Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
It's been a really long time! But hi, I'm back, if anyone remembers me (and I don't blame you if you don't).

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
It can be for entire words, too, yes. However, unless you're comparing orthography to phonology, I'd say you don't really need them.LinguoFranco wrote:EDIT: Do I use < > for words, as well, or is that only for single letter transcriptions?

Comanche does, as well as several other Amerind languages around those parts, but AFAIK they're not analyzed as phonemic.All4Ɇn wrote:Are there any known languages irl with a contrast between voiced and unvoiced vowels?

This all is very cool!

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
So, I'm thinking of adding pitch accents to my language. The low pitch (à) represents creaky voice. Could I have high vowels for the high pitch where phones like and only exist as the high pitch variances of /e/ and /o/ and are marked as /é/, /ó/, etc? That seems unlikely; AFAIK, there is no correl...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
My main concern is whether it's possible to have both /θ/ and /ɬ/. Now I've always loved /θ/, and only recently have I managed to properly pronounce /ɬ/, so I'm at a big dilemma here, as I believe they would logically merge historically. Icelandic has both /θ/ and /ɬ/, and their /θ/ isn't even dent...

Make a [k] sound, but shift the position of your tongue forward slightly so that the blade of your touches your soft palate instead of the back of it touching your velum.LinguoFranco wrote:How do yo pronounce the ipa sound [c]? I know it is a palatial plosive, but Idk how it's pronounced.

Re: Ciphers into Conlangs?
But what if you did something more radical. I'm not talking about just substituting written language characters- what if you actually used a phonetic cipher on english, then change how the grammar is arranged. Say you change word order, and/or turn prepositions into postpositions, glue particles on...

Given the first statement is like, exactly as long as in English (which is generally considered to be around the middle of the compactness scale), I think you're doing fine.

Re: How to color a height map?
I think this would probably something like what you're aiming for? You open your heightmap in it, then under the Image menu there should be a submenu called Lookup Tables: any of those will change lightness into color.

Re: Simplelang
There is a problem with this phonemic inventory, and it isn't the /f v/ contrast. Samoan and Tahitian have that as their sole voicing contrast. That's just off the top of my head - I am pretty sure I've seen that contrast in other Austronesian languages, and Papuan languages as well. No, the proble...
