What did you accomplish today? [2011–2019]

[Leader Desslok]

Sound changes from the first to the second to the third stage of my language. Slow going.

[jimydog000]

Proto Rretgia - Dohaven - Ngangreet has 100 words.

[Parlox]

Ive been working on a new tonal language, which now has like 15 words.
Some stuff i am translating (Stories) are close to being complete.

[GamerGeek]

I abandoned Lingua Persona (I may revive it some day)
I'm creating a language and a bit of conculture of if I were left on an island with no outside influence...
As opposed to Lingua Persona, I already have two words—water (risa) and snake (sans)
The plosive series goes b t k, and I'm not how to get the fricative series (β s x) to diacronically work.
I know that there will be a trill /r/, which I just recently learned how to articulated. As I am adding trills, I should add /ʙ/. It is unlikely that these were originally trills, so they likely developed from earlier /ɹ/ and /bː/
The vowels will look like /a/, /i/, /iː/, /u/, /uː/, /ai/, /au/, but /ai/ and /au/ could both originate from /aː/ with rules for which is used. The short vowels /i/ and /u/ will become /e/ and /o/, and those would likely merge with /ai/ and /au/.
Anyways, essay over. I seem to like the word "likely"...

So there is this rule in Híí that goes

uR’ú → úRú

where R is any resonant m n s ł h w and u is any vowel.

And tonight I realised how nice this would be with suffixes that attract the accent. Like so:

nín’e + ː’e → nínéí’e
éíwıłtsınón’o + ː’e → éíwıłtsınónóó’e

And that made me happy as I sipped my Wyborowa tonic.

[Dormouse559]

I think that's the best part about coming up with a new feature, discovering all the ripples in the rest of the conlang.

[Ahzoh]

I came up with an alliance called the West Coast Alliance and created two new nations and languages as a result.

Delish Des as always!

Those examples you give actually remind me of Cheyenne, funnily enough.

[Parlox]

I have added 55 words to a new language, i have also finished a case system for its definite article, which has over 200(36 base) ways to be formed.

Thanks.

The forms I chose do look very similar to Cheyenne vowel-stretching/"Goddard's Law", partly because I chose a suffix starting in a glottal stop that causes lengthening of the preceding vowel. But then that was on purpose, because I love the aesthetic of Cheyenne and wanted to replicate the effect using different principles.

This vowel compensatory lengthening with metathesis of the glottal stop sounds vaguely familiar. Feels sort of like Coptic.
I will consult Vycichl and Loprieno.

Save me a wybrowa. Can I have a Tymbark jabłko~mięta chaser with that?

I would definitely be interested in learning more about similar processes in Coptic, so please do check if you have the time.

However, I feel compelled to point out that there is no glottal stop metathesis going on here. The glottal stop in the n’ clusters in the examples turns into a high tone on the preceding syllable if there is a high tone on the following vowel. The fact that the suffix -ː’e contains another glottal stop is incidental. Let me make up another example:

weırıssím’o + ːhto → weırıssímóóhto

Your cocktail is ready, btw.

I don't visit this forum much anymore but I decided to drop by in case anybody was wandering. ;)

I definitely have little time for creativity with my daughter suffering from colic, but I do work on something: I have rebooted Scosya, my high-tilt world. However, I don't feel this forum is the right audience for it, since it is a speculative evolution project, and it will take millions of years of evolution before I arrive at a species that can actually create a language. :)

Good to see you're still at work on something!

You are missed here. Hopefully there will come a time when you can be more active again...

[:o] We miss you back on the IRC. I've been waiting to talk to you there about Waxworld., especially it's spec-evo parts.

I am going to be on vacation the next two weeks, and I don't think I will be online much in that time. I will try to come and visit the IRC in July again. Talking about Waxworld is definitely something I would like to do.

[Ahzoh]

Made a new conlang, that I can't think of a fitting romanization for.

I call it:
/pɒly:qɒptʂɒ:/

/a a: ɒ ɒ: e e: ø: i i: y y: o: u:/
/m n ɳ/
/pʰ p tʰ t kʰ k qʰ q/
/f s ʂ χ/
/tʂ/
/r l w j/

Has a rather complex rounded vowel harmony
bidirectional:
a <-> ɒ
i <-> y
a: <-> ɒ:
e: <-> ø:
i: <-> y:
unidirectional:
e -> ɒ
o: -> e:
u: -> i:

Our first child had a really bad case of colic, and those are days I do not look upon fondly. But it does get better!

That doesn't stop me from posting world-building things in this thread; but I'm definitely more on the "world-building" side of the house, and don't mind seeing that around here :)

There's an IRC channel? Where?
