Anyway, back to the topic at hand. This is great! I've played around with it a bit and it's the best word generator I've seen so far.

Let's try a Hispanic orthography. /eːn mixiʃaː/ <Én Mijixá> /m n/ <m n> /mː nː/ <mm nn> /p b t d k g/ <p b t d c-qu g(u)> /pː tː kː/ <pp tt cc-cqu> /ts tʃ cç/ <tz ch ty> /f v θ ð s ʃ x ɣ/ <f v c-ç z s x j g(h)> /fː θː sː ʃː xː/ <ff çc-çç ss xx jj> /w l j/ <h(u)-uh l y> /wː lː jː/ <hh(u)-uhh ll yy> /...

is something like /pʼ tʼ kʼ/ → /pʔ tʔ kʔ/ → /ɸʔ θʔ xʔ/ → /ɸ θ x/ (ejectives become plosive - glottal stop clusters, simplification of plosive clusters, loss of glottal stops in clusters) very plausible? I echo the thoughts of others here regarding (im)plausibility but here's an alternative: /p' t' ...

Monophthongisation of centring diphthongs

Here's something new, not only a romanization challenge but an etymology one. All I'll say is that it's an posteriori language and that the words are direct roots from the proto-language via Wiktionary. /m n ɲ/ /p t t͡s t͡ʃ k/ /b d d͡ʒ g/ /s ʃ/ /v ð l j/ /r/ /i y ɯ u/ /e ø ɤ o/ /æ ɑ/ + a length cont...

Uh, Earthlike? To be honest, I have no idea how to proceed with the astronomical situation.

Okay, so there's already drama and we haven't even done anything yet. @Foxcatdog Please hold your horses. We've not even started and you're already talking about substrates and other continents. Also please no plagiarism, even if it's with the consent of the ones being plagiarised. Anyway, how's thi...

I posted this in the Akana forum, but that's pretty much dead. Anyway, since the last post in the Akana forum was in Sept of last year, I think it's safe to say it's dead. I wasn't around for it, but I would like to be involved in another conworld project. So, anyone interested?

Apparently the website domain has expired.

Some ideas of my own: -Diminutive in prefix /lɪl/-. -"They" becomes the sole third-person pronoun, leaving first-person as the only person to distinguish number in pronouns. "We" and "I" subsequently shift to mean inclusive and exclusive, rather than plural and singular...

EDIT: Apparently Iwaidja also has adpositions which agree with the nominative argument. Evans speculates that they came from serial verb constructions. Serial verb constructions are probably another thing worth looking into, as it means coverbs can be introduced into the mix, which in turn means th...

Okay, so here's one idea I think is pretty neat but will require multiple steps to fully explain. First, the proto-lang is strongly head-initial. Second, there is no real distinction between prepositions and conjunctions. The same word can be used to mean both 'and' and 'with', for example. There's ...
