It's only average with respect to WALS which gives me a lot of leeway. Yeah...that's probably less interesting to me. The wide birth you have means that essentially you can make whatever kind of conlang you fancy and that means it is less "average" than it is whatever you want it to be ba...

Kāore e taea e au te kōrero te Hīperu, te Ārapi rānei.
I can't speak Hebrew or Arabic.

Mehemea kei te matatika au, kāore rawa e taea te kōrero te Reo.
If I'm being honest, I can't really speak Māori either.

I'm in cautiously with Qmachah - cautiously in that its vocab will need a big boost before it's usable.

Care to be more specific? You like the idea but not the language itself, or you like the grammar but not the aesthetic and the word forms, or what? The aesthetic doesn't *feel* average to me...more Slavic, or Turkic, and the vowels don't look "common" by any measure. That being said, you'...

So I just completed the torch for the List relay, and after taking a small break, I have found that I actually quite like this language. I was thinking I might have to do another revamp, but it's actually come along really nicely. I thought it was about time for another post, so I'll go through and ...

Rikchik is an exosignlang.

In terms of transcription, check out SLIPA.

I still don't understand why the voting system needs to be changed, and I'm not completely sure I understand these other voting systems themselves… at least, most people still voted in a way that I can't figure out how to tally in either of the proposed ways. I tried, I really did. I've been stress...

I have found a short grammar and lexicon from 1907, and I can upload it for you when I get home if that interests you?

A question like this might be easier with and Alternative voting system. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. Sorry that should read "an Alternative Vote system ". Basically the options are ranked so as to be more representative. It's a bit harder to count the votes and also isn't at al...
