I'll do it with Waľavaľwa! (Thus forcing me to speed up the glacial process of semshifting.)

Re: Iramite of the Pillars - Progeny of a Lost Semitic
If this was even half as confusing for you all to read as it was for me to write I apologize and implore that you ask questions and point out better ways to organize things. I like what you're doing but, yes, that was kind of confusing. I might have: split the case irregularities and QRPS stuff int...

Re: Iramite of the Pillars - Progeny of a Lost Semitic
I really like the phonation chain shift! Is that kind of change attested in any Semitic natlangs?

Re: Speedlanging weekend V: 22th April
Wow, I didn't see this at all and was very busy this weekend. Wish I'd thought to check here. But I might come up with something for it this week, maybe on the plane Thursday or Saturday.

Re: Speedlanging weekend IV: Weekend of April 8th
I decided to pull out an old conworld that I haven't done anything with in 3 years and build my first conlang for it. This is Sîmăr Tedasu , a language spoken by a semi-aquatic/amphibious group of humanoids living on and around an island chain in a brackish subtropical inland sea. Phoneme inventory ...

What language does Google think this obscure natlang is?
Inspired by this thread over on the conlangs board , I became curious how Google Translate determines what language an unknown text is, and started to put in random samples of obscure (or obscure-ish, or sometimes just misleadingly transcribed) natlangs from the Guess The Language thread into Google...
