Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread [2011–2018]
Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
An Indo-Iranian Language, forming a fourth branch, spoken along the Daying River Valley in China and Myanmar:

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
It's probably been about 2 years now since I've posted anything in this thread. Anyway, I've been thinking about rebooting Project Steppe. I'd like to call it something else, but the original name of the language, Kwenti, sounds a little too Elvish to me now.
Here's something I've come up with for the new version of the language. I'm not sure if I like it.
/p t k kʷ/ <p t k kw>
/s h/ <s h>
/t͡s/ <c>
/m n ŋ ŋʷ/ <m n g gw>
/j w/ <j w>
/l/ <l>
/i iː u uː/ <i ī u ū>
/ɛ ɛː ɔ ɔː/ <e ē o ō>
/ɑ ɑː/ <a ā>
/ɑ ɑː ˈɑ ˈɑː/ <a ā á ā́>
Phonotactics: (C)V(C)
C = any consonant
V = any vowel
C = any consonant
The sequences /kʷu ŋʷu wu ji/ are all disallowed. Essentially any two consonants can form a cluster. However, /kw ŋw kʷw ŋʷw ts/ are resolved as [kʷ ŋʷ kʷ ŋʷ t͡s]. Vowel clusters are not allowed. Two identical vowels, ignoring length, become a long vowel. For example, /ii iːi iiː/ > [iː iː iː]. When two non-identical vowels come into contact, if the first is /i(ː) ɛ(ː)/, /j/ is inserted between them. If the first is /u(ː) ɔ(ː)/, /w/ is inserted between them. If the first vowel is /ɑ(ː)/, /l/ is inserted between them. For example, /ɛːu ɔi ɑuː/ > [ɛːju ɔwi ɑluː].
Stress is unpredictable. Underlyingly, all roots have a single stressed syllable. Some affixes attract stress, while others are unstressed. Stressed syllables tend to be pronounced with a higher pitch than surrounding syllables.
Allophony:
Before other consonants and word-finally, /kʷ ŋʷ/ are often realized as [kʷʊ̆ ŋʷʊ̆].
/ɛ(ː) ɔ(ː)/ approach [e(ː) o(ː)] word-initially, word-finally, and, for some speakers, in all open syllables.
/i(ː)j ɛ(ː)j u(ː)w ɔ(ː)w ɑ(ː)l/ often become [iː ɛː uː ɔː ɑː] word-finally and before consonants.
Before /j/ or syllables containing /j/, /kʷ ŋʷ w u ɔ ɑ/ are sometimes realized as [kʉ̯ ŋʉ̯ ʉ ɞ ä]. Similarly, before /w/ or syllables containing /w/, /j i ɛ/ are sometimes realized as [ɥ y œ].
Most consonants are lightly palatalized before /i j/.
Stops are usually unreleased word-finally and before other stops, oral or nasal, and the affricate.
Following nasals, and occasionally when between vowels, obstruents are often voiced. Vowels are lightly nasalized before nasal consonants.
Geminate obstruents tend to be somewhat aspirated, and geminate sonorants are sometimes devoiced.
/l/ is pronounced as a fricative by many speakers when geminated and when adjacent to obstruents. For some speakers, /l/ is more rhotic, but for most, it is something like [ɫ~lˤ], especially around /ɑ(ː)/.
The exact realization of /h/ can vary greatly from speaker to speaker, but it is almost universally post-velar.
Examples:
<tótko> /ˈtɔtkɔ/ [tɔ˥t̚ko] "rope, cord, connection"
<kallúl> /kɑlˈlul/ [kɑɬˈɬˤul˥] "falcon"
<mī́gi> /ˈmijŋi/ [ˈmʲĩː˥ŋʲi] "moon"

I'm thinking it maybe ought to have one additional syllable template, since the possibilities are currently very restrictive. (In fact, I created it to satisfy my 26-syllable challenge, but now I'm thinking it deserves a little more.)
Maybe sCV or hCV, or perhaps (C)Vʔ or (C)Vh, or even CʔV. Any opinions?

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
I'm trying to design a personal language, but I'm still figuring out a lot of the phonemes. Here's what I have so far:
/m n ɲ/
/p b t d k g c/
/s ɕ ʑ ɸ x/
/l r j w~ʋ ʍ ʟ/
/t͡ɕ d͡ʑ/
/a ã e ẽ i ĩ o õ u ũ/
I really like palatals and liquids and semi-vowels, and I think my plosive inventory may be a bit too bulky for my tastes, but I won't do anything to it just yet. I'm also unsure of my fricative inventory. Nasals can occur word final, even /ɲ/. Other consonants are permitted as well, since the language is mora timed and there is syllable weight.
Thoughts, opinions, or suggestions?

Phonology of Culet:
/m n ɲ ŋ/
/p pʰ t tʰ c cʰ k kʰ/
/f v s z ʃ x ɣ/
/w r l j/
/a ie i o ɤ u/
consonants can form initial and final clusters
also, there are consonant mutations related to morphological processes.
seems that Čawač is a language without labials? (:

You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.

- K = One of /k g j w ʎ ʟ ь ъ/
- X = One of /p t tʲ k n ɾ m w j ь ъ/
- C = Any consonant, or /ь ъ/
- R = One of /ɾ j w ʎ ʟ/
- U = One of /p b t d tʲ dʲ k g ɾ j w ʎ ʟ/
- Before /ʎ j i ь/, /t d/ become [tʲ dʲ].
- Most initial geminate sequences simply degeminate. With coronals, it's a bit more complex. There's some progressive voicing assimilation for coronal stops that happens, and then the sequences /ttʲ ddʲ tʲt dʲd/ become [stʲ zdʲ ʃt ʒd].
- The yers tend to signify that something has screwed up, especially when /r/ gets involved as it is low on this language's sonority hierarchy—more plosive-like than resonant-like. In the typical case the yers crop up due to a violation of the sonority hierarchy, but are technically phonemic because there's only really four of them, and even then most of the time [m̩] assimilates to [n̩]. Palatal phones become /ь/, while velars become /ъ/, and the nasals just syllabify and assimilate to a following labial or coronal.

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
Looks like a good start. Are there initial and/or final clusters, or are clusters exclusively word-internal? Does "Algonquianino" mean anything specific, or is it just a random corruption of "Algonquian"? Also, if you'll excuse my nit-picking, I assume you meant something like /aː eː iː oː uː/ for ā ē ī ō ū?DesEsseintes wrote: ↑05 Aug 2018 20:25 This is Čawač, an idea for an a priori Algonquianino that I came up with because I can’t sleep.
