Re: Forum News discussion/feedback thread
There is a bug in XIPA — when converting from X-SAMPA to IPA, J\_ always yields ʄ, regardless of what is appended after. It's not that big of an issue as you can still select the proper symbols manually, and I don't know if XIPA is still being maintained, but it would be great if it was fixed. (apol...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
So, I read somewhere that Persian has the vowels /æ ɒː e i oː uː/. Why are some of them long and some short? Most languages that have phonemic vowel length tend to have them come in pairs like /a aː i iː u uː/, while in Persian, it seems that back vowels are long, and front ones are short. Are ther...

Re: Abaniscen
There are three 'number' affixes. The longer form is used after consonant-final stems. -(ne)mor : plural. Not obligatory, in fact usually omitted when context allows. Has an iterative meaning for action words. -(ne)hay : nullative. -(ne)nin : general. Can have a habitual meaning for action words, bu...

Re: Abaniscen
Is there a consistent connection between nominal and verbal meanings? Like, is there a formula to convert from one to another? (e.g. "instance of [verb]ing" or "to be [noun]") "instance of [verb]ing" is usually correct to assume. "to be [noun]" is covered by ...

Re: Abaniscen
Looks good! I'd been seeing it around in the translations, and was curious. Does the "oblique" serve along the lines of an ergative? It marks agents, but not the subjects of transitive verbs? If most words serve as the same class syntactically ─ celcore tia is "the dog speaks," ...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I don't think this looks like 416 years' worth of sound changes... most of them are pretty minuscule. Maybe some contextual changes? With every lexical set remaining undivided and only one merger, it just looks like a slightly weird 2024 English accent.
Re: Abaniscen
Nice start! The coalescence of consonants into palatalized and voiceless forms reminds me a bit of Icelandic. Although I am wondering about how ɾh hɾ > tʼ tʼ came to be. Thanks! The /tʼ/ can be explained diachronically: there was once /ɗ/, which became /ɾ/ in all contexts except _h_, where it remai...
Abaniscen
I think I should finally make a thread for Abaniscen. It started as a sketch for Lexember 2022 and I haven't scrapped it since then, which means that it is more than one year old! Phonology Let's start with the boring part. The phonemic inventory of Abaniscen is very small, consisting of five/nine v...
