Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not certain Finnish actually had θ > ts. As I understand it, [θ] was spelled <tz> and later <ts>, and this became the basis for a spelling pronunciation in the standard language, which was influenced by Swedish speakers. The sound [θ] had previously devel...

Re: False friends and other unfortunate coincidences
A quick google search suggests to me that both words can be used in both senses in both languages?WeepingElf wrote: ↑28 Nov 2021 16:17 böjningsmönster 'inflectional paradigm'

The fun fact is that both are built from perfectly cognate words.

I've removed the old Mississippi icon. If someone wants to make a new one with the new flag we can add that, but on the other hand I don't think I've ever seen this icon used to begin with? Ooh, an excuse to procrastinate? [:P] Will this work? https://i.imgur.com/SDNNQGB.png Hah! Yes, of course. I'...

Re: The day before the day before yesterday and the day after the day after tomorrow.
It's semantics is still interesting. How does 'another day' start meaning 'the day before yesterday'. Actually, 'second' might be a better translation. The construction (the) other [unit of time] seems to be recurrent in several European languages, at least, when referring to units of time further ...

It would be nice to have phpBB a tag for glossing, like the one the ZBB has. phpBB comes with its own mechanism to make new tags with HTML replacements. Here is what the ZBB uses. The phpBB code: [gloss={TEXT2}]{TEXT1}[/gloss] and this is the HTML replacement entered into the relevant phpBB admin p...

Re: Korean transliteration
Same in Swedish ones. The capital of Korea used to be spelled Söul, which is the same as in older German.

Re: Conlang YouTube, Metal Music, Emotions, Etc. [Split]
Youtube's default setting is to hold potentially offensive comments and spam for review (you can change it to allow all comments being published immediately). So if you go to the Held for review tab, you might find some lost comments there. It is also my impression that you'll still be notified of c...

Re: Vowel Harmony and Diphthongs
The existence of diphthongs like /oi/ and /eu/ in Finnish made it seem clear that the secondary vowel of a diphthong is irrelevant to vowel harmony (at least in some languages), but then I read on Wikipedia that /i/ and /e/ are neutral in Finnish, which sent me back to square one. I haven't read th...

Re: The Esseintial Ch’eweyõw̌e Blog
I enjoyed reading this (which is to say the posts from this year, since I figured the previous ones were out of date). I too like the general esthetic of the language. The various processes give it an extra layer of depth without going overboard. As for the phonetic realisation, acute-accented sylla...
