Can you also say "Il ne sait pas quelque chose." or "Je n'ai pas vu quelqu'un."?

Re: Poetry Challenge!

When I said I'd wish for a nicer poem I just meant the poetic aspect. I just don't find the meter/syllabicity, rhyme scheme and – yes – the content to be quite. http://i.imgur.com/27H7K.png [I didn't even read until the rape stanza when I posted at first.] But I still think the same.

Re: Taller and tallest!

In German, there's a pseudo-super-superlative that can be built with "aller-" in front of the normal superlative. So... you could say: "Die größten Kinder in unserer Klasse sind Adolf Schmidt, Frank Frotzenprachtschitzer, Sieglinde Schatzenkrachtspölzing und Klaus-Betram Müller-Hübels...

Re: How do you pronounce Google?

Oh God, this DarkGamma guy is so fremdschämable.

I am from Saxony and I pronounce it [gɯgl] or [gugl].

There's a pun in German: Die Welt ist eine Google; because Google and Kugel (ball, sphere, globe) [kugl] are so phonetically similar.

Re: Judge the Accent!

Cool idea! I didn't really hear a *real* accent in your text. [Maybe because I am only a beginner in French.] I might only imagine this but I think you've got this whole Russian voice thing going on.* To my mind you sound a bit guttural. I know, Russian isn't really guttural, but. I will record some...

I don't know, it just happens. I meant to say that I just mess up the <r> in French in a not so eloquent way.

No matter if Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg; both dialects predominantly use [r] instead of [ʁ]. :o When speaking English I try to speak without an accent.

What would your conpeople think of genetic engineering?

Your con-script seems kinda random. Is there a scheme behind how the syllables are constructed?

And your conlang sounds interesting but really drunk. :o
