Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
What is the phonemic form of [fandrombəŋgə]? /ɸəəɴrəw ə ɴɸəɴxə/? There also seems to be a random phonemic /t/. Is this an allophone? There is a phonetically rendered [t], which makes sense to your diagrams. Would you shed light? oops You know what, I was going to put that! I even had originally put...

Re: Large Inventories
I have one conlang that could be analyzed as having 60 consonants - my usual analysis has 30, but labialization being preserved through Cə~CV- reduplication means doubling that could be defensible. kø̀ɶ̯tsʌʔ > kœˈkø̀ɶ̯tsʌʔ /kʷə-kʷea̯ɦtsʌʔ/ iχsxœtɬuɔ > ɪʔiχsxœtɬuɔ /ɨ-ʔiχsxʷœtɬʷɯʌ/ tsʼwàpœn > tsœˈtsʼw...

Kastas ... sucks and I'm probably killing it DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS In the earliest written records of Rau*, the consonant inventory is superficially similar to that of Old Kangshi, the source of the Rau script.

Re: Have You Made a Polysynthetic Conlang?
You're doing that Hmong thing, aren't you, with the illegal coda consonants to mark tone? And also that Thai Romanization thing where they use <v> and <x> as vowels? I haven't seen those Thai romanizations, although I vaguely remember Google doing something odd with <x>. I had a conlang with a roma...

Re: Have You Made a Polysynthetic Conlang?
'Polysynthesis' is a vague typological term. The languages of the Swamp Continent generally come close in various ways. Hlu has extensive verbal morphology, but doesn't really have polypersonal agreement, obligatorily marking only subject and benefactor: noechuehmaehlaeboqwiyayalekhi [nɤȶʰɯm̥æɬæɓoʔw...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
If you mean labial-velar, I don't think it's attested to have a fricative that patterns with /kp gb/. If you mean labiovelar, having an /xʷ/ that patterns with /kʷ gʷ/ is.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
On the other hand, is there anything in the phonetic/articulatory nature of /ɮ/ that makes it unstable and more likely to become /l/? I don't think so. I'm sure there are examples of ɮ losing frication, but I don't know of any - offhand the only developments I know of are ɮ > ð as an incipient shif...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
How do you evolve stress in a conlang? I want my conlang to have a lexical pitch accent a la Japanese or Ancient Greek. I'm thinking about having it start out with a standard stress accent, but overtime the things that distinguishes the stressed syllable from unstressed (like length) disappear over...

Re: Showcase Your Conlang
There are a number of languages in the world. Due to failings of virtue, the important ones are less documented than the obscure ones. One known important language is Zzyxwqnp , the arguable official language of the empire (loose confederation) of Zzxzzyx , the origins of which are lost to the sands...

There's a prefix in Tibetan (marking animal nouns among other things, IIRC) that alternates d- with g- depending on the following consonant, reflecting dissimilation (I don't know Tibetan but let's imagine d-gik but g-thom). The Tibetan preinitials d- and g- are in entirely complementary distributi...

I cannot pronounce [ɴ] . I cannot imagine both [ŋ] and [ɴ] co-occurring in the same phoneme inventory together except as allophones of each other. I assume it’s attested in some natlang; is it?

No, I was putting it off because there was a heat wave and I was lazy, but then I figured I ought to at least halfass it.
