Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Isn't this problem solved by articles? Of course, only if Gallo-Tuscan uses articles before the possessive pronouns like Italian or, IIRC, it used an article after to' like all of the romlangs I know about: to' il pan (??) 'all the bread' vs. (il) tò pan 'your bread'. I chose not to use it alongsid...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Possessive Pronouns I've run into a bit of a problem with the topic of possessive pronouns, so I figured I'd go over them: 1s: Masculine singular: mò/mon Feminine singular: ma/m' Plural of both genders: mièi 2s: Masculine singular: tò/ton Feminine singular: ta/t' Plural of both genders: tòi 3s Masc...

Re: Silvish

I'm don't know if there are verbs of the opposite persuasion, where their consequences are almost always undone; it feels like an odd concept, though. Only thing I can think of is how in English “thought” is used overwhelmingly to imply that what someone thought was wrong eg: “I thought he was..” A...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Italian City Names Gallo-Tuscan has a large number of unique names for various cities in Italian. Some of the changes may be slight such as Sièna simply taking an accent mark. Others may be more noticeable. Below are some of the most notable: Milan /miˈlɑ̃/ - Milan Nappel /ˈnɑbel/ - Naples Torin /t...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Cî Just thought I'd do a little post about the digraph <cî> since it's one of the most odd parts of the orthography. In Gallo-Tuscan the digraph <ci> is used for indicating /t͡ʃ/ before a vowel. This even applies to /t͡ʃe t͡ʃɛ/ which are written <cie~cié~ciè>. Thus the expected form before <i> woul...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Loving this thread. I like aposteriori conlangs, especially ones that are creative without losing sight of realism. I'm looking forward to more! Thank you! I really appreciate that. I'd say my conlanging style in general is a lot like how you explained this one, just with differing degrees of reali...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Imperative The imperative has a number of irregularities, some of which I'm still working on. For all verbs the 2s imperative is the only one with a completely distinct form. The 3s and 1p forms are always identical to their present subjunctive forms while the 2p imperative is identical to the pres...

Re: Curiosities in Finnish

I quite like how mies & poika meaning husband/man & son/boy is both the opposite of French where femme & fills are wife/woman & daughter/girl, and also aligns it with Hungarian férfi (man) which etymologically means husband+boy. You can probably also see that most kinship terms for f...

All of Gallo-Romance tells me to throw it away, but I just can't let it go [:'(] It was very hard for me to get rid of the preterite in Gallo-Tuscan for the sake of realism so I can relate to this The pasó kompozó ( avê or ettre followed by a past participle) has replaced the pasó semplo as the gen...

Is this related to the word Glires (as in, rodents + lagomorphs), by any chance?
It's derived from it. Why scientists chose to use the Latin word for dormice for such a broad group, I have no idea.

4 Major Stem Changes I know I'm in the middle of verbs right now, but this is something I thought I'd bring up. The first two changes apply to verbs and are completely regular phonotactically but I still thought would be worth going over. The later two can't easily be guessed by phonetics. /ɛ ɛ̃ ɔ ...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

It's replaced the present subjunctive in some Arpitan varieties. I haven't heard of this actually! If you have any sources for it I'd love to read it. I had another question that I forgot to ask: What form is used when expressing "What if …?" Typically the imperfect subjunctive but if the...

Think I usually say "nonperfect". [tick] [:D] This is probably a typo, but just FYI [:D] Thanks for pointing this out it was definitely a typo! Does the subjunctive have perfect forms, and can they be used in the subordinate clause of porché ? Thanks for bringing this up because this case...

Perfect Tenses Discounting the present perfect (which functions closer to a preterite) there are 7 perfect verb forms. These are formed by conjugating the respective auxiliary verb in the appropriate tense and then following it with the past participle of the verb in question. The perfect tenses an...

Re: Gallo-Tuscan

Future/Conditional I'm going to breeze through this because it's so similar to other Romance languages and the perfect tenses are much more interesting. The future/conditional stem is formed by taking the infinitive and adding the following ends (left for future, right for conditional): 1s: -ò/-é 2...
