I was just wondering, is it possible to say that "adding more notes" (using various systematic approaches) is a response to 1) wanting to allow more more instruments/voices to come together in a single performance, and/or 2) wanting the ability to transfer more smoothly from one key(?) to ...

For me at least, you are going at exactly the pace I need and introducing everything in the order I need it to be introduced. Honestly, same. I think it's been presented in just the right way that even when something hasn't been explicitly defined, or a label not been explicitly explained, it's all...

C – 1:1 D – 9:8 E – 81:64 F – 4:3 G – 3:2 A – 27:16 B – 243:128 Oh my actual god, I feel so dumb [xD] Like, I still don't understand the difference between major, minor, perfect, augmented and diminished, but this is the first time I've looked at intervals and gone "oh that's why a "third...

Hello, yes, we are independent. The USA just doesn't recognize our claims, unfortunately. Please keep your disagreements and political agenda out of this Oh nice! Wasn't sure we'd see you back after I deleted all of those posts between you and Qarsherskiy the other day. If it means more about Qarsh...

I'm very much enjoying this look at scales, that's for sure. It's definitely nice seeing them built up rather than presented as something that just is . A lot of videos I've seen talking about scales and tuning treat scales as basically "here are the notes*, and here are the notes in this scale...

I was about to ask "is this a romanisation?" but "spoken in Siberia basically means "written in Cyrillic Palatalisation (assuming it's romanised as " ' ") looks like it probably only occurs on dentals/alveolars, and it seems like there's vowel length and falling diphtho...

So someone at D&D said "doots birty" instead of "dirty boots" (like 4 sessions in a row that kind of mistake was happening. Spoonerisms all of the shop), and we've unofficially started calling ourselves "Team Doots Birty" Now, nerd tangent begins, "t" &quo...

I don't know, but I do wonder if the old "they'd accidentally made all their letters the same" excuse can be brought out again? "N" was a nightmare letter for them, and "c" wasn't that far from a vertical line, so 'cn' could easily look like either 'm' or (if they made...

I am here to teach people about my language and culture. Please do. Have you heard of the words “AL OUS AL ULOOZ” ? No, I haven't heard of those words in that romanization, though they sound slightly familiar. BTW, you do know this isn't a chat forum, right? Please explain what the words (expressio...

We do sometimes use Roman and Cyrillic alphabet. Would you mind posting the Roman and Cyrillic versions of the alphabet that they use alongside the Arabic version?

So this was copied straight from here (or a similar site that also used the exact same table), which, to be honest, leaves me a little less excited about the conlang. On the one hand, an entire section of text from the Wiki is just Persian, while this suggests that it's wholly Urdu (assuming the tw...

So I'm not sure what the last few posts are about, but may I remind you both of the House Rules , especially regarding being civil and no flaming/trolling I suggest taking this off the Board , and sticking to the topic at hand EDIT: Typically don't delete posts without a request from the user, but t...

I am slightly disappointed to find, however, that the section meant to be written in Qarshki appears to be written entirely in Persian Well, initially, we read this: Qarshkī borrows many loan-words from Arabic, Urdu, Persian , Kurdish, Turkish, French, Latin, and English. Qarsherskiy is usually wri...

I have a feeling that Qarsherskiy doesn't really know what he is doing ;) Definately enthusiastic about their work. Thats oft a good thing. That was my feeling, for sure [:)] We were all new to conlanging/conworlding once, and it's always nice to see someone come at it with enthusiasm. It's what we...

I've been looking at scale-building on and off for ages now, and I've only just worked out the whole "build on relative pitches" step you mentioned (3-2-3-2-2 as your example) and man that's helped understand, I think, a little bit better what makes a scale "good" (in terms of, l...
