Re: Language practice thread 2
Il a aussi conclus qu'il n'existe pas de cuisine belge, ce qui me confond un peu. They also reached the conclusion that there is no such thing as Belgian cuisine, which confuses me a bit. ¿Como ocurre eso?

Chagen appears more often on the CBB Discord if you're still interested in getting in contact. I don't think they have many conlang projects they're still working on other than Pazmat though.

Re: Interesting features of natlangs that can be used in your conlangs
Are you conlangs have /ɣ/ as a rhotic sound? Many natlang have, but only a few conlangs do it. What is a "rhotic" anyway? In my idiolect of German, I have the following changes: r > ɣ in onsets, and r > a̯ in codas (and I am planning to have this change in a conlang, too). But is /ɣ/ a &q...

Re: Are you a hunter-gatherer or a farmer?
Astrology (i.e. sun signs) did no better than chance. Pff, I never like when academics limit astrology to just being about sun/star signs (but to be fair, that's what a lot of pop astrology is too). I didn't think there was much to astrology, and to be honest I felt my sun sign had nothing to do wi...

Be positive (phrases)
I was thinking a lot of languages have really interesting idioms and phrases used to encourage and lift up people, and decided I should make a thread for it and figure out some for Yorkish. I'll make three categories (of course, with overlap) and give some English examples as inspiration: Congratula...

Demi blushes, "Oh, right! 'Mapasa'." She opens her book again to look back through her notes for a few seconds before she remembers herself. "Pleased to meet you all," she says and looks to Uminata, "Uhh, did I hear something about food earlier? How do you say 'I'm hungry', ...

Demi smiles at the sight and twirls a finger in her hair as she thinks about how to answer. "So it would be... Látumai? Uzayíka Demi Faylynn."
She frowns and says, "Is that right? I don't think I got the accent right."
