Zompist Bboard Again

I don't think so, /ʙ/ usually is a result of lenition of /b/, like /r/ is a result of lenition of /d/ or /z/ (i.e. Proto Germanic > North and West Germanic)

Javanese is certainly this. It reminds me of batik: ████

Not aiming for it to seem Austronesian, though. (Don't know enough about Austronesian languages even to try it. Seems like an unreasonably broad target, anyway.) On particulars, I decide for /ɲ/ over /ŋ/ (and didn't want both). Comparatives will be parasitic on motion/distribution constructions; lo...

I made a conlang inspired by Kill Six Billion Demons Example: https://b2aeaa58a57a200320db-8b65b95250e902c437b256b5abf3eac7.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com/media_entries/19572/psalms41.png Ramkra prash shiy -ur Un- Payam nik -am iyam malrun -im yibr -am Yisun -am kin -am vūn -ar -sha sūvit yabur dyin -sha pran...

I thought that before I moved on to carefully get right the transition from Old to Middle Wenthish, I'd get a few words of vocabulary sorted out, so that I can see how the words and paradigms develop. I did some nouns, but I've always had trouble with verbs in this situation because it's harder for...

Thanks :) I have to confess that Indonesia has not really been a conscious inspiration here: the language only really gained an Austronesian-style alignment by accident. Partially this is due to a lack of good, accessible resources on Indonesian native cultures/traditional daily life, while there a...

I wonder, why there is a language that only marks its patient, instead of agent. (This is despite I speak Indonesian, that according to WALS, marks its patient). Although in Indonesian, it is actually a pronoun that gets reduced next to verb. (And actually Indonesian has a pronominal clitic that sta...

How about no case marking whatsoever while still having free word order. (i.e. The role of the noun depends on how you conjugate the verb). How about (this is by slot): 1. Perfect Telic/Progressive Telic/Atelic (Perfect telic: The action is finished before the timeframe, Progressive Telic: The actio...

Rkou

khed- (to cleave horizontally, to cut a tree, etc)
t'ad (loincloth with flaps in both front and back)

Can inanimate marker turn into obviative marker? I planned Middle Ku to have proximal-obviative, like Asent'o, unlike Rkou that have animate-inanimate one.

You're supposed to do a phonology after, just to clarify. I started the first RRCT as I call it. So we can have a new one to start with I guess I'll do it... a á b c ç ch çh d dh e é ë ê f g gh h xh i í j k kh l m n ñ ng ň o ó ö ô p ph q r rh rr rz s sh t ţ th ţh u ú ü û v w x y z zh ż żh þ ä â å a...

Maybe that's the goal.

Then you won't bother creating a database for that. It is much harder to distribute a database. Instead, you use XML. You query it using XQuery.

Having gotten around to it yet, but this is the approximate structure I plan to use for most or all dictionaries in the future: /*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */; /*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */; /*!50503 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */; /*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN...

Just to clarify, I haven't rejected morphological approaches. But I'm not asking about them, because I know the options there. The problem is that using exclusively phonological approaches: Sound change combines two word with similar pronunciation. Phonological change cannot split two word that is ...

Do you know how to create more than one conlang there?

Yeah, I used to use LexiquePro as dedicated dictionary software, but now I just do them in Excel. Grammars I do in Word.

Why about LexiquePro?

Also do you know application to create a conmap?

It's sort of split-split-S: split-S in the case marking, accusative in the verbal agreement.

That basically how Georgian works.

Please create me an orthography for my conlang Rkou.
