Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
In a language with allophonic variation that is predictable but can be triggered by an affix, how should one gloss it? Let's say a language has a consonant that's [d] before back vowels and [dʒ] before front vowels. Then let's say we have a word ráad and a suffix -i on it. How would I gloss this: rá...

Um... ─ they point to their mouth ─ Barbarbarbarbar. Ni "barbarbarbarbar" canar. Bi "canar le" cananar. Plenty of infixes here, hm! That <na> seems to mark past tense, but it wasn't there with ni "barbarbarbarbar" canar . I do also wonder if it's reduplication, or actu...

Re: Analysis Swap: Täptäg
I was going to hack at it much like we did in my Field Methods class. Our informant spoke English but had no formal linguistic background; we’d solicit tokens and she would provide them (though since Íröd is not earth, and things there often differ in some respects, I’ll provide appropriate notes i...

Re: Analysis swap: Abaniscen
As navieras i Tileyseren. Ah, so it's an infix. The question is, is it before the last consonant, or after the last vowel? I gesture towards Akkarahi's device. "As machina i Akkarahire?" I pause. "Akkararehi?" As, is machina i Acarahile. Bi canar i lesian i manti nana tutu... &q...

Sweet!
Do you want to do monolingual (like in the Abaniscen thread), or does your Täptäg speaker also speak English?

Even if Trailsend is inactive, I'm assuming they're still with us. I point to its bow and say, "As navieras i Tileysenes?"

Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum [comments encouraged!]
Klallam's pronouns *cn (1 SG ) *st (1 PL ) *cxʷ (2) become kakúsan sn st sx . Does Klallam have syllabic consonants, or is this a case of me misunderstanding something, and these are shown as only consonants due to the language featuring a high level of synthesis which means that, when not isolated...

More kakúsan (mostly grammar) ROMANIZATION Acute accent for stress: á í ú . /s̠/ is romanized <z>, /ŋ/ <ng>, and /j/ <y>. Aside from this, everything is romanized with IPA. THE NAME The native name kakúsan is derived from Klallam *q̓áq̓uʔ-úcən, meaning "stingray-language." It can be analy...

Absolutely nothing will go wrong here, right? Famous last words. Perhaps, heh. ARTICLES Old English's definite article had a vast number of forms, varying by case, noun class, and number. Most of these forms were lost in Ẹlnk, but it retains two: se , the singular, and a , the plural. The plural pa...

Minimal Phonology Salish Yep, we're doing this. I debated a lot whether I should do this from Proto-Salish (pros: it was spoken in the past, so I could do an alternate history; cons: not much grammatical reconstruction has been done that I can find) or Klallam (pros: I own a full reference grammar ...

Re: New Conlang - Sound Changes
I'd also like to note one thing: if this language is derived via (extensive) sound change from Daas, it cannot be spoken concurrently with Daas. Either all of Daas was affected by these changes, in which case Daas became this language, or part of Daas was affected by these changes, in which case th...
