While I was messing with syntax I came up with this idea: let verbs absorb the preposition of a noun, making that noun a grammatical object (thus allowing two objects in a sentence). This would make possible two distinct passive forms (a bit alike the two passive forms of the double accusative in En...

If you want a "the most information in the littlest space" language, I'd suggest you to take a peek at Ithkuil
You could steal something from it
Your language looks so auxlang-ish, however. I wouldn't really suggest it for a videogame, but it's up to you

I think now I've understood the main difference between /kʷ/ and /kw/(even if, as Ephraim said, it can be broad). Pronouncing /k/ before /ɯ/ or before /u/ (differing only in roundedness) will result in different /k/ sounds. The former would be [kɯ], the latter [k̩ʷ̩]~[kʷu] Then, adding another vowel...

Ci sono anche io nel gruppo
L'Italiano con solo due pagine di thread fa pena. Riattiviamolo insieme o mi ritroverò a fare degli immensi soliloqui con me stesso

romanizing the contrast between /e/ and /ɛ/ and between /o/ and /ɔ/. As an Italian, I always use è /ɛ/ and é /e/, ò /ɔ/ and ó /o/. Funny thing is, even though ó is used in Italian when clarifying the pronounciation (for example in dictionaries), it doesn't appear on keyboards and I have to copypast...

Wow, that was a lot ANADEW... especially Visible Speech
I share a lot with its vowel system, with consonants Visible Speech is clearer but more incomplete, and has to use a lot of inner, outer, close, open
But yep, ANADEW at its finest (or rather APhoneticAlphabetADEW)

Why? For fun and to be able to get the height+backness (or place+manner of articulation) of a phoneme just remembering its shape. Mostly for fun. How does it work?

Simple as that. How do I distinguish /kʷ/ and /kw/? Or how do I distinguish between /t͡s/ and /ts/, and affricates vs. clusters in general? All of my teachers think Italian still pronounces <qu> graphemes /kʷ/ as in Latin, but I've never seen the IPA of an Italian text using that instead of /kw/ My ...

Languages like Latin and German, while they do still make a nominative/accusative distinction, have neutralised it for a lot of nouns. That's what I was going to say. In Latin nominative and accusative always coincide with neuter nouns, and often coincide in the plural NOM and ACC of plural feminin...

The language is spoken, but the capital letter thing can only be conveyed in the written language

In Elcuin currently a capital letter on a relative pronoun marks a restrictive phrase, and, on a noun, works as a determinative article.
Should I make it a spoken thing instead? (like, by adding a suffix or whatever marking a restriction in meaning, eg. <car>=a chair, <carna>=the chair)
