Re: CBB Audio Relay I (Sign ups)
One final question: if there is a sentence that looks like it would be an idiom/saying, should I translate it literally? Oh, and this is officially the last time I will use Laakitlantu 1.0 for anything, continuing the tradition of all of my relay languages being scrapped / redone. You frankly can c...

Re: CBB Audio Relay I (Sign ups)
I'd like to join with Suave (god bless me accurately doing apical and laminal sibilants). I'm gonna have several bad weeks in the following months though, and may not manage to actually do it, but i am very interested.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
It's probably been discussed here before, but what is a vertical vowel system? And how does it work? And how would it evolve, and how would it affect derived languages? A vertical vowel system is a system in which backness is not phonemic but height is, the most usual example being /a ə ɨ/. I'm not...

Where do VSO languages usually position short adverbs like soon, again, unfortunately ... ? While WALS has no chapter addressing adverbs specifically, there is "Order of Object, Oblique, and Verb" (https://wals.info/chapter/84), which describes oblique as "An oblique phrase is a noun...

Count me in too, i'll probably be using Xooch, and if reorderings need to happen i'd much rather go earlier than later.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
A question here being inflected adpositions: if the adposition marking resembles possessor marking, should it resemble the alienable or inalienable set? Adpositions from relational nouns are extremely often derived from bodyparts so inalienable. You could make then alienable though, positing slight...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I'm making a conlang whose verbs are prephrastic, basically 'to be' + a participle. I'm looking for languages with quite compact synthetic verbs with much info in them (polypersonal agreement, TAM etc.) whose paradigm is not boringly templatic. What other languages I could check than Basque? I dont...

There are servers and the servers have channels. But also we already have a CBB discord server, I'm curious which server is it that theyre inviting you to.eldin raigmore wrote: ↑15 Jan 2023 00:26 I met a new conlanger on Facebook who wants me to participate on some Discord channel (if “channel” is the right word!)

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
How unusual is it, cross-linguistically, to have syllable weight determine stress, but having no phonemic long vowels? WALS has 18 of the 239 languages with weight-sensitive stress marked as "Coda Consonant" (as opposed to "Long Vowels" or "Long Vowels and Coda Consonants&q...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
How come in so many countries around the world, their stop signs say "stop", borrowed from English (I've seen it rendered into Cyrillic and Greek as well)? Has this always been the case, was it a later adoption, at what point was the word "stop" borrowed from English into so man...

Oh huzzah! It's a Christmas miracle! [:D] Wild! It looks like the beehive was conjured out of a Boral expression for "crowd"? Seems so! The Boral aucoum can mean both "beehive" and "swarm, crowd" [xD] When I saw loglorn's translation, my first instinct was that 'beehiv...
