Gadle ober is divez i trir parter. (more historical) Gädl öbr is divz i trir pärtr. (more phonetic) [ɡæːᵈl ɤːβɐ̆ is diːβz i triɐ̆ pæːɐ̆tɐ̆] Coda prestopped resonants become simple stops Coda /β/ falls off Gäd öbr is diz i trir pärtr. (more phonetic) [ɡæːd ɤːβɐ̆ is diːz i triɐ̆ pæːɐ̆tɐ̆]

Gallia iest õmîr divisa in partêr trêr. ['gal.lia jest 'õː.miːr di'vi.za in parteːr treːr] Geminated resonants are pre-stopped Initial clusters are broken up with a (short) copy of the following vowel Final clusters are simplified Gadlia ies õmîr divisa in partêr terêr.

On that note, a blog post by transhimalayanist Guillaume Jacques (in French): Le français parlé, langue polysynthétique ? In the comments David Marjanović is contrasting this phenomenon with what's happening in a German dialect, which knows cliticization but hasn't fused the personal indices to the ...

Here is a simplified extract of my diachronic work on Travis B.'s Laqar to explain how to assign stress based on weight: # The * feature value is the default value Feature type (*cons, vowel) # Vowel Features Feature height (open, close) Feature frontness (front, central, back) Feature +stress Featu...

I think I got all sound changes from Proto-Laqar to Old Laqar to Classical Laqar right. I tested them on the vocabulary and some cells of the verbal conjugation. Behold, the .lsc file: # The * feature value is the default value Feature type (*cons, vowel) # Vowel Features Feature height (open, nearO...

On the Old Laqar page you wrote that "stress is always the left-most of the last three syllables of a word". But Classical Laqar forms do still have the stress on the Proto-Laqar stressed syllable, so there evidently never was a regularization of stress in the meantime. If stress is indeed...

Two questions, as I'm trying to write those sound changes in Lexurgy: Proto-Laqar stress is dependent on syllable weight, but how so? Is a closed syllable with a long vowel heavier than an open syllable with a long vowel? What about open syllable long vowel and closed syllable short vowel? Regarding...

As for full multigraph support, I think Lexurgy has it, IIUC. Or maybe only simple multigraph support, idk. I defined the combining tilde as the diacritic for the feature [+nasalised] , and the output puts it correctly on the vowel if I have a "nasalisation" sound change. But when I use a...

Your Conlangjugator, of course. And that's all I could find.

Question - how do you write it such that stress influences segments not adjacent to the segment the diacritic is on, e.g. aspirating a fortis explosive separated from the vowel by other members of a consonant cluster? Lemme try... Feature type(*cons, vowel) Feature Articulation (lenis, fortis, aspi...

I would be impressed with an SCA with real stress and suprasegmental support at all, since this is an area which SCA's are notoriously poor at, and which is why I don't use an SCA for Laqar despite it seeming like it would benefit from one with the complexity of its diachronics. Lexurgy SC . The ab...

I have a conlang with obviative pronouns and possessive suffixes, where obviation is simply not distinguished on the latter. You could also use another strategy whereby you forego the possessive suffix and only use a distal demonstrative with the noun, or even grammaticalise another thing into an ob...

I chanced upon it when catching a frame of David Peterson and Jessie Sams' YT show LangTime Studio. This is an endeavour by one Graham Hill, and it has the peculiarity of working at the same time as a categorical SC (like Zompist's SCA 2 ) and a featural one (like JS Bangs' Phonix). In effect, I fin...

My thoughts exactly. But this post is far more detailed.

Now, we know how the sun-living die (same as us I suppose), but how do the moon-living die? Is it always triggered by a birth? What happens if a vessel is desacralised?

Very intriguing, I wonder if given a text of reasonable size and without knowing the principle behind the thing, someone could come up with a different analysis of the phenomenon. The phonology is nice. kata xthóamske t'urpo cheanteoo language.00 difficult(y).10 very.20 strange.10 "(a) very dif...

For French, that's because the (unstressed) pronouns still have the same position they had in Latin: before the verb. So these clitics never really moved . For your other interrogation, note that I'm speculating, but I think it's possible for verbal person marking to come from possessive markers, wh...

In addition to nominal suffixes, there's a subordinating suffix -ni which comes last. When it follows accusative -ne they fuse as -nei . They have to bear at least one of the possessor, case, or subordinating suffixes. Forms with no suffix or no suffix besides plural -mo do not exist. They have som...

Final n assimilates to the place of articulation of a following consonant, and is transcribed as m when realized as such So /aŋka/ is written amka ? Nouns inflect for case, number, and the person and number of their possessor. The structure of an inflected noun is stem-(possessor suffix)-(plural su...

From the odd list. I tried to stretch it at the maximum: 21. ETRIK trick 22. SEKRIC screech 23. EPLOT plot 24.

Those games are made available with Steam Play, a manager of compatibility tools (in this case Proton ). It is possible to toggle the settings to enable it for all titles. I haven't tested it that extensively, but at least I can again play the games I purchased on my previous OS. Does it work for t...
