Personally I think it's better to make a rough sketch of the phonology, just as for everything else. The fine tuning c...

However, this icon must be of the same size and format as the flag icons currently included on the board. If you include images breaking these restrictions it may be removed without notif...

Before you present your conlang, bear these in mind: 1. Make sure there is actually some phonology, grammar or distinctiviness of the language to be posted about. 2.
