Do you use a dictionary program? If you do what one?

I use a fantastic program called Pages

Edit: There is an updated version of the dictionary.

How would it work and is it free?

If I had my way, my diacritics would look like this:



Unfortunetly they look like this:

I am working on a conlang that uses a consonant based alphabet with the vowels written as marks above the consonants (similar to hebrew). However, I cannot figure out how to make a font for this kind of alphabet. (I have tried using fontforge but can't seem to get it working.) Does anyone know of a...

Aww, oppressing in the local language is a nice touch. It's that little extra something that shows that you care about your colonial oppression. [xD] I know, right? I think it just adds that extra bit of color to any conworld. [:)] (my letter "c" key broke -.-) yes, my kommunist konation'...

theres a consonant /j/ in "\-) /juː/" should change to "\-) /uː/"

Tıáko ı araı. Especially Czech. Funny, I usually took Polish vocabulary and modified it greatly; Took Polish word for month and warped it to "mjůcy". And yes, ž, č and š are the same as they are in Czech. I made some quote; Zéj ko amnago méd és zéj žjé kysovet néd! The day you can kill me...

It feels Slavic. Very Slavic.

And I don't even need large consonant clusters

Is it natural for a language to have one nasal vowel? Or perhaps as an [allophone]? I thought I'd have the polish <ą> that makes the /ow̃/ or /ɔ̃/ sound. or maybe i'd have it as an allophone of /a/ before /mb/ and when it's between a fricative (f, v, z, s, etc.) and /nt/ kamb /kɔ̃mb/ and zant /zɔ̃nt/

What do you think my lexicon looks like? Similar to any language? "És aman és bénam myskna komyžam ét Déaka ryňo zos bénam myskna, adž zos bénam myskna ryňo zos komyžam ét Déaka? Nézys, kompat myskna és zodýč ét ara ynzys. Is what is good-morally commanded by God because it is good-morally, or ...

many people say I should study linguistics... due to my detailed interest in it, but it's just a hobby...

but to say, could we consider ourselves self-taught linguists?

Might be silly to ask, but what are phontactics?
Is it like you can only have this many onset combination, what can go in the nucleus, what goes into the coda or if there's even one?
Like for example a language can have /zm/ together but not /sm/?
