so would sikhism, jainism, baha'i... sure, they have cultural and aesthetic signs of their cultural origins, but like... so does christianity and islam.Buddhism would be shocked that you consider it restricted to an ethnicity or culture...and would probably ask "Which?"

Re: Softness and poeticity
of course the values you want are totally arbitrary, as many such things are, but the standard euro idea of what a poetic and soft language is going to is going to be plosive poor, voicing rich, and mostly CVC. also, take care to figure out the sequence of open and closed syllables you want, even ma...

Re: Music of the Tesazo
But the point is that in all these routes, musicians are arguing over whether and when it is acceptable to add notes. The idea of people sitting around arguing over which notes to not play isnt' one that really seems to make sense to me. It does to me. as an illustration, if you and me get together...

Re: Music of the Tesazo
You're most welcome: I'm all about conmusic being more of a thing. What I meant by tuning is like this thing about exactly how high or low your notes are: succinctly, we have all the 12 notes spaced evenly across the octave: like, the interval betwen C and Db is *exactly* the interval between A and ...

Re: Music of the Tesazo
Neato! I've long been thinking about getting into conmusic, but I've yet to come around to it. It's nice to see some popping up. this is, in a few ways, rather realistic in the sense of attested: I don't know that conflating form which note you start and the intervalic structure of a scale is very c...

Sal's right, but it could be that this is like a framework for a bunch of magic systems? such that specific systems of magic can instantiate the vague things in specificity so that, say, system A requires work in the sense of emotional work, the caster faces their own fears and, if successful, effec...

Re: Is English a logographic writing system?
English is not, functionally, logographic. It is closer to being so than other languages, but not even that much. While there are supposed to be rules for spelling and reasons for why cough dough sow whatever, I don't think those rules are real in the sense that speakers probably just know the seque...

Re: Romanization Aesthetics
I agree that there's no looking the best, and that there's much qualitativeness to what a romanization makes a conlang feel like. however, there is 'looking better' in some senses, pragmatically speaking at least. for example, at least for me Ŋali sæṇ mby øŋ ṣafu the subscript n and s look... well.....
