w/ - <r l li i u>
b) /r l ʎ j w/ - <r l ly y~i w~u> (<y w> and <i u> are interchangeable, but <i u> are never found as semivowels word-initially and between vowels)
c) /r l ʎ j w/ - <r l gl~li y~i w~u> (the spelling of /ʎ/ is determined etymologically, and /j w/ <i u> except initially, finally, and between vowels) - proposed by shimobaatar
d) /r l ʎ j w/ - < r l ļ i~y ŭ>(<y> and <i> are interchangeable, but <i> is never found as semivowels word-initially and between vowels) - proposed by samsam
e) Other.

These are the sound changes that have happened so far from Vulgar Latin to Middle Brettaniot.
And here's the current phonology of Middle Brettaniot.
Voting closes next Saturday at 21:00 EDT, or next Sunday at 01:00 UTC. Results will be posted around 30 minutes after that.

Can we see a small sample of the language at this stage, for instance the declension pattern of one or two common nouns, the conjugation pattern of one or two common verbs, and maybe a simple sentence too?

Re: British Romance Language Collablang
Since we've yet to vote on how affricates, fricatives, and diphthongs will be written, the following examples will be shown with an IPA transcription, and an orthography based on everything we've voted on for Middle Brettaniot, as well as how the fricatives, affricates, and the remaining diphthongs were written in Old Brettaniot. Those are only being used for demonstrative purposes.
Nostre pader que est en cel, que tu nome est santificade.
/nostrə padər kə est en t͡ʃel kə tu nomə est santifikadə/
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Conjugation of passar "to pass" (this is only one conjugation, the other two are e-stem verbs and i-stem verbs)
EDIT: While making these examples, I saw a problem. Should the sound change /oi eu ei ou ea/ > /we jo je wo ja/ not apply in certain positions? It results in words like /lje/ for law and /rjanə/ for frog if we don't.

Re: British Romance Language Collablang
Okay. I'll make it so it doesn't apply after word-initial consonants or after consonant clusters (really the only cases where it would be a problem). In that case, the words mentioned above would now be /lei/ law and /reanə/ for frog. Now we just need to vote again on what should happen to /ea/ in this position, but I'll incorporate that into the next round of questions.samsam wrote: ↑09 Dec 2018 19:37Yes, I agree.gokupwned5 wrote: ↑09 Dec 2018 17:31 EDIT: While making these examples, I saw a problem.

Re: British Romance Language Collablang
Oh, I don't mind words like /lje/ and /rjanə/, personally.

Re: British Romance Language Collablang
Yeah. Maybe we could vote on whether or not we should change the rules surrounding that sound change? I could include it in next week's questions.
