Re: If Europe had adopted the Greek alphabet?
German: / p b t d k g/ < π β τ~δ θ κ γ> / f v ç~x h/ < φ υ χ ἁ> That is a cheat. You latinized the alphabet. According to Wikipedia, German has /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ rather than /p t k/. Since φ is /pʰ/ in Greek, if the language has /pʰ/, φ is assigned to /pʰ/ before being available for /f/. So do the other a...

There are two possible translations of this in Îçlo depending on whether the species of fox primarily lives in forests or fields or lives primarily in the desert: La vûlpe rápida cortecia sałta de sul caîne cassál [l̪ä ˈvɨːl̪pɛ ˈräːpid̪ä korˈt̪eːt͡ʃä ˈsˤɑːɫ̪t̪ä s̪ul̪ ˈkäjːn̪ɛ käˈs̪äːl̪] Al thałab rá...

Re: Challenge for conlangs with gender
But anyway, it's not unattested a country has two commonly used names in a given language, so the original question isn't stupid at all [:)] It's not uncommon for maps to have overlays so I guess use multiple colors on one country to represent it. I think native names should take priority over less...

Re: Challenge for conlangs with gender
How to choose a color when United States and United Kingdom are masculine, but America and Great Britain are feminine? That happens in some real-world languages. I didn't think of that. That happens with my language too actually. America also refers to the continent so the U.S. seems like the obvio...

Challenge for conlangs with gender
After looking on Wikipedia's article for gender and seeing their maps on Polish and French's use of gender for countries I thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's different gender distinctions and how they play out for each country. Here's Îçlo's http://i.imgur.com/KKbTdxX.png Simple masculine...

Re: False cognates
I always found it interesting how in modern Arabic ة is pronounced as /a/ and is used at the end of most feminine nouns and is used to make feminine nouns and adjective forms much like /a/ is used in many Romance languages.
