Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
/t͡s/ > /θ/ is attested as a sound change, but is /θ/ > /t͡s/ attested at all? (Perhaps via way of /θ/ > /t͡θ/?) Finnish apparently The Finnish example is weird because it supposes a 'duke of york' shift */ts/ → */θ/ → /ts/ which is questionable to say the least (and apparently it's been repeated b...
Re: Yorkish
Hooray! I was hoping for a thread on this. Your samples looked juicy. Yorkish ( Eurcisc /ˈʏrcɪsc/) is an Insular North Germanic language spoken in Yorkrice (ie. across our Yorkshire and going partway south) and in pockets in Angland. It is closely related to its southern sibling Markish, I assume Ma...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
Something a little bit silly – the phoneme inventory of Delaware singing:
/t tʃ k/
/n j w h/
/a e i o/ + length
/tʃ/ only occurs before /i/
/w/ does not occur before /o/.
I love how it forms a complete little inventory all of its own.

Take all of the following with a healthy grain of salt; I have no qualifications at all. And I've never written a complete reference grammar, but I've gotten about half-way through before. Does anyone have any advice about how to make a reference grammar of a conlang in the style of a real reference...
