The CBB

There's a chance I'll have to drop out, as (1) this has run right into my final exams, (2) 72 hours is a bit tight for me whether I have to study or not, and (3) I currently have no usable conlang. I'll do my best, though ─ keep me in for now. Alright – let me know if you want me to push you back. ...

PDF or plain text are both fine, as long as we keep moving.

Chustangiuplesh

chimènd
/ɕɪˈmɛnd/
"cement"

From Latin CÆMENTUM. Chustangiuplesh shows regular consonant mutation, hence thri cimiènd /θɾi tsiˈmjɛnd/ "three cements", chu nghimènd /hʊ dʑɪˈmɛnd/ "with cement".

Ai:

sö́bê
/sɞbɛF/
[sɞ́βɛ᷈]
"cement"

Borrowed from Indonesian semen (hehehe). Note how Indo iambs are borrowed with morpheme-level falling tone, realised as H-LHL, and /m/ is borrowed as the nearest equivalent, [β].

Okey

I must admit at this point that I've never actually done any conworlding.

Pray tell what these two morphemes are. Maybe present tense -c and 3.sg. -ɔ, and they're on top of each other?

It marks two different categories on one morpheme, so it's fusional.

English is fusional in as much as it is really synthetic at all. But that's not really very significant with borderline cases like English. Like -s is fusional for present tense and 3rd person singular, but it's also the only present tense marker, and the only 3sg marker, so like who cares

Apásssa is inspired by Caddo, Pawnee and Wichita, which are all polysynthetic and to a degree fusional. Apásssa leans into the morphophonology side more and requires a deep analysis to tease apart morphemes, as Kiwikami can attest to. Phonologically it's fine apart from having arbitrarily long conso...

That is a very pretty looking language.

Lexember the first (I shall be using a different conlang for each day, working back in reverse chronological order, and will only be coming up with words for "cement" regardless of the theme) Apásssa: hihaysastékpapə́y [hihɑjɕastɛ˥kʰpɑpej̥˥] yayyay=sa-st-ara-skw-aspaway in.water=INCHO-SBRD...

True

From the relay it seems that Apásssa would be a 6 or a 7.

Bear in mind that Karajá exists and distinguishes all of /ɨ̘ ɨ ɘ ə a/

Note that following categories is not mandatory you can ignore them if you want.

What is the etymology of "Pennine" in Pennine Alps and does it have any relation to similarly named mountain ranges like the Pennines and Apennines? Like, it can't all be a coincidence... From what I can gather, no-one really knows. There's definitely a connection between the three; the P...

This is interesting. I might have to try something similar myself (obviously it would have to have only 20 syllables to one-up you).
