Zompist Bboard Again

Thank you also for the wildcard "string." Perhaps if I may make a suggestion, making a list somewhere with all the special strings/characters and their functions would be helpful. As the program uses regular expressions, there's less of a list with all special strings and more of a gramma...

40. CCV syllables allowed but SSV or SSCV syllables not allowed (not including geminates) Slavic languages are considered peripherally SAE in Haspelmath's paper, and they allow SSV. However, they require the second plosive to be coronal, so they have /pt bd kt gd/ but not */pk bg/. The IE preferenc...

Heads-up: I've fixed a bug related to adding segments. Now that feature can be used. I'll definitely make use of this, thanks! Out of curiosity, Zju, could I edit the font used in the program manually? I use a specific font for linguistic purposes called ZRcola, which is able to handle a boatload of...

A sound change applier. It has features not present in many other similar programs, such as defining custom conjugation and declension patterns. Use cases: Word generation - a broad pattern of word shapes can be generated randomly, with phonotactics applied in the process. Relative frequencies of ph...

Welcher Dialekt ist das?
Which dialect is that?

What is the most extreme case of regularly ocurring metathesis documented? I know that some language (Rotokas?) has a synchronic VC → CV / _# in some of its morphology and that Proto-Slavic underwent {e o}R > R{ē ō} / C., but these are relatively tame. Is there something regular to the likes of, say...

Is there a dialect in which ore oar or awe are all pronounced the same?

Just how improbable is V[+creaky] → ɹV, maybe when conditional? I'm trying to get from strictly CV to CRV without vowel drops, onomatopoeias or borrowings.

Ich versuche meinen Sprachen zu üben, aber mir ist es langweilig in Kommentarsektionen teilzunehmen und dieser Diskussionsfaden hier ist nicht sehr aktiv... wisst ihr manche Foren in anderen Sprachen?

Do you happen to remember any more details? I'm interested in tonogenesis due to vowel cheshirisation.

"Vereinfacht" ist immer relativ.
"Simple" is always relative.

First, to add example (especially relational one), you have to add to separate "example" table. It is practically impossible to read the example except if you do a query. Over some certain lexicon size I'd prefer to type in select * from examples where word like 'lorem'; and have the DB d...

As for two - they come from PIE sigmatic perfective and a blending of -ē deverbal nouns with the non-suppletive aorist of the copula respectively.

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_...

Welche von ihnen war am häufigsten benutzt?
Which one of them was most frequently used?

So would having [fɪf] for 5th make the fifth ordinal irregular and the fourth one regular - as in, having-/f/-suffix-for-cardinals regular? Just how rare is having an irregular cardinal higher than some regular cardinals?

In dialects where θ → f, how is fifth realised?

I've been cobbling up the following phonology lately: /p t k ʔ/ <p t k q> /b tʼ kʼ/ <b d g> /?/ <j> /ɸ s ʃ θ x ħ/ <f s c z x h> /m n ɫ ł/ <m n w l> /a i u/ <a i u> The syllable is (C)V(C), and as follows maximum C word initially and finally and maximum CC word medially. Plosives don't occur syllable...

Warum ꟾ und nicht I? Ist das etwas von lateinische Buchstabierung?
Why ꟾ and not I? Is it something from latin ortography?

Moi non. J'aimerais bien savoir parler toutes les langues, mais je ne veux pas les apprendre toutes. I don't. I'd love to be able to speak all languages, but I don't want to learn them all. Ama bu senin arzuyu reddetmiyor mu? But doesn't that negate your aspiration? Non, pas forcément. Il faut qu'u...
