Re: Guess The Language!!!
My knowledge of languages is not the greatest, so I have no clue what to guess. But I can always make some observations: it appears to me that in most words, front and back vowels do not co-occur. This might be random, but it might as well indicate vowel harmony. The whole thing looks Turkic to me,...

I'm probably still very much of a scrapper, but there seems to be a recent trend towards filler-ness among my latest group of (yet unscrapped) conlangs.

Re: Chalean (çaleanu)
So what's with the <ç> in the thread subject? I don't see it in your orthography or phoneme inventory. Could it perhaps be an exonym of some sort?

Re: Favorite Phoneme!
Alright then … [ɣ] has been a favourite for some time now. And I'm starting to get over my dislike for [v] (it's in my newest lang) … (and I fear I'll soon be drooling over [θ] and rounded front vowels as well Oh wait, no way!)

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
FWIW, Wikipedia's List of Glossing Abbreviations includes CNTR for "contrastive" and AN for "animate", at least. However, the abbreviation for "object" is listed as OBJ here - and I'm pretty sure that's also the one used in most actual glosses I've seen. The Wikipedia ...

I have this little thing from my new language " psrət lląmsįən ": Nouns and pronouns generally don’t inflect, but there are a couple of exceptions in frequent use. The most common one is the inanimate plural infix ⟨n⟩ which attaches directly after the first consonant of the word. kșoop → k...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I got (partially, temporarily ? ) fed up with my proto-language, so I started working on something Khmer-inspired instead: psrət lląmsįən [ˈpsrəʔ‿ʔlɒmˈsɨə̯n] I call it. (Yes, I like me some all-minuscule orthography.)
