Re: Damta: A collaborative world
Ooft, long time without a post here! I've been taking time of Damta for most of the year, but the grand plan still is to develop daughter languages of Early Bokisig; I have sketched out three, but not got much further in the development. Even grander plan: I'm planning to, at some point, write a sh...

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
I don't want to search the 20 pages of this thread, what's the current year on Damta? I want to put Plakian languages on Damta wiki but I need some chronology :) So, there isn't really a current year so much as a range of time with different groups in different areas. You can see a timeline here: h...

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
Can I join? I have an idea of "Macro-Blekian" language family, divided into Core-Blekian & Highlands-Blekian subfamilies. The Core-Blekians will be nomads, living on a large basin (like Taklimakan desert but not desert, but steppe) The Highlands-Blekians will have more advanced cultur...

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
I've updated our page to include a rules section to comply with the new policy's requirement for having one. It's pretty simple at the moment and obviously place holder. Main page: https://damta.fandom.com/wiki/Damta_Wiki Wiki rules: https://damta.fandom.com/wiki/Wiki_Rules Edit: I've added a "...

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
Great! :) Yeah, I guess it does happen an awful lot!
Also, in my earlier comment I said dog breeds, but meant just any dog related terms.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for dog breeds. I can't wait for generic words for dog in different languages coming to mean specific breeds lol.

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
Here is another shot of a canaan dog. What a good boy hahaha. It is fun to imagine it making its home among the Txabao camps and such. I imagine the Kojikeng would later have several derived breeds. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VXFKTVcPCrE/ ... 145027.jpg

Re: Damta: A collaborative world
Who's going to domesticate the dog on Damta? What will the family tree of breeds look like? I think it is a really cool idea to have dog breeds local to certain regions and or cultures though I feel like maybe the initial domestication itself would make sense if that is something that occurs before...

Re: Question for a phonetically simple interlang
I have not read the whole discussion so forgive me if this is redundant but a language can completely lack labials if you want. See Mohawk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohawk_language#Phonology If anything having m and no n is odder but I mean, I think you're probably okay either way.

I'm okay with you taking on how aliens get into the picture. I just hope it is not in the near future but a little far off. Maybe after PS 14 000? Does that work?

Re: English pronunciations
Heck, I'll bite. :) "naïve" : /naˈjiv/ "naïvety", "naïveté": /naˈjivəˌti/, probably most often something like [nãˈjivəˌɾi] Honestly, I would not normally pronounce the last two differently as to me they are just alternative spellings for the same word. I might say /naˌj...

Re: Does anyone else try and actually speak or pronounce their conlang or is it all on paper?
I do try to pronounce things yeah. Not necessarily to learn the languages of course. While I am mindful my own sense of what is cumbersome to say is based on the combined phonotactics of the languages I have experience with, I think it is helpful to give clues to what kind of restrictions or allopho...
