I'm tweaking Kastixex's 3rd person personal pronouns. For this latest draft... 3rd person animate M/F: based on OE personal pronouns for M/F 3rd person inanimate M/F: based on OE word for the/that with leveling by analogy 3rd person inanimate N: based on OE neuter person pronouns 3rd person animate ...

I decided to make a small tweak to the phonology: /h/ will instead be /x/ and will be realized as [ç] syllable finally after a front vowel /i e/ and the cluster /xj/ is realized as [ç]. In a syllable onset before a vowel, it may be realized as [h] or [x]. Elsewhere, it is [x]. I have also worked a b...

Something arrived in the mail today. https://reyzadren.neocities.org/storage/testprep_arrival1.jpg Yes, I finally bought the essential documentation of my conlang. https://reyzadren.neocities.org/storage/testprep_arrival2.jpg Size comparison with uni books. (width & thickness) https://reyzadren...

Just converted my Old English to Kastixex sound changes to a format readible by Lexurgy!

I appreciate and have used SCA2, but I like the options and power provided by Lexurgy.

I tweaked the personal pronouns. The main changes being a bit of leveling due to analogy in the inanimate pronouns, changing the 3PL animate pronoun from hie to hi in the nominative/accusative form, and realizing that I hadn't run the forms of OE eall through my sound changes when making the alterna...

I'm not ready for a full post on verbs yet, they are still very much a work in progress. I do have a number of ideas... Most of the contracted forms of the some 2sg and 3sg present indicative of some West Saxon verbs disappeared except for some common verbs Some new stem alternative arise from /i/ o...

Het has developed into an animate pronoun, used for people, sentient beings, animals, deities, etc. belonging to the neuter grammatical gender. Tet is used for inanimate antecedents in the neuter grammatical gender, like plants, rocks, abstract ideas, things, etc. Interesting. So is there a signifi...

A bit more on personal pronouns Kastixex includes a set of third person pronouns that are just for inanimate antecedents. https://i.imgur.com/I3e0ChP.png Also, Kastixex developed a couple of pairs of additional plural pronouns, made from suffixing -yalo (cf. OE eall ) or -odro (cf. OE óþer , cf. Sp...

I started working on the Kastixex descendants of Old English strong verbs and...wow, so many decisions to make: how much mess to leave, how much to level by analogy and regularization...

Decisions, decisions.

Looking forward to more of this! Only question I have so far is what you mean exactly by dun's dative singular form being dun(e). Thanks! When I wrote it, I wasn't sure if the -e would be there, as it would have been lost by sound changes. I have since decided that it will be dune with the -e added...

I think I'd go with <ch>, personally, but I don't mind <tx>.

I think I'm partial to <ch>, but Basque got me thinking about <tx> especially since I'm already using <x> for /ʃ/.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll stick with <k>. So, given: Consonants Stops: /p t k b d g/ <p t k b d g> Affricates: /tʃ/ <ch> Nasals: /m n ɲ/ <m n ñ/ Fricatives / f v s θ ʃ/ <f v s z x> Liquids: /ɾ r l/ <r r/rr l> Glides: /j w/ <y/i w/u> Glottal: /h/ <h> /ɾ r/ only contrast medially, where th...

Working on my Iberian Anglian lang, Kastixex /ka'sti.ʃeʃ/ and I think I mostly have the sound changes from Old English down; I'm sure there will still be some tweaks. I sketched some ideas verb periphrasis for forms outside of the present and past indicative and subjunctive (helping verbs given in t...

Yes, this language has historically palatalized /k/ before front vowels. If I made the switch, I probably wouldn't use <ce ci>. Historically, some of those <ce ci> would be /t͡ʃe t͡ʃi/ while newer ones would be /θe θi/ (by way of /t͡se t͡si/) if that makes sense. Of course, I could respell one of t...

For my Iberian West Germanic/Anglian project, should /k/ remain <k> or be spelled <c> before /a o u/ and <qu> before /e i/ in keeping with what's common with the Romance languages in the Iberian peninsula (Spanish and Galician being top inspirations)? A few questions, for context: Has this language...

Kastixex /kas’tiʃeʃ/ from “Castilish” from Old Spanish Castiella This new project is based on an alt-history in which a group of mostly Old English speakers ended up on the Iberian peninsula and then their language underwent sound changes similar to those that led to the development of Spanish and ...

I'm continuing to work on revamping Denkurian's verb system. I came up with the following ways to express various aspects. Verb aspects Continuous/progressive (‘to be doing’): progressive particle + infinitive Ja + VERB Ja hunot. I am eating. Perfect (‘to have done’): perfect prefix to the verb ma(y...
