Classical Ĝate n Tim Ar
It's about time I became more active here again, and I have the day off, so I might as well do something while I'm doing nothing. Classical Ĝate n Tim Ar (hereinafter CT ) is a Tim Ar-O language and was spoken at the zenith of the Classical Period of Tim Ar history. It was the dominant language unti...

I want to say that *kw > p occurred somewhere in Chibchan, so it’s attested in the New World too.

Re: SCs needed... esp. fortitions, lengthening words
High vowels can generate a consonant with the same POA word-finally. High vowels can also change into affricates at the same POA directly before another high vowel (as is believed to have happened in various situations in Lakes Plain). High-tone vowels can break, and then you can epenthesize a conso...

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread
can a language develop positional voicing even for its sonorants, such as liquids and nasals? Yes, this appears to have happened to a very small degree during the development of sonorant allophony in Wichita : The allophones [ɾ] and [n] are in complementary distribution : It is [n] before alveolars...

Re: Another triconsonantal project
This looks really interesting. I love the idea of a triconsonental sprachbund. Thank you! Yeah, I was kind of thinking, "what if triconsonantal morphology were an areal feature?". I've got a few tricons or putative families thereof—Raholg, Wǫkratąk, something else from a while ago that I ...

i don't have much experience with triconsonantal root-based (con)langs but this looks like it is/will be pretty thorough. i'm curious as to what your syntax will look like or be capable of.

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread
I'm not aware of any sound change where this has happened. That being said, the combination of voicing and the glottal mechanism would make me think that you could realistically get away with it.bbbosborne wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 3:45 pm can breathy voiced plosives turn into implosives, e.g. /bʱ/ --> /ɓ/?
