/l/ is yellow for me also, but /ɫ/ is yellow-green because /ɣ/ is green to me

Might be better to call it oblique than accusative , then. Also, mean woman, ignoring him like that. imcá-á-dá-w-at 3PL-ITERATIVE-communicate-ANIMATE These don't add up. Is the w epenthetic? If so, I wouldn't mark it at all, or I would just gloss EPNTH or something. Also, 3PL = we? hmm, that's a go...

An excellent and informative presentation, and reminds me why i love discovering the underlying workings of language.

today i discovered the wonder of MS keyboard layout creator and made a layout for Imcádáwat I also moved my notes so far onto a wordpad document, and i created my first sentences: wuite šánisaf súbówicořadaí.

working on a side language and did a good bit of the basic grammar in regards to nouns and verbs, i've decided to call it Imcádáwat [imtʃa:da:wat] imcá-á-dá-w-at 3PL-ITERATIVE-communicate-ANIMATE we speak (always) playing around with a tripartite system (my favorite) and some new stuff like verb inf...

/ʀ/ definitely,
also like /ʂ/ and /ʐ/

for vowels /ɛ/ is probably my favorite

In languages with obviation, the 3rd-person-obviative is sometimes called "the 4th person"; and some of these languages are said to have a "partial 5th person", the "further obviative", which usually shows up only in genitive constructions. I thought you might have mea...

Ooh must be fun to be able to type in Greek! Know the feeling - was very much like when I first started the Japanese layout years ago. Felt a bit different at first because hiragana. Got used to it in no time tho. the layout is extremely similar to the qwerty layout, barring a few differences, the ...

Wrote a 1 page of my senior paper (it has to be a minimum of 5 pages) and set up Polish and Turkish keyboard settings on my computer. Now I can type in all of the languages I'm learning conveniently :mrgreen: i learned that you can set shortcuts to each particular keyboard layout the other week, i ...

Ιοζέιστης [O.O] [dancing] [twirling] :ell: :con: :!: I didn't even consider the fact that it could indeed be a Hellenic conlang. I just thought it used the alphabet.

If you're unsure of where to go with on your own, or would like a helping hand to get your started into the world of conlanging, I agree with using Describing Morphosyntax, it's such a wonderful book. I also recommend Mark Rosenfelder's book The Language Construction kit. (the version on zompist is ...

It's a language that isn't a direct relative of greek, but heavily influenced, being place around the area of the aegean islands. So I wanted it to be fitted into the standard greek alphabet of the time around koine~modern. sho was a letter introduced (from my understanding) into other languages who...
