Proto-Ārgwēa-Votēa-Aeskēa scratchpad

Proto-Ārgwēa-Votēa-Aeskēa (PĀVA) is the proto language of a large family of languages in my conworld. It's sort of a split-off of my previous proto-conlangs after making huge reforms to both the languages and the world.

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

Quick question: is this an example of perfective/imperfective aspects?

I ran (referring to that time last Friday when I ran)

I ran (referring to the fact that I was in track, and ran multiple times)

Or is it something else?

Sound changes question

In language evolution, how do implosive consonants arise? For example, how did the Sindhi language (coming from PIE) develop /ɓ ɗ ʄ ɠ/? Did they come from loans, or some other diachronic process? In one proto-conlang evolution, I have: p’ > ƥ > ɓ t’ > ƭ > ɗ k’ > ƙ > ɠ Is this plausible/attested in a...

Re: Proto conlanging attempts

So I've changed a few of the things about PIT since I posted this. So, let's look at that sentence again, this time with the revisions: Ĵoorotado haandaẖi ravaanari.

Proto conlanging attempts

So some ten days ago I posted in the Beginner's Corner about a few proto-conlanging ideas I had. After many revisions (and nearly giving up), I have made some progress on what I am temporarily calling Proto Tændean [ˌtʰænˈdeɪ.ən]. I have been working fervently on it over spring break (sunday already...

Re: Playing with protolanging - what do you think?

Thanks for the response! I was quite a bit inspired by your thread to make a proto-conlang (and hopefully, an entire family braching from it), and it gave me a lot to consider while doing this. [:D] I know you're asking specifically about sound changes, but just in case, I want to point out that pʰə...

Playing with protolanging - what do you think?

So here's all the stuff: https://docs.google.com/a/cftigers.org/document/d/1o-jUw2Hql1UbIi4aELP10Zr1CpHRBnw2mgKBnke2ekQ/edit?usp=docslist_api Proto Inner Tandean is a proto language that preceded the languages of the land of Inner Tandeus. In this doc, I outlined the phonology of PIT and made sound ...
