Re: Tirmasz: Oghuria revisited
I've come to a bottleneck because much of the inherent Oghuric vocabulary Is unknown to us, especially those peculiar to Oghuric and absent in other Turkic branches. The same can be said about other innovations such as sound changes and semantic shifts. Chuvash alone has limited value, as it has a ...

Tirmasz: Oghuria revisited
Foreword (copied from [C]Hesky gramatika Tirmasz tełej , i.e 'Concise Grammar of Tirmasz', in the earliest stages of progress) Tirmasz represents my latest attempt at a Turkic conlang, and at conlanging in general, in a while. I have had a pleasure to work with Zythros Jubi on his Carpathian Bulgar ...

A provisional, incomplete table of the conjugation of Lebanese verbs.

Re: Rōmī d'Levnōnī : a Lebanese Romlang
I've been debating with myself on whether or not to retain final -s in nouns and verbs (as in Old French). The consonant is retained even in Greek even to the present day, and I'm sure Hellenophone influence was as strong as that of Latin in Roman and Byzantine Beirut/Berytis.

Re: Rōmī d'Levnōnī : a Lebanese Romlang
Inflection One of the most remarkable features of Lebanese inflection, in comparison to other Romance languages, is the replacement of the "unmarked" present with a construction based on the present participle. Thus for faxēv* 'to do', we have: Present faxetšo 'I do' faxetš / faxettaš 'you...

Declension: From Latin to Rōmī d'Levnōnī (henceforth Lebanese*) The first declension: prul a / prul ē 'girl' The second declension: prul / prul ē 'boy' The Latin 2nd dec. plural suffix -ī merges with the plural suffix -ē of the 1st dec., possibly due to Syriac influence.

Re: Rōmī d'Levnōnī : a Lebanese Romlang
That looks interesting and somewhat reminds me of Gothic for some reason [:D] Will there be a set of regular sound changes? Nothing too definite at the moment; just a set of vague ideas: - spirantisation of stops (/p t k b d g/ > /f θ x v ð ɣ/) except in geminates - s which was most likely an apica...

Rōmī d'Levnōnī : a Lebanese Romlang
I remember reading somewhere of Beirut being, during the Roman/Byzantine era (correct me if I'm wrong) a largely Latin speaking island amidst a sea of Syriac and Greek speakers. So I thought to myself, why not add another Romlang to Conlangeria? Basic vocabulary, for starters: Numbers 1 ēn, ēne 2 dū...

Re: Hike 訮家 -- Sinitic con-topolect
If the language is spoken in Central China, why would it use traditional characters instead of simplified ones? Is there a big diaspora? Because it facilitates searches into Wiktionary, which heads entries using the traditional characters by default. Wikipedia seems to prefer traditional characters...

Hike 訮家 -- Sinitic con-topolect
Hike 訮家 is a Sinitic language (or clade) currently spoken by ca. 850,000 Zoroastrians and Manichaeans in Central China. It is an offshoot of the Middle Chinese of the Qieyun, but has undergone several sound changes which rends it distinct from other Sinitic languages: - Aspirated stops turn into fri...

You might want to look up Gothic Loanwords in Spanish and Portuguese: Evidence for Sounds and Sound Changes by de Acosta if you haven't done so. I trust that the paper will be a great boon to the development of your conlang.
