Re: Lagomorphese - Do These Phonemes Make Sense?
I'm not an expert on rabbits, but I will say if they have ɬ and ts, then they probably should have tɬ. Engála is a rabbit language made by David J. Peterson and Jessie Sams. Look it up on LangTime Studios on Youtube (it's Season 1). Thank you, I totally forgot about that. Also I checked out their l...

Re: Other Creativity
I'd rather not post and run like I did last time, so take this snippet from a 4k short story I'm writing: The Captain always had a bone to pick with him. Always sneering at him whenever he passed by, making pointed comments about his species whenever possible. Subtle enough for no one else to notice...

Lagomorphese - Do These Phonemes Make Sense?
(Copying and Pasting from my vintagecivet Reddit post ) I'm creating a proto-langauge for what are essentially sentient, anthro rabbits ~295 million years in the future. I want this language to have an overall softer sound, but I also want the sounds made to be plausibly made by a rabbit, assuming t...

Re: Development Thread: International Auxlang for Avianlithoids
Thanks! I was pretty worried that I had no idea on what I was doing. Hey, no problem. Happy to help. As of now, I'm trying to figure out all possible sounds they can make and what those can translate to in IPA. I looked at your new IPA, and it's a HUGE improvement. A couple notes: - θ and ð are lis...

Re: Development Thread: International Auxlang for Avianlithoids
A system using absolute pitch is conceptually perfectly possible, but seems unlikely in practice, because it would require the speech organs of each individual to be identical and invariant. I see. Thank you for the input! Is there any better language systems that can be used that rely on Morse-cod...

Re: Development Thread: International Auxlang for Avianlithoids
Hello! I checked out your IPA wrangling, and it doesn't seem half bad, though it is pretty confusing to me. What do the "tones" indicate? Is that the pitch of the clicks? Also, remember that just because they can detect 36 different pitches, does not mean that they will . Humans can disti...

Hi everyone! You can just call me Wildcat. I am first and foremost a writer. I've been getting back into worldbuilding for my hard science fiction story, and that includes conlanging. I have NO experience with linguistics what so ever, but I hope to learn! My main conlang project is coming up with ...

Development Thread: International Auxlang for Avianlithoids
These methane-based, insectoid bird-like aliens - called Avianlithoids - speak only in clicking noises like a cicada - right down to having a tymbal-like organ in their anatomy. The opening is in the back of their mouth like with a bird's larynx. They have tongues and teeth as well, but no lips. The...
