Re: Non-English Orthography Reform
Why does Piraha use x for [ʔ]? It rips my eyes. I would use q instead.

Re: Tiwahelubasukeni / Tiwasukeni
1. B and H are the same pitch 2. You have got way too much redundace in vowels. In equal temperament (which is almost universal) flat of the higher tone or sharp of the same sound equally. Nonetheless, not every tone in a scale can be sharped or flatted. I recommend using 11 semitones in every octav...

I solved this by making myself a Greasemonkey replacing script
EDIT: very buggy and impractical script

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
How can I normally (no copy-pasting and no Maor etc. keyboards) write special letters, like the macron ones? I tried Alt+number, but it only works up to 256 and first 32 are even not the same as in neither ASCII nor UTF-8.

Introflection in conlangs
I'm momentally fascinated by ablauts, apophony, triconsonantal root etc.
I wonder, does even someone implement those in their conlangs? I sometimes do, but it seems it's pretty rare among us.

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Do you have some links to quality arabic textbooks? Not as those stub bullshits on first page of Google, which, for example, often squeeze verbs to like 3 screens-heigths.
*heigth, of course, I always make this mistake.

How can it happen that there is another phonology for men and women (like in Piraha)?

Re: What happens when a language loses tone?
IMHO the tonegenesis can just reverse. High tones to unvoiced and low tones to voiced.

I actually consider my L1 (Czech) pretty hard to document, so it's not so about knowledges.

Re: favorite exant and extinct natlang
Extant: Arabic and other semitic langs. Its triconsonantal root is awesome.
Extinct: PIE, its ablaut looks very interesting. Also Ubykh, fortunately it's documented from a living person.

Does anyone else find [q] and [ʈ] sound pretty similar?
