hello everyone this is my rendition of the dominionese language, which got a tiny tidbit in a star trek: DS9 episode. more here . painful ass shit to rework backwards note: in the audio file there is an extra syllable in the second word that isn't written. i have considered that to be part of the wo...

also always /ð/, except in fast speech where it's really really backed and almost alveolar

if you want it, keep it. never do anything you don't want to.

lol how do you even pronounce this

i'd switch <o> and <ou>. personally i think it's a bit more intuitive So now: /ʌ/ = <ou> /ɔ/ = <u> Did i understand you correct? you switched <u> and <ou>, not <o> and <ou>. it should be /ɔ/ = <o> and /o/ = <ou> Can i get an example of each sound to ensure that i am understanding correctly what eac...

The problem is that the whole system assumes that inanimate nouns normally serve patient roles and lacks an elegant way of handling inanimate agents. can you elaborate more on your system? why not...

lol


i'm pretty sure i drop the /θ/s completely and just pronounce /f/s

Not mine, but David J. Peterson has remarked that if he's working on a language where, for whatever reason, he has decided the orthographic representation of long vowels will be a doubled vowel letter, then that language can never have long /e/ and long /o/ - he always gets rid of them by dipthongi...

i once changed a phoneme because i found out i had typed it slightly wrong everytime in my sample sentences

or maybe [fɪfs]?

i once added like 10 moods to a language to avoid auxiliaries

i once combined 3-4 places of articulation as "postalveolar" so it would fit on paper and just put a bunch of footnotes clarifying it

nope, but i was considering a 5th person. twice as good
