Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

Can anyone direct me to some useful information resources regarding phonological, morphological and syntactical differences amongst dialects within the UK, that is available online and free?

Re: Lesson/Guide Requests

A welsh guide!

I own three books for welsh, two grammars and a book meant to teach beginner to intermediate welsh.
Sadly, I've not found any of them much help...

Re: Eternal tense?

I don't think that every language regards time as something linear. I also do not think, that most languages have 'normal' tense systems, if that means past vs. present vs. future. You could use something akin to spatial deixis, maybe like present vs. non-present. If you take the circular more lite...

The portrayed speakers of my conlang believe in a kind of circular, eternal time. Is there any 'novel' way I could incorporate this into my noun's or verbal morphology? As far as I know, natlangs' with said belief tend to use a 'normal' (clearly with variations) tense system. They don't believe time...

On being a noob... And on my phonology...

So, I´m sure there are other posts on this - I have seen several, I´ve been casually browsing for an hour or so reading.. Today marked the day where I changed, for the third or fifth time, both the sounds within my phonology, and well, equally with that phonotactic constraints. For now I´ve given my...
