Re: American English Derived Collablang!
I meant that my choices have literally been "BAD". It's self-deprecating humor. I am happy with the thread, but would like to see the fruits of our choices so far, as well as getting into the messy grammar like Nachtuil. I see no contradiction here.
The accusative of <emo> is <eminem>.

Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry for ghosting, things just got really hectic. On the plus side, I qualified to the state tournament in impromptu speaking!

2: B
3: D(Shimo's)
This puts our vowel inventory at
/i u/
/e: o o:/

/a/
Consonants are at
/p b t d k g/
/f θ ð s z ʃ ʒ ç x ɣ h/
/ʋ l j w/
/l ʎ/
/n m ŋ/
+palatalazation
Will come up with grammar questions soon.

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
Thanks!
Stop!
It's grammar time!
1. Should our grammar move towards being more synthetic, or isolating?
A.Synthetic
B.Isolating
Other questions will be based off of this.

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
Hmmm....I wish we had an option C for about the same. I guess going in A direction is more interesting than remaining static.
1. B

A) yes
B) No

We need someone to break the tie!
Re: American English Derived Collablang!
I'll break the tie by changing my own vote. Instead of 1.a. 2.a I will go 1.c 2.a

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
In that case, The results are:
1C
2A
We can move on to how the hell that will work.
1:
I am open to various suggestions for 1C. I have a few Ideas:
of
on
in
to
at(loc)
at(dat)
Once we have a bunch, we can vote on which ones. I will probably take the most popular 5~10 depending on how many there are. \
2: Future tense
Should it be
A) a contraction based on will
B) something else
1C
2A

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
1. I think it would be the best to cliticize some that end in obstruents, so <of> and <at> among those listed, unless they don't anymore due to sound changes. They could be realized as [v] and [t] and assimilate in voicing to any obstruent that starts the next word. Prepositions that end in vowel could get an excrescent approximant so that <to us> and <through us> would be realized as [tuwʌs] and [θɹuwʌs] respectively.
2. B From <gonna>. It has the advantage over <will> that it always stands next to the main verb.
Spoiler:
The accusative of <emo> is <eminem>.
Re: American English Derived Collablang!
I need to think on this. What are all our prepositions looking like after the sound changes?
I feel as though the /t/ in "to" would stick around and be an excellent candidate for cliticization.
I think that is a good point about "gonna" that Idov makes.

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
Ok, so what I have so far are these:
-t(to (dat))
-at(at (loc))
-as(as)
-v(of)
-f(off)
-nit(into)
I think we can just go ahead an use these.
I have to return my school computer tomorrow, and I have limited usage of the family computer, so I won't be able to continue moderating this collab. It's been really fun, and I love seeing where this is going. If there's someone who wants to do it, I would love to pass the torch.

Re: American English Derived Collablang!
Honestly, that works for me. Shouldn't into become "int" though?
