Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Don't forget ablaut, umlaut etc
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
In English, ablaut is used to distinguish tenses in some words, or plurals.
And consonants are mutated distinguishing nouns and verbs.
Examples:
sing - sang - sung
/siŋ/ - /sæŋ/ - /sʌŋ/
mouse (singular) - mice (plural)
/maʊs/ - /maɪs/
breath (n) - breathe (v) (voicing of consonant)
/brɛθ/ - /briːð/

Dhivehi. How did you miss the screen tip?

I wasn't really paying attention to it. I just clicked it to go look more at it.
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Is there any good reason why the IPA doesn't show the palatal ejective? I notice Krov is using said phoneme in a lang, but I don't know of any natlangs that use it and am unsure if there is a reason why it would not be in the IPA. any help?
This is the world.
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Found you one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nez_Perce_language
You may as well ask why there's no retroflex one or a dental one, or any fricative ones even tho those exist too.

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I suppose I may get more luck here, is it more likely for /T/ (and its voiced counterpart) to come from a split with /s/ or a conditional lenition of /t/?
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
From /t/ would most likely depend if the other plosives are leniting. Otherwise, from /s/ and ɡet yourself a new /s/ from whereever.
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Thanks Krov. Can you direct me to where I can find some of the other natlangs that have the ejectives you mention?MrKrov wrote:Found you one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nez_Perce_language

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
At one time, I found a website with audio samples of ~40 languages. Now I don't remember what it was called, just that the speakers were telling a story.
Does anyone know of any website like that?

Hmmm, I only know about a website with recordings in 5930 languages....
sorry.

(It's some Christian missionary site, regardless of what you think of proselytizing Christians, they still have recordings in loads and loads and loads of languages.)

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Is there any language distinguishing plain vowels, long vowels, pharyngealized short vowels and pharyngealized long vowels?

Not quite the same, but helpful nonetheless.

Thanks. Also, using UPSID I could find a couple references about such a distinction.MrKrov wrote:Apparently so:
